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.

documentation for the BASIS Library

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…

Last night A Place To Bury Strangers was absolute destruction, or, as their Myspace reads, “Total Sonic Annihilation.” They blasted through a bunch of songs, including a sort of sped up version of “The Falling Sun” and of course my favorite song by them, “Don’t Think Lover,” which was exceedingly kickass and deafening.

The applet API lets you take advantage of the close relationship that applets have with Web browsers. The API is provided by the javax.swing.JApplet class and the java.applet.AppletContext interface.
-
Like applications, applets are created from classes. However, applets do not have a main method as an entry point, but instead, have several methods to control specific aspects of applet execution.

Sneaking out under the radar, it was nonetheless an inspiring mixture of old and new, taking the psychedelic template and stretching it until it breaks. After touring with MGMT the group became a must see attraction, using their own, hand-built guitar pedals to produce some extreme noises.

The New York based-band have announced dates for a short tour of the UK and Ireland. They will be performing a six date tour starting in Dublin on March 31. Their album was remastered and released in the UK last time that they toured the UK and Ireland. Before the tour of the UK and Ireland they will be playing at a couple of Universities in the US and at Coachella afterwards. You can see the tour dates below.

The third video from A Place to Bury Strangers’ self-titled debut. “My Weakness” features shots of the band playing live with warm tones of the California desert splicing in between. The video looks like it was pulled straight out of the 1990s alternative rock vault. But then again, this trio wears its influences on their sleeves, pants and shoes.

This is the greatest achievement in the art of visceral noise sculpture since Loveless. If you like your shoegaze swathed in crushing, pummeling, mind-erasing distortion, then you will love this album. If you ever wanted to know what a combination of the Jesus and Mary Chain, Joy Division, and Ministry sounded like, then you will love this album.

Demonstration applets and source code are included below. To run the applets, click on a link below with your web browser, or use AppletViewer to open the file named example1.html in the the applet’s subdirectory.
-
When you put an applet on your page you will need to save the applet on your server as well as the HTML page the applet is embedded in. When the page is loaded by a visitor the applet will be loaded and inserted on the page where you embedded it.

This tutorial will take you step by step through the process of building applets. I have chosen for a Learn-By-Example method, the fastest way to learn.
You will not learn the “Why” but the “How”. Throughout the java tutorial all new lines of code are explained, the ones you have already seen aren’t commented anymore.

This site is meant to be a quick-and-dirty introduction to writing Java applets. A set of example applets are given to be used as exercises. Feel free to download the source code herein, try it out on your own machine, and modify it.

The JavaSound API adds audio capabilities to the Java platform. It’s been part of J2SE since version 1.3 and it supports the WAV, AU, and AIFF audio formats, and provides MIDI support. It doesn’t support some other audio formats, such as MP3, but it provides a flexible plugin architecture allowing any third-party vendor to add custom audio format support through the JavaSound Service Provider Interfaces (SPIs). This article deals with this plugin architecture and API, how to write and use a custom SPI implementation, how metadata such as title, artist, and copyright are exposed, and how multiple SPI implementations could be integrated in an application such as player or a game.

Director Dylan Mulick envisions A Place to Bury Strangers’ lo-fi sonic assault with an over-saturated, grainy fuzz-bomb of a video, interspersing some Smokey and the Bandit-era roadster film with live footage of the band. It’s a psychedelic roadtrip whose chopped cuts and strobe-light shutter effects manage to match the song’s intensity.

There are some really epic bands, but they are sprinkled over 3 days instead of the traditional 2, which really leaves me hard pressed to find the “winner” show date. Friday boasts such bands as Leonard Cohen, Beirut, Crystal Castles, and A Place to Bury Strangers.
