Sinister: good music, good sites
Hello again!Remember me? So, yeah. I have just peeled myself off the sofa after watching Jools Holland. I had decided not to watch his show because it makes me depressed as it features GRRRRRRREAT bands that I want to see but I can't or have seen and want to see again and again and again and again...you get my point. BUT, as I was flicking after watching BBC24-that boring...sigh- he was talking to Patti Smith and I couldn't resist. She's amazing methinks;I had the pleasure of seeing her live a few years ago and she was fantastic. Anyhow back to Live with Jools Holland, she then went on to perform Dancing Barefoot, a great song which it is lucky to have been covered very nicely indeed by U2 methinks again. But the unexpected was a song by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion -no bass, but piano by Holland...and there I was thinking shit-shit-shit-my-stupid-money-problems-£123-overdrawn-stupid-Zoe-ARGH!(I'm sure this isn't making any sense...)What I'm trying to say is that Mr. Spencer swung his sexy hips and boogie-woogied like hell doing all the rockabilly moves that I'm sure he practices in front of a mirror ,that had him on Mr. Holland's piano doing the all-time-r'n'r move of being on his knees while his guitar was masterfully abused and I was wishing I HAD gone to THAT gig in Athens in 1997 and then THAT gig in Manchester in 2002. Still, life is great. I will definitely miss Jools Holland in summer-unless he's not on which then makes it ok. OH! I want to tell you now about this ...thing I discovered-even though I am sure that quite of you will know about. OK, here goes. There is this web-design company called hi-res!- www.hi-res.net- that has made , amongst others, sites for films like Requiem for a Dream and The Business of Strangers and is responsible for Playstation 2. These guys do amazing stuff that have you gripped on your desk. They, also, have an experimental site called Soulbath- www.soulbath.com - which is MY FAVOURITE SITE EVER! In summer 2000, and as I was enjoying the then newly discovered fun of surfing the net I somehow ended up in soulbath. I never bookmarked and then I came back to the UK and then had my pc shipped over but it came broken and lalalala..the point is I had forgotten the address. So the other day my neighbour tells me about a way cool site of a film called Donnie Darko- www.donniedarko.com - which I visited and then went on to enter the site of the designers and lo and behold it was them! I know this is a confusing story but I was so happy. In soulbath apart from various installations they have that thing where you can use your keyboard to make music there and then. But you have to explore the place really well. It's got more stuff than you think. I suggest it. OK. I won't go on more. I just really wanted to share these really cool stuff.
