I was here for a moment, then I was gone


**********************

Het is allemaal de schuld van Explosions in the Sky dat ik mij meer en meer interesseer in post-rock/instrumental/math-rock, but then again whatsinaname? Nee, het enige concert dat ik op Pukkelpop volledig heb kunnen meepikken was dat van EITS & they were awesome + mindblowing… Zodus gingen we wat op zoek naar nog wat bands in dat genre, Mogwai is natuurlijk ook een topper – maar ik wou iets anders… Tot ik viavia op bandcamp.com terecht kwam, prachtig muziekaanbod van bands die hun muziek gratis/nameyourprice/lowprice aanbieden… Musicindustry as it should be!

Anyway – Maybeshewill heeft hun laatste cd “I was here for a moment, then I was gone” dit jaar nog uitgebracht & het is opmerkelijk zachter dan hun vorige album “Not for want of trying +4″ waar nog overduidelijk het metal-gedeelte naar buiten kwam. Nonetheless is het echt een pareltje waar ik direct zoiets bij had van “wauw”! Just sit back & relax!

BTW Maybeshewill passeert België op 27 Oktober in Magasin4 in Bxl & op 28 Oktober in de Carpe Diem in Hasselt (hebben blijkbaar geen site, enige dat ik ervan terugvind is dat tickets 8€ kosten) – toch eens over nadenken…

[GUIDE] Kakewalking Lion OSX

With this guide I’ve managed to run a clean install of Lion onto a new Hackintosh build. No Snow Leopard and no optical media required. The original guide can be found at TonyMacX86 forums. I’ve added some info here & there & keeping it here for my own backup (in case something went very wrong in the future)

**************************************************************************
First of all;

My Newly Build Rig:
CPU: Intel Core i7 2600K
Mobo: Gigabyte Z68X-UD4-B3 (Bios F7)
GPU: Gigabyte HD 6870 OC
RAM: 8Gb Kingston DDR3 (= CL9, CL8 RAM is better) (for this install, please only insert 4Gb RAM, you can add more after the install)
PSU: Corsair TXV2 650W
SSD: OCZ Vertex 3 120Gb (for install purpose I only attached this SSD, no other SSD/HDD attached)
CASE: Fractal Design Define XL Black Pearl

What you need to complete this guide succesfully;
* More or less the same specs as me…
* Empty USB stick – I used one of 8Gb (doesn’t need to be preformatted to HFS+, but it’s never useless to do so)
* Working Mac (from you/friend – used for kakewalking & to download Lion via the AppStore on your AppleID)
* Kakewalk ~ You’ll find that here
* MultiBeast 3.8 ~ you’ll need to register for that one @ TonyMacx86
* Your Mobo’s DSDT ~ make sure you’ll have this first, you can find DSDTs also @ TonyMacx86
* Patience young padawan! If at first you don’t succeed, try again… This was my 16th attempt at Hackintoshing… :)

*skipped the fluff of the original guide ~ basicly saying how stupid it was to first install SnowLeopard to get to Lion*

Do you have a similar build – read on! I don’t know how other mobo’s will react on the kexts that will be used later on in this guide, so if you’re using anything else than my specs – proceed at your own risk… Other Gigabyte Z68X Mobo’s should be fine though…

Bright Eyes – Ladder Song

Stuck on repeat at the 9th track of their latest cd The People’s Key
BTW this is an unofficial fanmade musicvideo…
Deze live-versie is anders ook wel dik in orde… Op Werchter was hij schitterend, maar zou hem toch nog eens graag in een wat kleinere setting zien optreden…
