Toast



We love Toast. With butter, bacon, marmalade, marmite, peanut butter, nutella, jam and anything else that you could possibly have on toast. But the toast we love more than one of the nations favourite breakfast options is the shop. Run by Mr Richard Ledger it's home to hangers and hangers of one off print t-shirts, the glorious gory-ness of Drop Dead, all sorts of hand printed designs and more leaflets than you could fit in a black bin liner. Best of all its an independent shop, showcasing and selling independent designers, playing bassy brilliant music and putting on my favourite night at Bungalows and Bears; Toast's Special Sauce on Monday nights. Located in the Forum Shopping Centre on Division Street, its definately worth a gander.
Above is a picture of Ele & the Bunnymen who is doing a collaboration with Rich Manuva. Mental, but it could work?
Ele is amazing. In my eyes she is on a pedestool. Way up there. She is the shit.
Look at this for the best night of you're life. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=49628341451&ref=ts

Nigel B.I.G


This is Nigel or Nigel B.I.G. He is one of my best friends and probably the coolest person I know. We present a radio show together on Forge Radio (www.forgeradio.com) on tuesday nights called Tuesday Beats and Pieces. I will let you know when you can tune in online, but to get your electronic genre taste buds going we have interviews lined up with Krafty Kuts, Scratch Perverts, Toddla T, and Plastician, as well as Deadelus in the studio. Nigel will be guest blogging on this blog. He makes incredible electronica music and has a passion for knitting.

No need to edit a picture here seeing as Nigel aka Nigel B.I.G is wearing a Biggie esque hat. At this point I would like to mention that I actually took this photograph. I have mad skills.


Amy In Chains


So this is the part of the show where we show you our friends through the medium of music. This is Amy or Amy In Chains.

Many more to come.

Holy Cow



Hello. Victoria speaking.


I am from this weird place called Stroud. It is odd but lovely. There is an area of common land covered in golf courses, ruins of an old fort, and cow shit. Cow shit because the cows run (they actually just plod) free. Its like a bizarre version of that film about the people who have a lion/tiger/liger cub and set it free. 'Born Free'? But these cows are a fucking pain. Several times i have been driving in this cow pedestrian zone and almost hit a few because they swing their massive heads out into the thin roads, they tend to do this at rush hour. And yes, sleepy Stroud sometimes even has a rush hour.


My darling sister Imogen unfortunately was involved in a car accident this week. She wasn't speeding or under the influence. She was simply driving, pedal to the metal, when a giant rump decided to stroll/plod or maybe even skip into the 40 mph road. She hit it.


She is fine.

The car is scrap.

The cow is steak.




Online in '09


Its taken us a while, but we have finally jumped on this blog wagon. How exciting. We are Victoria & Amy and we like all sorts of things, many of which we will be writing about. Expect regular 'Toilet Diaries' where we will be posting pictures of the interesting graffiti we find in lady's loos around Sheffield. We also plan to show you our friends through the medium of music! Watch out for that. And all sorts of weird facts, funky fresh stories and comments about the world around us.


BOOP.
