1. Sit down at PC, planning to do some comic scanning.
2. Remember that I have a freebie CD from Fireworks magazine that I haven't listened to yet.
3. Track 3 is by Lesbian Bed Death. I'm quite impressed.
4. Hang on. Doesn't their new CD have a female gunslinger on the cover? That would look great in the "Girls with Guns" theme I want to do for the next "Heavy Metal Cover Girls"
5. Let's go look at their website and find a pic.
6. Hmm, what's this about their song being in a zombie movie...
7. And it's a zombie movie set in Stoke-On-Trent. Bloody hell!
Since I'm originally from Staffordshire - Stafford, to be precise -and in my younger days spent a lot of Saturdays ambling about in that part of the world, I find the idea of a zombie movie set in the Potteries to be absolutely brilliant. I really hope the film-makers pull it off.
So, here's the poster.

Right about now some of you are probably wondering "What the hell is an Oatcake?"
"Bloody delicious" is the short answer. It's a sort of oat pancake peculiar to Staffordshire/Derbyshire that's best served lightly toasted with cheese and/or bacon. Most people outside the Midlands have never heard of them. Trust me, they are missing out. Bacon, eggs and hot, buttered oatcake is a breakfast worthy of princes.

Getting back to Lesbian Bed Death, they are, not surprisingly, from the Midlands and describe themselves as "Gothic Punk/Hard Rock".
"What do they sound like? " I hear you ask. How about I let you hear for yourselves?
This is their most recent song - inspired by the infamous Weeping Angels
Not my usual musical area but, you know, this is pretty good.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some comics to scan.
That's all folks.
Loved it BigD.
ReplyDeleteOatcakes indeed.

You can't get oatcakes round here, more's the pity.
DeleteHave a great 2014 too, and happy travelling.
