Under the Surface People Still Suck

I've got nothing new, but it's been a while since the last post so this is it.

Albany Down did not get through the semi-finals of this year's Surface Unsigned competition. We lost our round because of the same old story - one band's fans arrived as they started playing, meaning they missed everyone before them and never even got the chance to be converted by our awesomeness.

But you see what I did with the post title? Clever, right? Man, I'm so great.

But we had fun up to this point, and there's still plenty more gigs on the horizon.

Nothing to rant about. Well, nothing new to rant about at the moment. I'd just be covering old ground. Same old same old.

Oh! Driving lesson earlier this week, some moron overtook me approaching a blind corner under a railway and miraculously avoided the oncoming cars by a gnat's ball. But I was sitting around 30 and I stayed calm, so fuck 'em. They can kill themselves any time they like.
I'm loving the driving, even though last week seemed to be the highest population of idiots in one area I've seen for a while. It was like people were actually trying to put me off or cause mistakes. They failed of course, because shockingly enough I actually appear to be quite good at this driving thing. And I love it, which is even better.

See kids? Video games help hand-eye co-ordination and racing simulators (simulators, none of your 400mph nitro cornering crap) help with spatial awareness.
And I've never killed anyone, surprising though it may be. Yet, anyway.

But let's be honest, they do ask for it.
