Kent’s New Album Röd

Written by Christian Nelson

red2550pxThe new album, Röd, is released today November 6. This will be their 8th album and I bought it of course! The first single, Töntarna (The Nerds), is just the way i like it, more Electonica! Thanks Mr. Schumann!

You can buy the new album at Kent’s Official homepage, in FLAC even! And it will soon be available on the Swedish iTunes. They will also be releasing a four CD Deluxe Edition of the album so if you’re a fan like me grab it if you find it. The Deluxe CD Set will contain rare live material and more…

The album has been recorded between 2008 and 2009 in New York, Hansa studios in Berlin, Psykbunkern/Park Studio and Hyltinge Church in Sweden and in different living rooms, and is produced with Jon “Joshua” Schumann, who also produced Kent’s previous studio album.

100blumen – Down With The System, Long Live The System!

Written by Christian Nelson

100blumen – Down With The System, Long Live The System!
100blumen’s third album on ant-zen is a very comprehensive and elaborate one that displays a perfect merging of powerful rhythmic floral industrial and haunting technoid ambience.
throbbing dance sledge hammers like ‘the unrest’, ‘the anger’ and the electro anarchic power noise anthem ‘unbreakable’ prove that this artist is one of the leading present day industrial masters. another facet of 100blumen’s mastery can be experienced on atmospheric tracks like ‘tired green’ where hypnotic repetitive patterns and puissant sub-bass create a continuous hypnotic flow. the album’s conclusion, ‘klimaveränderung’ combines m.nickels’ punk roots with hammering e-beats and electroacoustic sound collages – an amazing collaboration with guitarist c.tiegelkamp and marching dynamics’ shane talada.
this is another step of the one man army 100blumen’s plan to destroy all flower haters with the burning beats of anarchy… and after that, he will have a drink. eat the rich or die trying!

Nick Miners Photography

Written by Christian Nelson

Nick Miners PhotographyNick Miners is an old friend of mine, and he recently redesigned his website. The new design is beautiful, and minimalistic…  Nick will not only share his lovely photos, he will also give musing tips and hints on how to capture the moment.

Go visit  Nick Miners Photography!

Someone has said this about Nick;  ”This will probably inflate his already oversized ego, but them’s the breaks.

Nick doesn’t take himself too seriously, he leaves that to his football fanaticism and his love of all things Icelandic.

We probably get on so well because we are both originally from the north of England. At least that’s what I’ve put it down to as stating we have a similar eye may well bring him out in hives (or something worse).

I am constantly awed, inspired and intimidated by the photography of Nick. As a photographer, I’m slowly coming in to my own. Nick helped shape that by infusing me with a little bit of the passion for photography that he seems to constantly carry with him, for this, I thank him greatly.

Nick Miners is a mystery wrapped in a riddle shrouded in an enigma.”

Indexr

Written by Christian Nelson

Indexr is a small PHP script for listing images/files in any given folder. Simply drop it into your directory with files or images, and it will create thumbnails for your files and list everything in a nice eye-pleasing manner!
Demo
www.imagevuex.com/indexr/
Get it now!
indexr.googlecode.com
You can change sorting order, thumbnail size, CSS and html layout by simply editing the single file index.php. Of course it requires PHP, and GD or ImageMagick for creation of thumbnails. Thumbnails are created and stored in a separate subfolder unless they already exist.

Startup chime doesn’t play on startup

Written by Christian Nelson

Startup chime doesn’t play on startup
Startup chime stopped working on my iMac (24-inch Early 2008) running OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leaopard, i don’t know when this happened since i rarely restart my system. But still it got me worried and it’s been bugging me.
But the solution was as simple as i thought, it was the parameter memory i just zapped the PRAM, If you are experiencing this same problem try turn you computer down and hold down these keys and restart your system ? + ? + P + R keep holding them down till your system boots up.
Hope this helps you, it did the trick for me, oh and if you are using i wireless keyboard please plug in your USB-Keyboard before this procedure.
Hope it can be of help, if your “Chime” Startup Sound is gone.
