Wooly indie pop loser

About Me

I live in the mountains of wiltshire. I knit my own pots and pans and raise goats. When not doing this i listen to lot's of music. This tends to fall into the indie varitey. and generally the pop. no haircut indie. I like to drink tea and more recently i like to apply and be rejected for jobs- i do have a job. But i really don't like it that much. the jobs i do want i'll never get. In my lesuire time i go to gigs in the Bath/Bristol area. I gave up going to jazz class as i am the worst dancer ever and i only went after being blackmailed by people who should know better. I did a slightly pointless journalism degree. Radio degree. Phfffft. So i like listening to the radio, i really should listen to more than just six music though.

My Interests

The usual sorts of things i suppose...music, films, gigs usual sorts of things... also see quorn, bussink, tea, wool, live journal..http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=leeree If you have one, and feel thus inclined vinyl, bearbricks....errr. radio. digital radio is my best friend. Stripy knee length socks. and tights.I love reading... but i don't read nearly enough. I read the guardian, but only on a Monday.. I can't really cook, I’m a veggie so anything i can cook will often incorporate tofu or quorn at some point.I can crochet but so far only scarves and wool pets(don't ask). But i do have the largest scarf collection this side of the foreboding doom mountains of Frome........Badges are always a good thing.......I'd love to visit Japan, Russia, Scotland and the US.............. I wish i could play a musical instrument. alas even after three years trying to learn keyboards i still made my teacher weep at my ineptitude............... i was thinking of buying a drum kit. My neighbours deserve to suffer a little.My favourite words are haberdashery and vestibule.

I'd like to meet:

oooh how about steve buchemi. I would have said john peel. now alas i can't which also scuppers the heros section of this daft bloggy m'jig......does this mean people? real people? Don't know about that...anyone? no-one? anyone who apprecaites hand knitted scarves tea and records.and if you hate the film ET i will personally shake you by the hand and knit you something warm (maybe)...If you're wish to debate the merits of Track and Field Vs Fierce panda. I'm all ears.. On the one had Fierce panda gave us Embrace (diediedie)..but then they gave us little gems like gods boyfriend and toaster...

Music:

okie... In no real order. Though Ballboy are strong contenders for favorite band ballboy, belle and sebastian, bis, ooberman, old idlewild circa 1999 and previous.. alas now they join the big turgid radio2 indie sanctuary in the sky....bearsuit, hyper kinako, girlinky, magoo, the broken family band, dressy bessy, hefner, the french, tullycraft, heavenly, luke smith, piney gir, odeon beat club, Helen Love, the postal service, death cab for cutie, the wedding present and cinerama, the smiths, the wannadies, melys, the secret hairdressers, mistys big adventure, Mull historical socitey, the shop assistants, the loves, airport girl, orange juice, Help! she can't swim, the starlets, soulwax, Chewy, Clearlake, le tigre, pulp, cinerama/ TWP, ESp, Dusty, the apples in stereo, arab strap, The Delegados, Seafood, Language Of Flowers,Herman Dune, Gorkys Zygotic Mynci (mmmpatio) ..... i'd imagine you get the gist. But no haircut or coffeetable (i.e. trendy nonesense or drivel like embrace or coldplay). But all the stupid slightly twee blippy, inclusive of kids toys and handclaps you can shake your nice wooly scarf at.

Movies:

Withnail and i, Edward Scissorhands, tim burtons batman films(the other ones were pitiful). the Back to the future films. The Wes Anderson films are fine films as well I can't pick a favorite one, spiderman 1&2.. all that sort of gubbins really

Television:

I love black books, spaced, Peep Show, I am not an animal, Dark Place, the League Of Gentlemen, Father Ted, the Simpsons, Never mind the Buzzcocks, Pop world-Simon and Maquita are just fantastic.. The Powerpuff Girls and Fairly Odd parents are currently vying for my favourite non Simpsons cartoon. But programs like monk and diagnosis murder are ace. So no bad mouthing them. :D

Books:

the revengers tragedy... murder, scandal, sex, a malcontent, incest and a skull. It's all good :DThe moomin books are great. and they're not hippos and i'll take on any one who says otherwise with a crochet hook and a ball of wool. Edward the Booble deserves a mention. Boobles eat pea soup on thursdays and take a bath on SundaySteve lamaqcs autobiography was most interesting. and any one who can do over 300 gigs a year is worthy of our respect.Stephen Fry is a fantastic writer, his books are very funny, very clever. So go read them.

Heroes:

John peel ,Stephen Fry, steve lamacq, Buttercup

My Blog

no blog no fun

Tuesday is my day off. I had a driving lesson. I can do a three point turn. The roundabout induced terror was less predominant than in previous excersions.
