Now i know it is hosted at Dreamhost, so it can be quite slow. Out of curiosity i checked scrittipolitti.co.uk, which used to be the old domain when Anomie & Bonhomie was released. For a couple of years there was a redirect and some domainfarmer had hijacked it. However, now there was just the simple message Directory Listing Denied, which means the site is up and running, but there is no index file to display.

This made me curious so i did a short whois check on the domain. The following came up:

Domain name:
scrittipolitti.co.uk

Registrant:
G Gartside

Registrant type:
UK Individual

Registrant’s address:
The registrant is a non-trading individual who has opted to have their
address omitted from the WHOIS service.

Registrant’s agent:
Fasthosts Internet Ltd [Tag = FASTHOSTS]
URL: http://www.fasthosts.co.uk

Relevant dates:
Registered on: 03-May-2007
Renewal date: 03-May-2009
Last updated: 04-May-2007

Registration status:
Registration request being processed.

Name servers:
ns1.livedns.co.uk
ns2.livedns.co.uk

WHOIS lookup made at 19:47:22 30-May-2007

Quite clever to have his address not shown in the query – didn’t actually know this was possible, should look into that myself to be honest. The registration date of May 3 is still very recent, and it does say the request is still being processed.

Anyways… this might point to the fact a website will be live one time in the future! Over the past year Green repeatedly mentioned in interviews a website was in the making, but that he wasn’t happy with it yet. On the other hand… it could mean no such thing at all … Whatever the case, i couldn’t resist posting about it, felt like a real detective out there snooping around. And i do hope there will be a proper Scritti website soon. Even though i feel we at bibbly-o-tek are a pretty good alternative in the meantime!

Probably most of you have noticed that bibbly-o-tek has been slow or either totally invisible lately. Too bad!

It seems that our hosting party is having difficulties. At the moment we don’t have confirmation about the real issues causing this trouble.

We hope that things will be up and running again very soon.

Please stick with us, we will keep you updated, no matter what. And thank you all for the support. Your comments and emails have helped us a lot and we feel connected.

Improved! bibbly-o-tek! http://bibbly-o-tek.com/2006/07/31/new-improved-bibbly-o-tek/ http://bibbly-o-tek.com/2006/07/31/new-improved-bibbly-o-tek/#comments Mon, 31 Jul 2006 20:57:47 +0000 Ellen http://bibbly-o-tek.com/2006/07/31/new-improved-bibbly-o-tek/ A realign (realign?) on bibbly-o-tek’s homepage and the section at the bottom. We wanted more posts, which was difficult in the side by side layout of old. We now have room for a more traditional sidebar for all sorts of fun things as well. Hope you like it!

You can order the CD of White Bread, Black Beer and the Boom Boom Bap CD-single straight away. And by doing so you’re helping both Scritti and the bibbly-o-tek team. We’re trying to build the best Scritti source we can imagine. This takes times and money. So if you’re considering buying the new Scritti Politti album online please consider using the shop-o-tek.

Please go ahead: shop-o-tek is here!

Any suggestions about this are very welcome of course!

Update: We’ve just added a new affiliate partner, eil.com, who sells White Bread, Black Beer on VINYL!

The Video section now has the sub pages Gigs, Interviews and Music Video. Sofar we’ve put up two interviews from the Anomie & Bonhomie time, the video’s for Absolute, Hypnotize, The Word Girl, Perfect Way and Woodbeez (UK and US version). And of course all the material we already had from this years gigs!

Well, as complete as it can get anyway. Hours of searching the internet unearthed gigs, venues, lineups. It’s harder to get setlists right, and I’m very much in doubt that information will ever be available. I suspect there are a lot more gigs in the early days. I know of one in Hal 4, Rotterdam somewhere in 1979 or 1980, but i gotta go to the attic (the real one at the top of my appartment) to search for the right date.

The list isn’t not Explorer foolproof yet! Gotta work on that, but it has to wait till i have access to a pc with IE on it.

If you have any information on any gigs anytime, it would be great if you would share it!

Today I claimed our blog bibbly-o-tek so Technorati can start indexing blogs which link to us. I also added a technorati.com/tag/scrittipolitti link to the ‘Scritti Resources’.
