This has been for sale in Grey Lynn for a while now with no takers. Unfortunately it has pre-USB SCSI or parallel connections, which could require somewhat advanced computer smarts. From memory, if it’s still working as claimed a mid 90s Mac should happily drive it. Apart from it lacking…

That’s a sweet little track.

Is LA the new Grey Lynn? Seems like all the cool kids are re-locating and honing their craft, or something.

Chelsea Jade has just explained the track's provenance on her mailing list:

i've been kicking around los angeles for about six months now.

Said Mr Parish has recently produced an artist I hadn't heard of before, another Mali export Rokia Traoré. She sings mostly in French and her native Bamana. Here's Tu Vole (You Fly)

A3 printer/scanner

we have an up-to-A3 printer/scanner bought three months ago that you can use if wanted.
Thanks Hebe, but it needs to be in Auckland, I was just collating the material to be scanned for the Auckland publishers...

That was my rent in 1979
aaah yes, I forgot how inflation took…

Important Correction:
The contact re 'Knoxiana' and scanners should be to
kyle@beatnikpublishing.com

My error, 1,000 apologies.
– could this be changed in the main story asap,
perhaps another moderator could do this if Russell is away.

Anyone know for sure? How many were in the JOAS series BTW? I still have a solitary copy of #3.

I believe there were 4 total issues of Jesus on a Stick, but not positive. Last issue I have is #4. I have #1, #3 and #4 if scans are…

Actually even an A3 scanner

Ian we have an up-to-A3 printer/scanner bought three months ago that you can use if wanted. Dunno much about it: I can email you the specs if you are good at wrangling them. (I haven't used it for much yet and maybe only a couple…

In the mean time, I’m off to see Avoid Avoid at the Whammy Backroom, if I can stay awake long enough.

Good for you. I need to see Avoid Avoid.

New Chelsea Jade! I’m not sure whether it was recorded in New Zealand or in her new base in LA.

That's a sweet little track.

It's almost inevitable that Anthonie…

Here he is with Terence Hogan – making their way back to the motel in Ferry Road, Christchurch during a Toy Love tour ...

I remember starting many nights with Mr D, but not always the end...

Hundreds of Auckland musicians appeared at the Alhambra, … including Larry Morris
Who you can catch live at the Grey Lynn RSC in Francis Street tonight (friday the 13th) if you have a friend who is a member.

I loved the illusion of the Alhambra, and its transition from Three…

Paul Sutherland (in Into the Void in his spare time) may know how to access an A3 scanner. I think he's behind the Christchurch City Libraries music poster collection which no doubt has involved a fair amount of scanning. Mostly Chch band posters from Gladstone, Star and Garter…

even an A3 scanner would help

Those are pricey, but I got an A3 MFD from Officeworks for under $300 a few years ago. I assume functions other than scanning work, but I bought it as part of my "rip and scan all my CDs" project and it works well…

Surely any CK will have to feature the cover art from Fall in a Hole?! Talking of which, 'Happy Fall guitarist' Marc Riley, in his dulcet Salford tones, has interviewed (second time in a year) Lyttelton songstress Aldous Harding – who is BTW recording her second album with…

any readers who have unique pieces of Knox artwork or paraphernalia that could be included in the book

I just spotted a reference to Jesus On A Stick Sedgewick – Teddy X on a Stick on a site called Bored In A Record Shop. At the time (2014)…

Grafix Knox scanning
They’d also be interested in hearing from anyone who can offer access to an A2 scanner.

Actually even an A3 scanner (or SRA3) would help them in their digitising endeavours immensely (they're currently doing Herculean work with an A4 scanner and a stitch program – very time…

We did get Charlie Brooker's excellent Black Mirror series on Sky with its magical premonition of Prime Minister Pig-Fucker, but that's pretty much it. British tele is still the least worst in the world and it's a pity we don't see more of it here.

While I have some excellent…

God I love her. She and Charlie Brooker haven't really made it to the telly here for some reason. Too pommy possibly? Thank Jeebus for the internet.

Best of luck to all concerned with Opportunity Knox. It's yeoman work and needs to be done.

Ladies and gentlemen… please excuse the diversion but in the spirit of Friday posts, I commend to you one Philomena Cunk, an extremely funny woman. There are five embedded videos on this Guardian page and they’re all worth watching.

Enjoy!

Also just up on AudioCulture, this seems timely.

Ian showed me all the original drawings for these last week when I visited him and Chris.
