Guitar Break's review of Sun Year Long</a>: <p><a href="http://senecahawk.net/post/866924092/4-stars-guitar-breaks-review-of-sun-year-long" target="_blank">senecahawk</a>:</p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>High Points</strong> – There a quite a few to savour on this album including the aforementioned <strong>Steal Your Heart Away</strong> and <strong>Hooker</strong>, however the stand out highlights for me are the tracks <strong>Restless Sea</strong> and <strong>Finding A Way Home</strong>. <strong>Restless Sea</strong> bought the album back to a more rock style after the slower paced <strong>You’re Sweet</strong>. The rough vocals, in this instance, really blended well with a harsh and forceful guitar sound. There was a nice use of backing vocals, which were not over done but effortlessly introduced providing a smooth contrast behind a tough exterior. In my opinion the track <strong>Finding A Way Home</strong> could easily be the next single with an echo sound to the guitar that wouldn’t feel out of place in any classic rock song from any era. It again takes the album on an up with a quicker pace to it than the previous 2 tracks and stands out on this album as there is no other track like it.</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.guitarbreak.com/guitar-pages.aspx?guitarpages=72" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.guitarbreak.com/guitar-pages.aspx?guitarpages=72" target="_blank">http://www.guitarbreak.com/guitar-pages.aspx?guitarpages=72</a></a></p> </blockquote>http://ankur.org/post/866927604http://ankur.org/post/866927604Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:22:35 -0700seneca hawksun year long<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5vx2sQECR1qzpu2jo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My band’s new record, Sun Year Long, came out today.

Using a regex in Ruby’s String#split function, we can split on multiple delimiters. </p> <p>In the example below, we would like to split our test_string on a period, comma and semicolon. </p> <p>» test_string = “xyz.123,457;abc”</p> <p>» test_string.split(/,|\.|;/)</p> <p>» [“xyz”, “123”, “457”, “abc”]</p> <p>Gotta love regexes.</p>http://ankur.org/post/821201894http://ankur.org/post/821201894Fri, 16 Jul 2010 16:17:00 -0700ruby<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13316608&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13316608&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /><embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13316608&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Two Years For This</p>http://ankur.org/post/813469163http://ankur.org/post/813469163Wed, 14 Jul 2010 20:06:50 -0700knicks<p>Why do English muffins take so long to toast?</p>http://ankur.org/post/806983985http://ankur.org/post/806983985Tue, 13 Jul 2010 09:25:27 -0700<p>Why are sinks so low?
