Loud Slow Rules!

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 22:13:53 -0400

My band is looking for a drummer.

We’re looking for someone
* who will be committed to the band, and to staying in Philadelphia
* who enjoys loud, heavy music
* stable and dependable
* who can play big and open

With bonus points for
* being visually artistic
* knowing people in the local DIY and house show scene

We play
* fucking loud
* slow
* similar to Melvins, Boris, etc

We want to
* record songs gradually to release on the internet
* record a larger project (full-length or EP)
* play a few shows a month in an 8-10 hour radius of Philadelphia
* play fewer shows in bars and more shows in all ages spaces
* create a consistent visual style

Download or stream our demo at http://wormrider.bandcamp.com. Contact me via email at paintitmatt [at] gmail [dot] com if you or someone you know are interested.

earache:

BONDED BY BLOOD drummer, Carlos Regalado has gone MIA in Canada. He was last seen around 3AM at Foufounes Electriques in Montreal. If you may know where he is or have spotted him around somewhere, please call the Earache US office at 718-786-1707 or tweet the band @bondedbybloodla and let everyone know where he is.

Never mind, he’s been found.

Do you want to move all the mailboxes from one mailbox database to another? You can do this easily by using the following command:
 Get-MailboxDatabase   | Get-Mailbox | Move-Mailbox -TargetDatabase  
You can even use wildcard characters with the Get-MailboxDatabase cmdlet to consolidate mailboxes from multiple source mailbox databases into a single destination mailbox database.

Powershell make no sense to me…

“Canned Heat” referred to any one of a number of concoctions based on alcohol found in shoe polish, cooking fuel, etc., which it is believed Johnson had a liking for.

Dear camera buffs, help please.

My parents want to get me a new camera for my birthday, but want me to decide which one. So I’m doing research. Features I want include:

Small enough I can throw it in my bag for everyday use
Aperture and shutter priority modes, fully manual mode
rechargeable battery
durability
good low-light pictures
GOOD PICTURE QUALITY

The two cameras I keep coming back to are yet to be released, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX700K and Canon Powershot S95. Coincidentally, they have the same suggested retail price!

I’ve had Canon cameras in the past and their menus seem intuitive to me, but for some reason I’m leaning towards the Lumix. It just seems nicer for some reason… maybe the extra megapixels and touch-screen?

* edit: the Lumix DMC-LX5K just caught my eye.

Thoughts? Recommendations? Other cameras I should know about?

This is so wrong.
