Hello and Welcome to my lily pad.
I've only recently discovered the joys of the blogosphere so thought I'd give it a go myself, to see if I can dilute a little of the musical madness going on in my world by sharing it with the rest of you.
Pretty much everyone I know will vouch for the fact that I love music...nearly everyone of them has been subjected to one of my 'laptop sets' at some point or other. I don't profess to be any kind of expert - I can't make music and I can't mix music, but I think I've got a pretty good ear for a nice sounding tune. I can augment this with an enduring willingness to trawl the internet, and more recently spotify, in search of sounds that please me. I think music is something everyone should enjoy and with this blog I hope to share with anyone who's bothered a few of the gems I stumble across.
My taste is eclectic so expect a weird and wonderful mix. And please hit me with any feedback/suggestions you might have to help me continue my musical education.
All my love,
Mr. Toad
Here's a few of my all time greats to give you an idea of what I'm about:
Jurassic 5 - 'Concrete Schoolyard': quite possibly my favourite tune of all time. Definitely brings back the best memories...

Mark Farina - 'Dream Machine' feat. Sean Hayes

Claude VonStroke - 'Deep Throat': the first 'electro' tune i ever loved, and still the most impeccably constructed drop you're ever likely to hear

Big Daddy Kane - 'AIN'T NO HALFSTEPPIN': I love hip-hop, particularly old-skool american stuff, and this guy is the greatest....
"The name is Big Daddy, you know, as in your father
So when you hear a def rhyme, believe that I'm the author
I grab the mic and make MC's evaporate
The party people say, damn...that rapper's great"
