    Sounds Unlimited
    - the Imports of Being Earnest

    aaah Robin Lambert, nice enough chap - but the bane of my Rip It Up ad deadlines - invariably the last one in and with hundreds of record listings that would never be finalised until the very last minute...
    and then I'd have to go thru with the letraset© lines and scalpel and do the crossing out of the old prices - still it was nice to have a guaranteed full page ad each month... and I can't recall if it was Robin, or the guy at the Newmarket store who sent the Flying Nun NZ-only Fall Live LP, Fall in a Hole, in quantity over to the UK, which caused Mark E Smith to spit tacks and lose his rag with Chris and Roger...
    ...and where are Festival's Victor Stent and Simon B these days?

    ...don't you eat that yellow snow!
    Husky doo, er Hüsker Dü, I remember being
    on Grunt Machine even, I think!
    Bob Mould's Workbook still gets a good
    go on my old tape deck...

  • Hard News: The Wellington Declaration,

    Too right. The Sonny Bono Act all started
    with a mouse.

    then it was all downhill for Senator Sonny and ended
    with a tree ...

    ...raised some sort of whimpery snickers...

    sounds like a brand of ecclesiastical underwear...
    take it away Mr Fellini...

    Wear-a-bull art anyone?
    (I love the way that bull
    not only means
    "an uncastrated male bovine beast",
    as well as "a Papal edict"
    and also
    "stupid or untrue talk or writing; nonsense"
    English eh, ya gotta love it
    (hate to learn it though...)

    ask for directions at the McVicarage...

    the ACTApus - armless suckers?
    apparently IP address means Intellectual Property address! with the UK's new Digital Economy Bill.

  • Hard News: Misadventure and Muppetry,

    next up from Frau Paula: Investigating moving our undeserving poor to Scott Base, where winter will impartially deal with them as God intended.

    At approx $1000 a day to keep someone at Scott Base - that'll save em heaps!
    Whatever happened to just putting the elderly out on the ice, and getting them to "...go with the floe..."

    Wammo, you and Charlotte are missed from chch airwaves - thanks for your take on RDU takeover... my take is that while James and Karen may well have taken a risk in taking over the station, but
    - no one else was given a chance or even knew what was going on... still, empires have been built on less... and mushrooms grow in shit in the dark... (well that's more of a shiitake than a take...)

  • Hard News: Misadventure and Muppetry,

    I don't suppose there might be contributing
    factors in modern society, that might be
    making people sicker...
    Stress, disconnection, alienation, depression, fear...

    Society tends to treat the symptoms not the causes, and then shoots the messenger as well...

  • Hard News: Media freedom in the Pacific,

    REDACTED BECAUSE I'VE REALLY GOT TO STOP FOOLISHLY RISING TO EVERY BAITED HOOK THAT CROSSES MY PATH

    Does that mean Sacha
    is a master baiter?
    or a hooker?

    ..though RedAct would be a great name for a united Labour and ACT grouping - if such a misshapen beast could exist long enough to draw breath...

    a classic case of two rons making a riot...
    and Shirley, Lady Mondegreen, was just off screen...

    Shooting at Gerald Mc...
    nice to see Cory Doctorow, at Boing Boing,
    and Russell Brown, at PAS, on the same page...
    all hail the ACTA-vists
    and vistas beyond...
