I guess I should see about getting rid of those games industry labels now I've moved to the music industry.

Honestly this year's gone by so fast, it was around mid November last year I found out I was going to be made redundant. Between finishing up at Ghostlight in February, the job hunt and Thailand trip between jobs, and then training in this job a lot has happened. Really feel it all worked out though

Thanks. After 18 years it's been pretty weird not working in the games industry, but I am enjoying the new job. And the music industry seems pretty interesting too.

The original Fullmetal Alchemist anime.

Seriously by the time I was made redundant the only person who'd been there less time than me was the programmer.

I left the games industry this year, and every time I mention that it's really been struggling to someone they're really surprised.

I'm trying not to think of what Kudus ability to control the most aimless of long balls and make something of them could do in a side where that wasn't the only means of progressing the ball.

Less Than Jake were the first band I ever went to see, always good fun. I've only seen the Aquabats once, but they put on an amazing show, so I'm sure you'll have a great time.

It really is. Going to see Sonic Boom Six in London about a week before my next trip to Japan.

Bit far for me to get too, but I wanted to say I do like your band, definitely be tempted if you ever find yourself playing a gig down in London. I used to go to loads of ska punk gigs.
