Surrounding yourself with the right people is the theme behind episode five, where we chat to Slowcoaches frontwoman Heather Perkins. Gearing up for the release of their debut album Nothing Gives, we take inspiration from their songs to talk about prioritising our most positive friendships.

Don't worry, the chances of me actually playing party music on a Toadcast are about as good as Lana Del Rey getting some semblance of life back into that blank, empty, defeated gaze of hers.No, in reality this is called the Partycast because we are having the label Christmas Party tomorrow at Summerhall, and so tomorrow I shall be running around all day collecting a PA, and shitloads of absolutely awful tinsel and dreadful Christmas decorations.Also, rather tragically. I shall be trying my very best (and probably failing) not to get too utterly obliterated because I will have to be up early in the morning to return the bloody PA and get all our merch stuff through to Chambre 69 to try and sell to people of Glasgow in vast, lucrative quantities. But umm... well I think it's time to accept that I am going to feel like a menstruating badger on Saturday morning.01. Francobollo - Basketball (00.17)02.

This is called the Repeatcast because I sometimes wonder that the constant flow of new music I fire into these podcasts might just passing you by. I know I struggle to stay on top of things sometimes myself, so maybe you just listen when you can be bothered and sometimes things just go in one ear and out the other. I've been considering doing an artist of the week thing, like Ted from http://www.cloudsounds.co.uk/ where he plays two tracks from an artist one week (well, one month now that the show's monthly) and then one from the same artist the next week as well, so there is a degree of reinforcement Knowing me, I doubt I'll ever get round to it, honestly, but you know, it seems like a good idea. Or something vaguely like it seems like a good idea, because it would be a shame if all this music just vanished into the ether. So this week we have a lot of repetition of bands already played on the podcasts, just to make sure you're paying attention properly. Like you should be. 01. Easter - Damp Patch (00.21) 02.

We are in St. Andrews this weekend for the Fence Collective's Eye of the Dug Festival. Needless to say, The Dugcast or something to that effect might have been more suitable, but there are so many golf twats around town that I really couldn't ignore them, not after all the effort they make to look like complete prats. I get the impression that with golf, the costumes became so ludicrous that really the only way to look cool, instead of dressing like a normal person, was to try and look like an even bigger fuckwit than the rest of them. Which, given the exceptionally high bar that has already been set, takes some doing. Anyhow, there is no danger of me ever taking up golf. None at all. I already find playing pool frustrating enough, and it strikes me as really quite similar in the following crucial way: you play what turns out to be a perfect shot, then the next time you do what feels like the exact same fucking thing, and yet somehow the shot you produce is dreadful. With no clue what you've done differently. It would drive me round the fucking bend. Anyhow... erm, oh yes, the podcast: 01. Broncho - Try Me Out Sometime (00.09) 02.
