Once again, I've been away for a while and, once again, I have not really done anything noteworthy. First up, I'd like to say thank you to all who sent kind words for Emma, they were much appreciated and if you weren't on my Christmas card list already, you sure as hell are now.
I've actually been up to very little outside of uni, although I did attend my first gig in around a month: Eluvium and Explosions in the Sky. Although I hadn't really listened to either of them much before attending, I actually had a really good time. The only problem was that the venue was a pretty poor choice (Glasgow Barrowlands) due to the slightly muddy sound. Eluvium also seemed lost on such a huge stage. No photos this time either, due to security apparently having problem with cameras with zoom lenses (no joke, that is the excuse they gave me).
Apart from that, I bought a bunch of Stephen King short story collections after watching 1408. I know this may seem strange, but there is some seriously good shit in there. For anyone interested in good horror, read "The Road Virus Heads North". It's a cliched story but it's executed so damn well!
One final thing: if anyone's heading to any of these gigs (all are in Glasgow) feel free to drop me a line and we can meet up. I'm starting to feel like I don't know anyone outside of uni anymore:
Feb 4: Behemoth / Kataklysm
Feb 6: Dark Tranquillity / Evile / Omnium Gatherum
Feb 9: Earth / Sir Richard Bishop
Feb 15-17: Instal 08
Feb 29: Tegan & Sara / Northern State
Mar 19: Enablers
May 8: Willie Nelson
Jul 3: My Bloody Valentine
I may head to Portishead and/or Kinky Friedman as well, but I'll need to see how money works out.
Hope you're all keeping well, I love every one of ya

I'm not sure how much longer. Maybe summer. One Florida summer's enough, you know? And yes, Postal Service is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. The song "This Place is a Prison" was the one I had in mind when I wrote that.
Have a good one man.
