t o n i c

Sun, Feb. 16
$8
@Tonic, 107 Norfolk Street

Devendra Banhart: Devendra's Young God Records debut is already getting raves everywhere from Mojo to the NY Observer. "Devendra Barnhart is only 21, but his eerie, wavery voice and stream-of-consciousness songs -- ''the spirit is near, all the trees are dancing, ready to burn'' goes one lyric -- reach back to the childlike surrealism of some of psychedelia's most beloved oddballs, like Marc Bolan and Syd Barrett."--NY Times

Young People: L.A. folk-prog-noise band in the great tradition of Ghost, Orthrelm, Deerhoof, Hella, etc.

Guy Blakeslee/Entrance: Communing with roads, rotating onto stages nationwide, Guy and Devendra bring their youth and transience to bear in this unique double/ equal billing. A rotating orb of scarves and stars, dropping through the ozone of Skip James/ Vashti Bunyan/ Marc Bolan to arrive and cheer the roots through and through! Special Guests in each city will vary and delight all comers, guaranteed.

Animal Collective: Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist & Deaken: Mystical shimmering sounds of the forest, organic electronics and synthetic sounds of nature.

But variables get one benefit people do not

Note the new asterisks whenever we reference favoriteNumber, except for that new line right before the return.

The most basic duality that exists with variables is how the programmer sees them in a totally different way than the computer does. When you're typing away in Project Builder, your variables are normal words smashed together, like software titles from the 80s. You deal with them on this level, moving them around and passing them back and forth.

When the machine compiles your code, however, it does a little bit of translation. At run time, the computer sees nothing but 1s and 0s, which is all the computer ever sees: a continuous string of binary numbers that it can interpret in various ways.
