Merry Christmas to one and all and Happiest of New Years!
... been a bit occupied with many friends and family occassions over the yule time log but just popped by to relay that I did in fact receive 'Powder, Custard and Pies' from Father Chrimble Tree. Aside from the front cover being placed upside down in the CD holder all was perfect. You see, I hadn't heard this album since I filtered me New Order collection into the loft during a house move about 3 years back and PC&L was missing from the CD rack down the stairs.
Anyhow, how beautiful it was to slip the shiny object into the player and re-live those glory days gone by the way. '5-8-who-do-we-appreciate', 'The Village Idiot' and 'Throw Me A Bone' made me weak with hunger. 'Your Silenced Fascia' sounded as crisp as a freshly un-popped Pringles tube and 'We All Can't Wait for it to Finish' was duly skipped after the first bass drawl ... so same as always I guess, but what a joy to hear after what must be a 3 year gap tooth.
A pal of mine bought me Depeche Modulars 'Not Very Excitable' album which I already have so its a free trip to the His Masters Voice shop for a £16 quid prize picking ... and I still haven't got the horrific 70MPH things, hhmmmmm.
Hope you are all having a great time and Fetlock Chrimbo was generous to everyone and every animal.
There's a lot of threads to get through ... and that's just my Christmas jumper.
