Svibice – 511 Vibrations Per Second MP3

I decided to participate in the Wikipedia names your band (and album cover) game which directs you through randomizing sources for your fake album cover. And them you mash them up using Photoshop, or in my case, GIMP. All fun and games until Vic required me to make the music to go along with the art. This is almost what I had in mind, download the music here: Svibice – 511 Vibrations Per Second

[The song is hyper fast, 160 BPM is fast for me, with distorted bass and waves of fuzzy guitars. Chanty cut up drone vocal.]

Converting MOV to AVI

Kim has a Kodak camera that makes movies in MOV format, with no option to save as AVI. We need AVI format video to use in Windows Movie Maker, because it WMM doesn’t like MOV (which is the default format of Apple’s Quicktime). So, after struggling with various converters that didn’t really work, I found (or re-discovered… I had used it before) MP4cam2AVI. It is free, as in Free Open Source, download from Sourceforge.
