Kiss Me Where It Smells Funny

My latest musical craze is a damn funny metallish band named Bloodhound Gang. Their music really fits my taste, with a lot of heavy and fat guitars, but once you pay attention to lyrics, you cannot help but smile, then laugh, then play it again :) The band really gives the impression they're doing all this for fun, their music,…

Burn .ogg Files with Nero 7

It took me a few minutes of googling so I'm posting this as a reminder for myself and anyone who shall land here from a search engine : how to add .ogg support to Nero 7 and burn .ogg files straight to an audio CD. Download the Nero Ogg plugin here (free registration required) (hint) Put the decompressed .dll file…

Last.fm Stream Ripper

I just found about last.fm-ripper, a Perl CPAN module that saves last.fm radio streams to individual mp3's. How cool does that sound ? The readme even says that with a proper MP3::Tag module, mp3 files are saved with correct ID3 tags, which I haven't tried yet. Usage is cake easy. Once the archive untarred, you just : < View plain…

My Neighbours Rock.

I've always liked statistics and useless figures, so a service computing charts of most liked artists and tracks I'm listening to is fun. I even wish the site would keep…

Station Ripper : “Ca Déchire”

This screenshot of the "About…" splash screen is here to make French readers laugh. And they surely will, as the translation is by far the ubermost badest I've ever seen in a software, to a point that makes it pathetically funny. The whole interface of Station Ripper is more or less as gawky as you would expect from the above…
