One of the most frustrating things about working with MS’s Composite UI Application Block or CAB has been the inability to use the search function over at the GotDotNet forums.
Well, opensource to the rescue….
A gracious user just started a Wiki for the Composite UI Application Block over at http://cabpedia.com.
Hopefully this post will help spread the word about the new site so more users can contribute
WorkPlay is the place.
Saturday @ 9 is the time.
$8 is the price (in advance). The Ugli Stick is the band.
It’s the CD release show for The Ugil Stick’s latest album “Nostoi”. Opening acts are Jackons NLA and Diesel.
I’m really pumped about this album. It really shows how the band has narrowed it’s focus and defined their sound. I think their website said it best:
…Recorded at the legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals and produced by Jimmy Nutt, who has worked with the Drive-by Truckers and Jimmy Buffett, this 13-song CD is THE best The Ugli Stick has ever sounded!
Phenominal musicians Daivd Hood (”The Swampers”), Bob Wray (Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, Kris Kristofferson and more) and Larry Byrom (Steppenwolf, Neil Young, The Eagles and more) join the band on numerous tracks. Plus two-time Grammy winner Alan Schulman (Ricky Skaggs, Jimmy Buffett and more) helped Jimmy Nutt with some of the final mixing! The resulting CD is absolutely amazing! What does it sound like? Nothing you’ve heard before!
The guys will also be doing an acoustic instore performace at Sam Goody in the Galleria @ 2PM on Saturday where you can pre-purchase the album before it’s street date of Tuesday August 8th.
Below are a couple of tracks from the album that I got a few weeks back. Note: None of these tracks have gone through final mixing or engineering, so they may be different on the CD. Also keep in mind that my site can’t seem to serve up the mp3’s fast enough right now, so you may need to pause it to let it buffer.
I can’t exactly explain why I like this guy’s music. I mean, I normally don’t like dance/DJ Mixes, etc. (except for Funker Vogt) but holy crap this guy is just freaking retarded…
Imagine every song you heard at the Skate Rink growing up mixed with modern day Hip-Hop and everything from the Talking Heads to Smashing Pumpkins thrown in for good measure.
ohh, what could it be…
Eire…. That aint one of them ‘merican stamps that’s for sure!
Uh oh, looks like the envelope is ripped, I hope nothing fell out…
Ohhhh a post card… In an envelope? With some type of magnet? and a hanger thingy?
Sweet! A vintage Guinness metal postcard type thingy straight from Ireland!
