A day in the life of Benny Dacks
I’d like to give our fans a quick insight into what it’s like to follow me around for a day.
I recently revived this Apple iBook with a dirty hack that I like to call the Hackintosh – HotWire Edition. The power button was broken when I received it. It’s previous owner had broken the plug for the power button clean off the motherboard. This left two insanely close, bare contacts. Here are a few shots of the process.
Here is the 'new' one and my old iBook G3 it's replacing.
A random piece of metal I decided to exclude from the rebuild process.
hmm... Heat shield maybe?
This ladies and gentlemen is how true geeks start their computers.
Here is a time-lapse video of the new Hackintosh:HWE in action!
After a long day of ripping apart laptops and eating soup, I’ll head to our studio to lay down some bass. We have some really cool gear at our disposal.
I love this amp. It belongs to our rehearsal studio.
Lyrics for Absolute Zero
I know, I know! I just really feel like putting some lyrics down somewhere. That way we don’t have to see the wrong version somewhere on LYRICS.COM or whatever. This is one a favorite because of the concept of absolute zero, and how time is frozen. [watch the video!]
ABSOLUTE ZERO
I’m looking for the guidance
A rock to stand upon
I’m out here in the cold and lightning
Waiting for the dawn
How could I ignore the
Signs she’s showing me?
I’m choking back a spoiled spoon of
My own philosophy
—I fear this city gets me
Another passing head
But I wont have this make me angry
You’d rather see me dead—
Don’t forget, love
You cannot forget
This lovely box of
Petrified regrets
I won’t forget, love
The time we made into our own
It stopped the earth
And even though it was
ABSOLUTE ZERO
I could see the hurt
The future had a future
Until I saw the day
The sun it faded bluer
And froze up everything
I’m memorizing alleys
So we can save the time
The water floods the valleys
I just can’t call her mine
—Nikki, listen to me
You have got a spot
To never let you in again, truly
I would rather rot—
Don’t forget, love
You cannot forget
This lovely box of
Petrified regrets
I won’t forget, love
The time we made into our own
It stopped the earth
And even though it was
ABSOLUTE ZERO
I could see the hurt
She circles me with questions
Its time and time again
Her cosmic destination
But I wont let her in
