I just posted a small but welcome update to Indices.
In order to make the entire link cells clickable, the original version used a technique that caused “Save As” and “Copy Link Location” to break in most browsers. This has annoyed me for almost two years but I just found time to fix it.
The original version surrounded the cell content with a div, and put the link on that. I changed it to use CSS to expand the link:
td a, th a {
display: block;
height: 100%;
}
Seems to work much better.
You can download the new version (1.1) here.
My pals in Guitar vs. Gravity are recording right now, and they’re posting quality video documentary materials. Go to be watching. Can you spot the Blumlein configuration?
1. We, the Kowloon Walled City, are in the midst of recording our new thing. It’ll be a full-length, and The Perpetual Motion Machine is going to release it. Exciting/exhausting. There’s some session pics and rambling over at the KWC site.
2. Every time I watch a video on Chasing The Moon, I want to tell all of my friends to carve out an hour and watch every episode on the site. CTM is a video series of San Francisco bands/artists performing at Hyde Street Studio C. Beautiful photography, beautiful recordings, and great performances. I watched the Sonya Cotton episode last night, and it’s gorgeous. Also, 421 as vocal mic!
3. I recorded 4 songs for Farticus a few months ago, and Aquarius just gave their CD a great review (between a serious beating about the band name, heh):
…holy shit, these four songs are intense and brutal, tons of low end, the guitars chugging and churning, occasionally getting all twisted and warped, evoking prime era Butthole Surfers, the drums pounding and chaotic, and the vocals, shit, a wild banshee screech, sounding like a Riot Grrl all grown up ready to kick your ass. Reminds us a bit of classic SF weirdo rockers, Tragic Mulatto, in fact, if you can imagine the Buttholes, Tragic Mulatto, but with Unsane guitars, that’s what this is all about.
Another year, another RPM Challenge. I love doing this stuff, everybody should make a record in a big hurry now and then.
This year it was SNAILFACE. Here’s the back story, and here’s where you go to download the record.
Also, Pace somehow found the time to do his own RPM record, as The Talls. It’s a concept album. About beer. It is fucking great. Go, journey to Trappisttown.
Bradee and I are working on another Big Red Boots record too, but it’ll be a few months. KWC is recording in a few weeks so we’re hustling to get our act together for that.
