Pink Panther 2
And this is total crap. I'd thought the first remake had at least some laugh out loud moments. This one is so forced at its humour that at the most, it can elicit one giggle? Or not. The jokes (all slapstick) are really bottom-barrel and displays not much invention, and I suppose amateur clowns in the circus can come up with better routines than this. Dear God, I hope they're not remaking a third one. Can we resurrect Sellers now?
Radiohead : In Rainbows From the Basement
Basically the ITunes podcast on DVD. It's a line of Nigel Goodrich's series of live performances without an audience. This one's shot at the Hospital Studio in Covent Garden. As I've said before, I didn't like the "In Rainbows" album that much. But it is quite a soothing album, and live, with minimal instruments, it is even more soothing. I do hear some overdubs on "Nude". Otherwise, pretty good performance.
Suicide : Live at La Loco, Paris 2005
Is this a reunion or something? I only have their first two albums. Did they record more? The show is pretty minimalist, just a keyboard, a looping machine and a mic. The first album's songs are different here, using different loops. And I've noticed Alan Vega is a terrible singer. Martin Rev just pumps each song with discordant, jarring honks from the keyboard. And the last song is even Techno. Enjoyable, but only just.
