Don Marti presented a talk where he describes how he uses make, git, and other tools for work other than software development. His primary example use case was document processing, but he noted the applicability of the tools to other scenarios.

The dictionary has been regularly updated, and the latest edition, presented free online for the first time, includes a thesaurus, fully integrated into the entries.

MacmillanDictionary.com also offers unique treatment of metaphor, showing how many ordinary familiar words and phrases have metaphorical meanings, although we do not usually realise this when we use them.

On Easter Sunday in 1996 there was a big festival in Düsseldorf, Germany—the German TV show Rockpalast was there and captured some outstanding footage of Sonic Youth in its prime, supporting their ninth album Washing Machine, from which most of the material played in the show stems.

Other acts participating in what came to be called “Osterrocknacht” (Easter Rock Night) were Cypress Hill, the Walkabouts, Smashing Pumpkins, the Afghan Whigs, Garbage, and Chumbawamba (a year before their breakout hit “Tubthumping”).

Sonic Youth doesn’t play a single song from before Daydream Nation. In fact, 9 out of the 11 songs come off of SY’s two most recent albums, Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star and Washing Machine.

The first three songs amount to throat-clearing before the band starts really kicking ass on “Washing Machine.” The camerawork, audio, and editing are all excellent, and the 21-minute finale of “The Diamond Sea” has to be seen to be believed.

Through the projects and activities contained in this book, it is possible to understand how the central component of networking in Italy is the web of relations: going to a conference, participating in a festival, talking and sharing projects with others, organising a thematic meeting and at the same time, meeting in a bar or a restaurant with people who share our interests, become creative occasions to produce new activities and projects.

This is part 2 of CELLULAR CHAOS' studio session in May 2011.

CELLULAR CHAOS is Ceci Moss, Marc Edwards & Weasel Walter.

A blistering live solo drum improvisation by the master of disaster with longwinded liner notes covering the dramatic arc of WW's 2009-2014 New York period

"Robert Wyatt, the composer, songwriter and onetime Soft Machine drummer, recently announced his retirement from music at age 69. As his role in the Softs was coming apart in 1970, he released his first solo LP, titled End of an Ear, which announced an entirely different sonic imprint than heard on most period Canterbury records (and was made in opposition to his former bandmates).

One can hope that drummer/guitarist Weasel Walter will keep pushing back at least that long; End of an Error marks his geographic departure from New York and the city’s improvisational underground. However, for the past year and change, he’s been on the road with Lydia Lunch and Cellular Chaos and thus setting the kit aside, as noted in the accompanying essay, so perhaps what better way to announce the next phase than returning to his roots? Walter’s first release was a cassette of multi-tracked solo music, The Final Solution (1991), and as much as he claims an aversion to solo drumset recordings, End of an Error makes a case for his ability to compel with a narrow palette.

Contra crowd pleasers like Han Bennink, Pierre Favre or Paul Lytton, Walter uses a pared-down and high-tuned kit, augmented only by scattered gongs, roto-toms, ratchet, and jam block. There is a noticeable and serious arc to this 26-minute live performance, building on sharp, isolated micro-phrases and accenting bombs, condensed and needling movements accentuated by garish, sashaying gestures. At the five-minute point, small sounds are overlaid and the focus turns to a larger field of action, though not without customary, haranguing clusters. Of course, even as a solo operating within several parallel areas, there are common phrases and a concentrated heft, allowing this admittedly lengthy piece to hang together as a totality (even in seeming asides, like the fiddling section at 18:25). Piling dry, discrete notes and spreading them out in a study of directed contrasts, Walter’s approach is reminiscent of European and Japanese free players, though with a manic clarity drawn from no wave and metal. But rather than a summation of what’s come before, End of an Error is a statement of purpose, and a reminder that committed, absolutist art is the only step forward that’s worth taking."
