One thing that will happen if you start posting things on this wild wild web is that comments will occasionally populate, pertaining to your subject but recommending you check out their website. No real sleaze, that is kind of just how free internet marketing works. Usually these are half-hearted blog entries (you know, the things I usually write) or bait-and-switch sites selling variants of Viagra or Propecia (seriously, there are already a handful of links to this site by somebody who’s apparently a big fan of mine with a site called Buy Propecia, which is funny because I am balding).

Occasionally, something really good clogs the internet this way. I believe only yesterday a cleaned up version of my Raphael Saadiq review was posted. By this morning, somebody left a comment directing me to a video of Saadiq performing live in Paris. To my surprise, it was well worth my time, including some techniques I though were long forgotten in the internet age, like multiple steady cameras and good sound quality.

This was the work of a site called Grand Crew and it turned out to have a whole lotta videos of live Parisian performance presented in a style that I’d like to see here down the line. In addition to the aforementioned technical competency, there some nifty features. Every video I’ve investigated has multiple tracks, and often a full length show, which includes a show review and video set list, plus the ability to skip between tracks. So I’ve spent a good chunk of my morning watching Carl Craig with a live orchestra and Ratatat shredding with a neat light show. Twilight in Paris (via the internet).
