New virtual address
Hi guys... just a very quick update to let you all know that I've got a new home! Both internet and real. We've moved to the North York Moors, and the new house is basically so awesome I've started a blog for it: daughterofthenorth.wordpress.com if anyone would like to read. I'm trying to post a mix of local interest, domestic stuff like gardening ( Read more... ) -

Be once more upon this land
So after loving them for about a decade and a half, tonight I finally saw Inkubus Sukkubus live for the very first time.
On the downside, they didn't play any of my greatest favourites - no All Along the Crooked Way, no Pagan Born, no Song to Pan. On the upside, they played a ton of stuff off the most recent albums that I don't have and am now ( Read more... ) -

Exception is the Eurythmics box set which is £5 postage because it weighs a ton. Also, that and Terria will both be sent recorded ( Read more... ) -
I am just chronicling this for posterity.
Okay. So yesterday, April 11th 2013, was the tenth anniversary of House of 1000 Corpses. I wrote an article about it for Brutal As Hell. I was pretty happy with that article, all things considered. Proud of it, even.
I tweeted a link to Rob Zombie's official Twitter, just because, and linked it up on Facebook.
He retweeted me. And linked the ( Read more... ) -
The aliens have guitars.
I just woke up from a dream in which one of those listening-telescopes that's scanning the galaxy for signs of alien life had detected someone on another planet playing doom metal. The scientific community went nuts, and the metalheads were all going crazy demanding to hear the recordings ( Read more... ) -
It must be the leather jacket, I swear.
Just got stopped in the street by a carful of lads probably barely into their twenties, who asked me for directions to the Abbey. Fair enough, says I, and explains as best I can given the vagaries of Whitby's one way system ( Read more... )
