Before I went on holiday I decided to make a playlist on Spotify with some all-time classics and with songs by bands I meant to check out for a while but never got around to do so. One of those bands was Spiritual Cramp, which I got tipped off to after Mike posted about their LP from last year. Seeing that Marcus co-signed on the record, this band seemed worth checking out. Mike mentioned the song ‘Talking on the Internet’, so that was the song I picked. And what can I say, I was hooked from the first listen. After listening to the playlist a few times, I ordered a copy of the band’s s.t. debut LP right away.
‘Talking on the Internet’ is a such goddamn hit. So catchy. It even made the very elusive list of songs I could see myself using if I ever was going to film a skateboard part. Don't get your hopes up though, I haven't really skated in 15+ years and even at the best of times I was extremely bad and in now way, shape or form could I have filmed a 3 minute or so part that other people would have liked to watch too. BUT if I were good enough to do that, that song would make such a great choice. In my head I already know how I'd edit that part, as in where would the single tricks go, where would be a good place for a line and which effects could be used. Not that I could do that either from a technical stand point, but it's nice to have dreams, isn't it?
It’s not just the one song though, the whole album is incredible from start to finish. So much fun to listen to.

I really liked that song 'talking on the internet' but that was as far as I got. They played London in August and I was going to go, but then forgot about it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, just to let you know, I'm going to start asking you on a regular basis how the skate video part is coming along...
I guess I set myself up for that. But I’m afraid the answer won’t go far beyond ‘Well, the good news is, I already picked out a couple of songs I could imagine using in the video.’
DeleteThis is great! Yeah, the whole album is such a fun listen. I've listened to it a lot, and those songs still get me hyped. And while I know nothing about skateboarding, listening to that song, I can totally visualize the video in my head.
