We'll Not Be Victims There'll Be No Victims Of To Speak

Last week was first week of the last semester of uni. Only 11 weeks to go until graduation.

Since my science project fell through, I had Leo set me up somewhere. It's a relief, but I'm kind of worried there's not enough work to be done, if this is true I could fail the entire subject.

The next three months are going to kill me. Already we can see lots of assignments are coming in, and much harder than ones we've done before.

The Saturday Night part of the Poison City Weekender has sold out. No more tickets. There is still tickets for Sunday Afternoon though. I'm not sure if I should get one.

Pros:

• Fear Like Us
• Darren Gibson
• At the Arthouse

Cons:

• I'm sick of going to shows by myself. It sucks.
• A bunch of shitty bands that I don't care for are also playing.

So, I'm gonna have to think about it. I don't want to miss Fear Like Us, they don't play very often (with Jamie Hay being in other bands and all), and Darren Gibson kicked ass last time I saw him play, also, he is a good songwriter.
But if I wait too long, I could miss out on ticket for that as well, the shows not even til September, I'm blaming all this selling out on Samiam and Bodyjar.

Back to class tomorrow. First class with Gloria since 2007, it's going to be long and drawn out, and she's probably gonna give us really annoying fuckin assignments.

In other news. I downloaded this game called Audiosurf (which I played from 10.30pm until 5.30am). It's like, you're this little futuristic hover car sort of thing driving along a 3 lane highway and you have to hit the coloured traffic and avoid the grey traffic.

Sounds gay? Well it would be, except for one thing:
When you choose your music, the game analyses the tempo, pitch changes, instrumentation, etc and builds the track based off the song, then you drive on a track that keeps changing based on the changes in the song, and the speed changes with the tempo of the song.

But it doesn't end there, it's not just some stupid built-in crap background music, you choose your song from your own playlist of mp3s. Some songs are easy (Chuck Ragan's brand of folk punk, for example), while others just kick your ass with twists and turns and super speed, like Propagandhi or...

Streetlight Manifesto (yes, that was my segue from one topic to another), who are a great ska band with horns and everything. The dude was also in Catch 22 years ago, and also does Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution.
But the important thing is that they are a great ska band, and have some great songs. The downside is that they are lazy when it comes to putting out new music. But the last album was very cool.

And now I have to go buy some chicken so I can take chicken sandwiches to school tomorrow.
