An agglomeration of links for 2010-01-31
Visited bloglines and some blogs today and I came up with a few interesting links. The first is a link to the way Eun-Ha’s video Now and Then is referenced in a course dealing with Flash animation. The second is to a search feature at Harper’s Index, and the third is to the 2010 Edge Question, “How is the Internet Changing the Way You Think?”

A Place to Bury Strangers reviews & interviews, late January 2010
-
“More Intelligent Life recently caught up with Oliver Ackermann, the band’s lead singer and guitarist. He spoke about his aim to convey our “ambiguous textured world”, his affinity for body-enveloping loudness and the “clearer” sound of their new album.”
-
“Still, it’s a game played with refreshing conviction. And skill.”
-
Exploding Head, their sophomore album, is definitely a step above their self titled debut, and there is nary a bad song on it. Dead Beat stands out because it sounds like some kind of twisted rockabilly song. – number 10
-
“I have continuously heard the name A Place To Bury Strangers thrown around, but I had no idea what to expect. “
-
“the second clip from a band that’s now recognized as the foremost psych-rock band in the American underground. We all know that A Place To Bury Strangers frontman Oliver Ackermann can bring the fury like few contemporary musicians can.”

It won’t be playing in the background at your dinner party but it will be a perfect partner to an end-of-week gym session or hacking it down the motorway 😉

This is not a show to be missed

“”I love the interplay and contrasts between something that’s pretty and something that’s scary,” explains Oliver Ackermann (guitar/vocals). “Taking people to different places – even in one song – is so important, whether it makes them cry or pissed off.”
-
Keep Slipping Away is the perfect example of this; while still as noisy as ever, more clarity has been given to the vocals and the songs driving rhythm is, dare I say it, catchy.
-
“What makes this record so unbelievably authentic is that it was initially little more than a collection of demos recorded over a three-year period dispatched around several labels in the hope of a reaction.” Number 5

Videos about computer hardware
We always spend about one class period in CPSC 110 discussing basic computer hardware, and I often have the students look at the video from How Stuff Works. It and few others are listed below. In addition to having students look at the videos I also brought in a couple of computers they could take apart and get their hands on. This activity is also mentioned at http://ernie.umwblogs.org/2010/01/24/cpsc-110-january-21-2010/

A Place to Bury Strangers; Exploding Head reviews mid-January 2010
-
“it’s consistent. It never stops for breath. It’s just track after track of classic shoegaze.” Number 1
-
On the absolutely stunning Exploding Head, the trio of singer/guitarist, Oliver Ackermann, bassist, Jono MOFO, and drummer, Jay Space realize their full potential.
