FUCK "THE GUEST TOWELS"

This might not even be needed considering this band is way below mediocre and won't even make much of a difference because they are shit. BUT, tonight a bunch of dear friends of ours performed a Ramones cover set in the spirit of rad punk and halloween only to be fucked over by these bunch of dicks...Not only did our friends lend these dudes amps, but were super supportive and nice to these guys. Later on in the evening our friend Russell noticed that his custom telecaster and fender jazz bass were missing. We assumed that someone might have taken them by accident. I called the singer Victor of The Guest Towels to ask about the situation and he got really defensive and kind of scared. We were obviously weird-ed out. They show up back at the show not only with a trunk full of their own equipment (so obviously they had their own shit so nothing could have been mixed up) but they also had Russell's TWO guitars along with them.

These dudes didn't even try for the most part to deny their wrong doings and mostly felt embarrassed and scared because there was a show full of people backing Russell (who by the way is one of the nicest and most respectable dudes in the music scene right now). All in all these kids are horrible, equipment stealing scumbags and no one in the Brooklyn/NYC/Long Island music scene or ANYWHERE for that matter should book this band.

Don't let scumbags ruin a good thing. Punk/Hardcore has always been about a mutual trust between people, especially with sharing gear, I know that I personally never have a problem lending out shit when a band is in need, but this just makes shit more complicated and lame.

Fuck this band, and do NOT book them. here is their myspace link http://www.myspace.com/redautomatic - This was their old name but they have since changed it to The Guest Towels. Please be aware that these dudes are only out for themselves and will fuck you over in a heartbeat because we experienced this first hand tonight.

It pains me to say this because their drummer Billy is a terrific kid (and a fantastic drummer) and has nothing to do with this mess but some shit can not go unsaid. Victor and the other red-headed fuck in this band on the other hand can go fuck themselves.

I hope you fucking rot.

8 Things you should not be afraid of as a Developer

Change In Software Development there is no such thing as stagnancy. Everything you develop now is just another version of a component that will probably change in the future. Change is the most common thing in Software Development, and you're better of accepting it as a fact. Expect future changes to everything you develop, and therefor design your Code more modular. This makes changes more easy and increases the Quality at the same time. Adapt the concepts of DRY and YAGNI . You will often come to the Situation, where you look at your Code and imagine that you could have done that "better". Don't let this thought prevent you from sleeping. Take action immediately and Refactor ! If you don't do it now, you will probably never do it. The longer you wait, the harder and more costly it gets. And you slowly grow up a mess you cant deal with anymore. "Good code is code that is easy to change. Code tends to change until it is no longer easy to change. All code bec...

So we just got back from a little Canadian weekend with Thee Oh Sees. We had a blast. There is a lot going on in our world at the moment so we've been a bit busy - sorry for the lack of updates here. We have a whole bunch of upcoming shows, check out the shows section to your right - these include shows with SEX CHURCH, a mini-tour with PYGMY SHREWS, a couple of shows with RUSSIAN CIRCLES, and a little European tour in December. If any of you euros cant make it to see us in December, we will be back in January for a little over a month, and we are very excited. We have a new LP done, it will be out in March on Sacred Bones Records and much touring in support of it shall follow. We have also been informed that Karmic Swamp Records is repressing the "Think" 7" that came out last year. There were only a handful of those pressed so hopefully people that missed out on getting them can grab one now. We will post here when it is available. Also, thanks to everyone who has o...

Why REST is so important

Image
This post is dedicated to REST, an architectural style of shaping webservices and the most misunderstood concept in the history of IT. This post is addressed to you who is designing webservice apis not being fully aware what REST actually means. I'm trying to give you the idea. This post is also addressed to you who think to know what REST means, when in reality you have no clue, just yet. Yes i have met such people in the past - plenty of them. It's not going into the details of the Richardson Maturity Model , and it's not gonna make you a REST expert. There are plenty of guides on the web for that: slides, youtube videos, blogposts, books and more. Rather than going into the details, i'm going to link some good resources at the end of this post. So lets start with The meaning of REST Representational State Transfer. This sentence is not only what REST stands for, it is also the tiniest possible description of what REST actually means. Didn't get it? Read it aga...
