The trouble with not getting round to writing on LJ is that I store up things in my head which I intend to write. So I'd like to tell you about my recent holiday, but first I want to write about the epic pie I made a week or two ago. But I also intended to write about seeing Veronica Falls live, and I meant to tell you about Whitby goth weekend, and was keen to mention seeing PWEI before that...
Anyway. I can't help noticing that the only way to move forward is to bite the bullet, mix the metaphor, and get on with it. In summary: Veronica Falls are brilliant, kind of indie pop with a bit of a My Bloody Valentine fuzz, and you should check them out. They were supported by the Dum Dum Girls who are also pretty good, and their lead sinder is audibly indistinguishable from the Chrissie Hynde.
WGW was a bit of a departure this year,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
keris, davefish and I (having carelessly mislaid our usual flat) moved into a large house with ceb, damerell and Heather (WINOLJ, AFAIK). They all turned out to be lovely housemates, and even the bands in the Spa turned out to be enjoyable. I had no idea that the advertised "Chameleons Vox" were a reconstituted version of the band I know as The Chameleons, which was a splendid thing to discover.
And PWEI? Well, we partied like it was 1995. Despite retaining only about one original member, PWEI are still jumping about the stage, yelling, like it's 1995.
So, about that pie. Under the following cut are some fairly graphic pictures of the animal parts which went into making my pork pie.
( If that's the kind of thing you don't want to look at, don't click here )
( From here on you'll still get pictures of a meat pie in the making, but nothing too gruesome. If you can handle looking at streaky bacon you'll be ok. )
