New Videos from Niente Peaches and LCD Soundsystem

Last weekend my friends and I crammed ourselves into a room for seven hours and worked on the Charlie Christ movie. We got a lot of work done, a lot of planning done, and we also got some video podcasts filmed. Expect to see them up on the NientePeaches website in the very near future.

What we managed to do later that day was film a performance of Amazing Grace played on an iPad. There’s an entire post up on Niente’s site. Check it out here.

For now enjoy the new video from LCD Soundsystem’s upcoming LP, This is Happening. The single is Drunk Girls and the video is strange and awesome. Have a look.

Rebranding

I started this blog without direction. I hoped that as I wrote entries and grew I would be able to hone the scope of what I post. I don’t think I’ve narrowed what I will or won’t post, but I do think I have come up with a solution that better encapsulates what I post.

My solution is a simple rebranding. No more will you see the bland and unimaginitive title of “Harry Wolff” adorning the top of each page – Its static letters haunting you from post to post, from page to page, and from link to link. The horrors that you had previously faced are gone.

May I introduce you to the new title of my website: Probably Harry. A site that isn’t always about me, but usually – and probably – is.

Looking forward to some good times everyone. :)

A Friendly Friday Blog Update

The latest incarnation of my blogging career, this blog you’re reading right now, was started on January 23rd this year. By my count that’s a little over two months of blogging with a grand total of 23 posts written so far.

I’m having fun.

The past times that I have attempted to blog I didn’t last very long. I think a few may have been online and accessible for over three-months but the frequency of posts were nowhere near as consistent. Not only that: my enthusiasm hasn’t waned and I am enjoying finding topics to discuss. Having somewhere to output my overflowing thoughts keeps me productive and sane. It hurts trying to remember everything.

New Design, Same Direction

In case you haven’t noticed I am now using a new design. I changed it this afternoon but I haven’t had a chance to gab about it until now.

This new theme is called blog.txt and is the hard work of a fellow named Scott. Thanks Scott for your work!

I hope this design makes for easier reading. I also hope this design encourages me to make more unique pages instead of just updates.

Whatever the case may be, I hope your Thursday is sunny and cheery. I just love sunlight. :)

Music Tuesday

I had a very snowy Tuesday morning. After going to bed at an unusually early hour I woke up at two odd intervals during my sleep. First time was at 2am when I have the barest memory of making myself a piece of bread and butter. Second time was at 8am and resulted in an hour spent reading about web2py.

After I woke up and started my day I began scouring through music blogs in hopes of finding a new sound to start the snowy day. Thanks to the keen ears of Aurgasm I was greeted to the breezy, mellow tunes of Nicole Simone.

I was hoping to update and post her music earlier today but I didn’t have time. In any case, her sounds will lull you into the night. Her EP comes out later this year.

Also: I found a web app that lets you type in the name of an artist and their song. It then computes the tempo of the song and graphs any deviations in BPM. This gets you a pretty good guess if the song’s beat was made by a drummer or a machine. It’s called In Search of the Click Track and I think it’s awesome.
