Hello brothers and lovers! I was just trawling through that thar internet, looking for something to do, when I thought "why the heck not pop back home and see how things are going?" So here I am. It's been, what? 8 years since we all started hanging out. Fuckin' hell. I'm sorry I've been away for so long - been doing a degree and shit. Very soon I'm going to have to find a job OR wither and die. The latter currently looks more likely. Here's an album I wrote and recorded in February. It's not the highest quality recording-wise (I'm hoping to re-do most of it later this year with my new band). Hopefully you'll enjoy it, though. And here's a picture of me playing banjo in my new band, taken on Friday in the fabulous city of HULL: So... How have you all been?

been through the fire and the rain...
but there's a chance the light on the horizon is a new day dawning...
rather than another mushroom cloud...
welcome back, we kept a (semi) constant vigil in your absence.

Great to hear from ya, buddy. Good to see you're doing something you enjoy.
Still kinda aimless at this end...

Good to hear from both of ya! Can't promise I'll stick around for very long, but I'll try to... As for doing something I enjoy... I'm never going to be able to turn it into a proper career or anything, but it's all good fun; I meet exciting (and lovely) people, see parts of the country that I wouldn't otherwise, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't flattering! If you want to listen to some stuff I've done that's better recorded, etc. you can check out my old band here. That link has our proper released-on-an-actual-CD EP "Little Victories" (I wrote the last two songs on it, and sing on them, plus I did the artwork), as well as our original demo and some awful Christmas songs that I wasn't really involved with. I don't really appear on most of that stuff, though - just play some pretty undetectable keyboard... I also wrote the song on the demo called "Do Not Disconnect". We've stopped playing in that band now, though. My new band is called August Actually. ...and there we are!

Been pretty good. Thinking about going for a GED to get out of this bullshit situation with school. Listening to your album now. Pretty awesome.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's a GED?

General Equivalency Diploma, its a battery of tests in all the major subjects you can take to get piece of paper certifying you could have graduated from high school the normal way like most of the faceless masses are expected to do, but didn't for whatever reason.
Personally i took a very extended leave of absence from the system, before it made me burn the place down...

Great stuff, guys!
I met up with my new housemate this afternoon to discuss our plans re:living together. Hoping to move into an area of Nottingham called Forest Fields. It's where most of my friends live, though it's not the best area (cheap, though!).

Well I'll be damned! I actually missed something in my week or two of not checking in.

Sorry I dropped off again; I'd probably get used to that as I got a lot of stuff going on at the minute... Started a new job on Monday! Nothing glamourous - answering phones for minimum wage. 's'okay.
