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I got an email about an outdated hyperlink from a person who was looking at one of the pages, http://www.webliminal.com/Lrn-web07.html, I’d constructed several years ago to go with a chapter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.

New York-based A Place to Bury Strangers are composed of Oliver Ackermann (guitar/vocals), Jono MOFO (bass) and Jay Space (drums). The trio play an atmospheric blend of shoegaze and psychedelic rock, and are especially known for loud live performances at their very own Brooklyn artist community, venue and effects pedal factory, Death by Audio.

Announcing A Place to Bury Strangers at PyschFest
Saturday, February 14th, 2009

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.

Hotly tipped Brooklyn group A Place To Bury Strangers are set to hit the UK with some fresh tour dates and a new single.

Below, check out “My Weakness”, the third video from A Place to Bury Strangers’ self-titled debut. Directed by Dylan Mulick and heavy with Death Proof-esque undertones, parts of the video were apparently filmed in one of the go-to locations for the original Star Trek series, Vasquez Rocks. Ominous.

I remember the first time I first heard A Place to Bury Strangers. It was 2005; I barely had a band of my own off the ground, and I was still trying to find my way in New York.

New York’s blog-appointed “loudest band” is back in the studio and getting ready to hit the road. No, not Swans. I’m talking about this generation’s “loudest band” and indie media darling, A Place to Bury Strangers.

MLton is run from the command line with a collection of options fol lowed by a file name and a list of files with which to compile,
assemble, and link with. The simplest case is to run mlton foo.sml, where foo.sml contains a valid SML program, in which case MLton compiles the program to produce an executable foo. Since MLton does not support separate compilation, the program must be the entire program you wish to compile. However, the program may refer to signatures and structures defined in the Basis Library. -
The ability to define new identifiers is central to every high-level programming language. Identifiers are the way that programmers refer to constructs they create; different uses of identifiers correspond to the different abstraction mechanisms provided by the programming language. Let’s take a closer look at the way that identifiers are used in ML.

Shoegaze indie-rockers, A Place To Bury Strangers, have been awfully busy of late, recording the follow-up to their 2007 self-titled debut, preparing for their first performance at Coachella, and whipping up a music video for the song, “My Weakness,” the third clip from the debut.
Sections of the video were shot in California’s Vasquez Rocks—the same location where original Star Trek episodes were often filmed. The similarities between the band and the sci-fi series pretty much end there though. Well, their ears are a little pointy…
