Hi Geoff
I will be at the do on Friday night, staying over for The Civic tour on Saturday.
Hope your still around when I get there, I'll be late 10.30ish I hope.
Keeping myself off the starvation/gun wielding revolutionary line. -
It's hard to avoid the conclusion that this is a big fat patsy, generating outrage so that whatever the Tax Working Group report suggests will look moderate and sensible by comparison.
Yes that conclusion virtually leapt off the TV screen at me, as I listened to first Don then Bill.
And a side note to the gentlemanly Geoff Lealand I will get around to a decrypted version of my comments on the SPADA Media 7 if I bump into you over the festive season.
Sheez what am I doing still awake at this hour. I curse the afterwork wind down and the muggy weather. Not reelly. -
(My apologies up front, theTVNZ7 site doesnt seem very user friendly.)
And here's last night's Media7
There's a lot to discuss around that.
Including what seem's to be an outbreak of butheadism.
As in " I normally don't like this kind of programme but...."
I exclude the interviewer from this.
And why wasn't that Chair electrified and the producer sitting in it.
Or at the very least taken her $20mill and gone away.However this thread is about giving some (IMO) talented people a boost.
I wish you all well. -
Psychedelic Furs at Sweetwaters.
Damn those old JBL long throw horns were efficient.
Even outside they could make a voice sound LOUD.His Majesty's
You're done it now.
Sob, sniffle, whahhh -
a concert isn't like the CD at home which you turn down to talk over, and the sound is never going to be as pristine as that shiny disc
Turn it Down?... Talk Over it? Sacrilege.
Concert sound should never sound like a record, its a live performance.
Tho' David Bowie Western Springs 1978, was the best imitation of a very fucking big and damn impressive record player I've ever heard.
And I enjoyed every moment of it. -
But even though it's the kind of contrived television I would have to be tortured to watch, I quite like the fact that it's a Treaty-savvy reality show and does actually seem to explore ideas of cultural belonging.
Im probably alone in this, what the hey.
Cultural belonging Im not really sure what you mean by this, and I'm not being a wisearse.
But this is the kind of idea that I would like to see explored in a more high brow type of programme. By trying to popularise, what are really important considerations and worthy of in depth treatment, a delaying effect comes into play.
Issues arent dealt with, cultural sore points can fester.And, on a personal viewing note, all those pregnant silences filled with cheesy suspense music and a million close ups, are the basest form of television. It's time we lifted our sights.
Listening gatekeepers........Oh why bother!

I'm not counting on National doing anything beyond ensuring adequate application of lubricant prior to bowing before the might of the entertainment lobby.
There isn't any room up Labour's arse for more corporate cock -Is there a political equivalent of DP?
Could this be it. -
. Dear Mr Prime Minister: Do you want an educated population or an entertained one?
I thought he wanted one that hung on his every word.
Oh no thats the pope, Same diff. -
It's almost home time, enough with the subtle. That took my brain like 10 clicks to figure out!
Good job our trackydax friend from Nelson is out walking his....VBMC

working for charity in a way that wasn't part of some 'image rehabilitation' strategy cooked up by a publicist or political spin doctor.
I can think of many people who would benefit from anonymous rehabilitation. And no, not DJ's.
on the balcony in Tabac trying to prove me wrong. I wasn't offended, I just thought he was a Very Big Male Chicken,
Funny I was out late one night in town and I saw a VBMC, and I thought it was the drugs.
