Tom Waits Redux

A couple of days ago we linked to the Tom Waits lyric dictionary that tries to explain what the hell the great man is talking about.

Well we had a few emails - many saying that it would be even more useful if there was a good lyrics site so you could understand what he was saying before actually trying to decode it.

So here it is - a full list of lyrics.

We found it by poking around the site - something that's well worth your time - there are some real hidden gems there.

Now maybe one of you TW superfans can explain the following (which I love but I have aboslutely no idea why...)

The monkey rode the blade on an overhead fan They paint the donkey blue if you pay. I got a telephone call from Istanbul - My baby's coming home today. So will you sell me one of those if I shave my head? Get me out of town is what fireball said. Never trust a man in a blue trench coat, Never drive a car when you're dead..

So What Exactly Is Web 2.0?

Everyone is talking about it, but have you heard anyone actually clearly explain what it is? Have you? Hmmm? Bueller? Anyone??

No me neither.

But Mark Smith from Sky Active (who watched me painfully struggle through trying to explain it in a meeting last week) has kindly mailed over this gem which answers a lot of questions about how the second generation internet is shaping up.

And like all things Web 2.0, asks lots more. But its well worth a read. Thanks Mark!

One From The Bin Heart

We gets lots of mail here at Sky Movies. And most of the time we try to help point people to whatever it is their hearts desire.

And then there are the ones where all we can do is point and laugh like drains. Like this one:

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT?
WHY DON'T YOU DO THE SAME THINK IN UK?
I'M SURE IT WILL BE FUN!
