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.
