An early tip for April is Brooklyn's A Place to Bury Strangers — this year's guitar-destroying poster-boys for tinnitus. Their brand of ultra-abrasive noise rock is dividing the critics, but we love 'em. Sure, they wear their influences on their sleeve, but take it from us, none of your favourite bands ever played this loud before. Stereo Glasgow on 1st April.

I got an email about an outdated hyperlink from a person who was looking at one of the pages, http://www.webliminal.com/Lrn-web07.html, I’d constructed several years ago to go with a chapter in
“Learning to Use the World Wide Web
.”
The original link went to a description of URLs at NCSA. That description is gone. Here is another.

URLs are used to point to files online or on a local hard drive. They come in five different formats, file, gopher, news, http, and partial.

New York-based A Place to Bury Strangers are composed of Oliver Ackermann (guitar/vocals), Jono MOFO (bass) and Jay Space (drums).

Sunday is top-lined by the fuzzed out and fried-to-a-crisp clamor of A Place To Bury Strangers, psych-rock revival O.G.s The Warlocks, and New York’s Raveonettes-esque noir-poppers The Vandelles. Once again the entire festival will be set to Fillmore-era liquid light projections, psychedelic art from The Angels’ Christian Bland (and a few bongwater-soaked, vintage pieces rescued from the Vulcan Gas Company), and backed by “classic trip sequences” provided by I Luv Video and Austin Underground Film—hopefully including something from Peter Fonda’s embarrassingly bad “let’s get Jack Nicholson high and film it” opus The Trip.
