Music
After years of wanting one, I have finally got my hands on a Yamaha SW1000XG Midi Card. I will finally be able to write and produce music on my computer again!

I used to have an SW80XG in my old computer. When I upgraded my pc, I discovered it didn't fit inside. The SW80 cost me £80, which was an awful lot back when I was a first-year student. It's replacement, the SW1000XG cost £500. But then it is vastly superior.

I didn't pay that much for it. I paid £170 for a second hand one on eBay. It's only just arrived, so I haven't even tested it yet. It looks okay, but for all I know it might not work.

If it does work, I'm very probably going to buy a domain name (and may even consider buying a server) and resurrect my old website. Although given that I know now of two other bands called Perish, I'll probably change the name. Which is a shame, because it suits my music far more than it suits either of them.

If it doesn't work, I'm going to be very disappointed indeed.
