I've frequently danced within the 2m radius of a 18k wall of sound where no others would go because it would give them the same kind of hearing loss as me. Got a bit of tinnitus after that, but I already had tinnitus since I was about two years old.…

Have you ever sat on the stage while a band plays? Sitting on the same surface as the drum kit and bass amp could be quite visceral, they definitely lose impact through the speakers.

Oh, and I can't forget Emma Agnew's tribute.

Another thing to consider is that this narrative where hearing people see an interpreter enthusiastically communicating a performance for the deaf people in the audience and the video goes viral takes away from actual deaf sign language performers, of which there are many, including Signmark, who has visited (and performed)…

I don't have a huge ASL vocabulary, but there is definitely a sign for "hoe" (sign "prostitute/whore" and mouth "hoe") in ASL. Not sure about "homies" if I had to think of a way to say that I probably would sign "brother" and mouth "homies". There is an argument that…

You could probably make the argument that Snoop Dogg's use of the English language verges on the unintelligible too. I imagine signing his lyrics would be a bit interpretive at times. Is there a sign for 'Hoes' or 'Homies'?.

Good friends of mine from the US tell me that the Snoop Dogg interpreter is not intelligible and is not using any kind of ASL that they recognize.

Oh. Well, that's disappointing.

Good friends of mine from the US tell me that the Snoop Dogg interpreter is not intelligible and is not using any kind of ASL that they recognize. The second interpreter that you feature, Gallego, is legit though. I read this great article about her recently.

You do sometimes have to wonder what is wrong with people.

The Chills pulled out a forgotten gem last night.

'Lost in Space' was written in 1981 and later became the theme song of the "rock opera" The Chills in Space, performed at the Windsor Castle in 1985. It was pretty fab at the King's Arms in 2017.

The Chills played a triumphant two-encore show at the King's Arms tonight.

And Martin said from the stage that (a) he's six months off the booze ("I'm going to be one of those annoying alcoholics who keeps you updated"), and (b) he's had his results back after his anti-viral treatment…

that forthcoming Micronism reissue

Salivating. And even more impressed:

‘inside a quiet mind’ was created in bedrooms in Morningside, Kingsland, Mt Eden (NZ) & Brisbane (Australia). Made over 2 years from 1996 to 1998 on outboard equipment & computer free.

Gear list:

Holly Maniatty and she's a rap specialist
Sure is – check her grasp on the message and the music in that 'battle'. Signed music is basically poetry. The Bohemian Rhapsody clip shows that well.

I've been amazed working with interpreters in policy areas where they are sometimes having to work…

Videos are still being uploaded, but as it's a one man show it will take until the end of next week for him to get them all up.

Cool. Thanks for posting here.

Wairarapa TV did a mammoth 12 hour Music Month Marathon last Saturday.
12 bands over 12 hours, with acts from right across the spectrum.
