the man with the pink cadillac

That'd be this thing: Toy Love at Albert Park, 1979 – Photo By Sara Leigh Lewis. Might even be the nervous owner with his back to the camera, though if you park right in front of the stage people will dance on your pride…

Anyway serious stuff going on abuse of power and privilege.
got rid of monarchs and priests only to have politicians and business(persons) take their place
Why do we allow this to happen?

But Gin Wigmore? That was funny as hell.

I didn’t see much of the live show, but I did see this. It’s the closest we’ll ever come to a Kanye/Swift moment, and I fuckin’ loved it.

Maybe the cringes missed this interview from a while back?

Back in the day I used to get a table halfway up the room with the commercial radio people. As Duncan put it on The Spinoff:

I was demoted from the front table last year next to Lorde's to one 3/4 of the way back. Clearly one needs to open…

did they? Not how I remember it.

To be fair, that’s pretty much as I recall it. They drew a line in the sand that most of the covers bands at Zwines (and they all were at that stage) hadn’t even figured out existed before.

That first Enemy gig in…

A performance at a Snakestudio bash was one highlight I remember.

1980. That was Toy Love, The Enemy were history by the time of that event. Chris even cut himself, which I guess was a bonus, though Alec had to take a little break when he mistook a stray drop…

you can see why they terrified all the local punkers when they hit Auckland:

From today’s Darcy Clay tribute/95bFM party at Real Groovy. Buzz from Voom (‘Joelene’), Mikey Havoc (‘Jesus I was Evil’) and Emily Littler (an amazing version of ‘All I Gotta Do’ that made me so happy).

This was really fun and lovely.

Meanwhile at the Spinoff, they have VNZMA reviewers who are smart and funny and can write.

Stuff has a weird, pissy review of the VNZMA coverage. Some of it is warranted, but it’s always going to be difficult broadcasting a stage show live to air. (I’ve been at awards that have been staged according to the needs of TV and they’re tedious.)

Some of it is…

My Friday five cents...I love "All I Gotta Do". I reckon it was Darcy Clay's best. All kinds of depth and emotional complexity bubbling away under the surface of deceptively simple stonking rock song. One of my all time favourites.

I've been thinking this myself. 'Jesus I Was Evil' will…

The Enemy sound very much like the Stooges here. Also Craig Robertson has a great theory about Dunedin 'Enemy-to-The Clean' era and that venerated local craft store Maud's Fabric Barn – but I'd have to let him tell it.

Yeah it was cool to hear their reactions, they came across superbly.

Awkward yeah, made for some entertaining live TV, the Wigmore/ Moa bird off, Dominic Bowden talking over the haka, Michael “Harry” Harallambi’s “cocksucker”, all quite memorable.

It looked like one hell of a party, I’ve never seen any NZ awards on that scale. Huge.

There were a few awkward bits, but the production was amazing. I thought it worked really well for Broods – made me see them in a new light.
