Bricks were a band made started by Mac McCaughan, who founded Merge Records and the band Superchunk, while he was studying at Columbia University in New York City. McCaughan, along with Nashville-born singer-songwriter Laura Cantrell, Andrew Webster (later of the band Tsunami), and Josh Phillips, recorded at least 18 lo-fi songs between 1988 and 1990, which they released on a cassette and two 7" singles before disbanding. Their first single, "Girl With The Carrot Skin", was also made into a music video. Shot on super-8 film, it featured the band eating and playing with copious amounts of carrots.
Bricks' original sessions were later compiled on the 1992 CD A Microphone And A Box Of Dirt. The band reunited in 1994 and were recorded live by Bob Weston at the Black Cat in Washington, D.C. for an appearance on Simple Machines' Working Holiday! compilation album. Two new songs appeared on one of Simple Machines Working Holiday! singles that same year.
Building Resources for Integrated Cultural Knowledge Services (BRICKS) is an open-source software framework for the management of distributed digital assets. BRICKS was deployed on cultural institutions under the umbrella of the BRICKS Cultural Heritage Network, a community of cultural heritage, scientific and industrial organizations across Europe. The software itself is shared under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
The BRICKS project released the first prototype of its software framework (v0.1) in December 2005. In February 2007, the third prototype release was made available. A release was planned in July 2007. The BRICKS project work was partly funded by a research grant from the European Commission as part of the sixth of the Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development under the Information Society Technologies priority, action line “Technology. Enhanced Learning and Access to Cultural heritage.” The consortium invested an overall 12.2 million Euros in the project, including 7 million Euros from the European Commission. The funding began in January 2004 and ended in June 2007. In February 2007 the consortium announced a developer community, which had a web site through 2008. The project traveled to several conferences from 2005 through 2007, and a conference in Singapore in 2006. A final report published in September 2007 showed visitors to the web site peaked in October 2006.
