Car Boot Sale and Market this Sunday.
Thanks for the earlier tip off about this, too, Mike.
I’m gonna take some of my silverfish treats along for the afternoon to see if I can find new homes for them…

The 20K is listed as international promotion on the NZOA website, so if radio plugging was where the money went that would be for offshore radio activities, i.e. where NZOA didn't have pluggers

Russell Brown

There may be others, but it is fairly public knowledge…

Indeed. The radio plugging grant seemed unusual, given that NZoA have long employed their own pluggers, but perhaps I'm missing something.

NZ On Air
Avalanche City (or people acting on their behalf) received funding from NZ On Air:

October 2013 – up to $10,000

(though this may be post-Coleman)

February 2012 – up to $10,000

March 2011 – video grant $??

I'm sure you're right about the mis-naming. I should have assumed as much, but I'd had most of the bottle at that stage.

Russell Brown

The precis doesn't really suffice. The whole doc is worth a read.

It really is. When I get a moment, I'll ask RNZ about the radio plugging grant.

wailing bongo rings a bell
and
yeah thats the Wailing Bongo at Waikato

We have consensus reality!
I'll readjust my receptors accordingly...
…and I note a piece of Letraset© tone screen over the tape deck…
Remnants, artifacts, of now arcane technologies…

… also a cracker lyric or band…

"Another payment of $20,000 was received by the defendants from Radio New Zealand and was on-paid to the defendants. The defendants claim this was income and therefore a commission of $4,000 should have been deducted by the defendants, but was not and is therefore owed to them…I accept Mrs Parson’s…

...can’t remember
Me neither with 100% confidence, but the bits that stack up and resonate still scream Gluepot to my atrophying neurons...
The proportions, layout/aspect and scale trigger all my gluey Gluepot ganglions:
the silly wooden cage over the stage; the slats at the back; the slightly raised side strips…

shows Doug setting up in the Gluepot (I think).

Not 100% sure it's the Gluepot as the old place had carpet up to near the front as I recall, plus there is a stairway on the back right. Did the Gluepot have that? Somebody reckoned it was in New Plymouth,…

and the third photo – by an unknown photographer – I’m thinking Murray Cammick, Kerry Brown, Jonathan Ganley or maybe even William West shows Doug setting up in the Gluepot (I think).

I never think of the Gluepot as being that clean...

So much dodgy in TheSpinoff's expose today of the High Court case between Avalanche City's David baxter and Matt Coleman from Let The People Speak. And the full judgement should be a 101 for artists and managers, But this paricrlar paragraph, number 267 was just weird:

"Another payment of $20,000…

Though there are two photo references to it, Andrew Schmidt’s piece on Doug for Audioculture doesn’t seem to specifically mention the the 1984 Looney Tour – the above RIU ad*, by Chris Knox, shows just how extensive that tour was.

The second picture shows the newspaper ads for the Windsor…

I’ve vague memories of Doug Hood’s name being in the press late 90’s in the articles that used to accompany the Big Day Out. Don’t want to sound old but the early tours were great – things were less ‘robust’ I guess then, as I can recall me and some…

I have one nit to pick with the Audioculture article … The Enemy certainly played at the Cook back then – they were excellent, soooo much manic energy, the early Toy Love were a bit of a let down
