It's alive!

I've been toiling this weekend to get the Deathline website up and running in some shape or form. Our friend Jo, who is doing a degree in graphics at Chelsea, took on our branding as her final degree project, and so the site needed to be live for this week's final assessment.

Go Girl!

I think it looks rather nice!

Even though there's bugger all there at the moment.

Animal Maths

Speaking of rock, on Friday evening I went out to see the rather splendidly named Animal Maths, which is the new band from the rest of my old band (we amoebically divided into two new bands at the bum end of last year).

They've got off the blocks quicker than us and entertained a biggish crowd at the tinyish Hope and Anchor on Upper Street, Islington with a taut set of songs which owed a lot to Deep Purple and Hawkwind. Yes, they've gone classic hard rock with a bit of prog! But faster and shorter songs, of course. It was very good. You can download some of the new songs from their MySpace site.

If you want to hear Electric Shocks, the old band, we still have some tracks up on the excellent Mperia. They still sound pretty OK to me.

Pretty OK

Speaking of pretty OK (see how neatly I slip from topic to topic? This kind of writing is what got me where I am today... Nowhere), I thought the conclusion to last week's setup was great, with a fantastic Ripley moment from Rose Tyler at the end and some great QUIET acting from David Tennant. I especially loved the eerie drop into the blackness of the pit.

I had been worried about this one as, like the Star Trek movies, this season of Doctor Who had been going along the lines of "odd numbered episode crap, even numbered episode fab".

Good to break that hoodoo.

"She will die in battle". Looks like my hunch from a few weeks ago is coming true...
