  4. Bomb The Music Industry

    in Gigs & Event Announcements

    Posted

    The first GFN? night of 09 promises to be a real treat!!!

    btmi_flyer.jpg

    Bomb The Music Industry! is a musical collective from New York. They write, produce, record (sometimes only through the microphone on an iMac), and distribute all of their music under the leadership of lead songwriter and producer Jeff Rosenstock. Over the course of a million members, four albums, two location changes, one seven inch and a bunch of compilation tracks, the collective has gone from being misunderstood by friends and family to staggeringly slight internet buzz. This is probably because Bomb! releases all their music for free online, disguising carefully planned marketing as D.I.Y ethic! "We'd like to think it's because of the music, which some reporters have incorrectly called 'ethereal', 'stunning musicianship' and 'a masterpiece on the same level as Picasso.' Not completely forgetting about record-collecting nerds, vinyl versions of BTMI albums have also been released.

    Bomb the Music Industry! plays a blend of several musical styles anchored onto ska and punk. They're often compared to bands from previous waves of ska such as the Blue Meanies, Fishbone or Big D and the Kids Table, that blended a range of influences and experimental effects onto the ska framework common in each band's respective eras. Bomb the Music Industry! also share similarities with popular ska/punk acts such as Catch-22 and Slapstick. The influences go deeper than ska and punk, however, as studio experimentation, synth-pop, and DC hardcore pop up in the mix.

    Bomb The Music Industry! also tries to be nice to people. They will burn you a CD or even go so far as to bring stencils and paint along to shows for kids to make their own "official" t-shirts; you just have to bring your own shirt. That's gotta be cool because now Beck is doing it. As always, anyone at their shows who knows a song and brings their own instrument is welcome to perform with them on-stage.

  11. I need some help

    in Gaming & Technology

    Posted

    i'm gonna try running it in safemode tonight and see if i can get somewhere. what does hijackthis do?

    Hijackthis will basically create a log for you to post on forums to help experts decipher the problem and tell you what entries to delete etc.

    Before that, I really recommend going through this thread and it's related links to properly fix things:

    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide - MajorGeeks Support Forums

    They'll get you to do a hijackthis log but only after you've done specific things, it may seem like a lot to do, but just work through it as you get excellent help from these guys for free.

    Hope this helps!

    Alright folks, I'm helping put together a fundraiser gig for a mate who is going to Cambodia to volunteer in a hospital and teach kids English. Obviously the flights & injections etc. aren't cheap so that's what this gig is in aid of. Anyone up for helping out and playing for a good cause please get in touch, final date hasn't been confirmed just yet but it should be in the first or second week of September. (I'll post it up asap)

    If you could reply on here or send us a PM,
