Went to Lancaster last night to see my friend Shaun's first gig with his new(ish) band. They played it as I Am Aidan (say it out loud for full effect) but will thankfully be altering that particular moniker as soon as they find something they all agree on. Many suggestions were piled out before they went onstage, including my inspired choice 'RoShamBo' but to no avail. They were good fun, sort of metalcore/hardcore stuff with plenty of screaming and some fucking amazing drumming. The other bands who played were also quite good, although their names completely escape me. Apologies. I really should remember these trivial details a little better given that my current GPM (gigs per month) is probably running at less than 1. Oh, for the halcyon days of York and at least 3 gigs a week. I'll never see the likes of those again. At least until I, er, go back there.

Last night also brought a surprise in a shapely female form, although to be honest I'm not optimistic. I've learnt dour pessimism and bitterness over the last year. And oh boy there's nothing like dour pessimism and bitterness for getting the chicks. Call me Matt Organic, EMO KING.
