Tobi Muir and Silva MC at IRL of Jafa Mafia on Saturday afternoon. Real Auckland dancehall. They started with a Cornell Campbell duplate (aka a one-off version he recorded specially for them) and finished with a dubplate of Dawn Penn's 'No No No'. Amazing.

The video won't keep the time…

the boss Dan Howard is not only a legit music fan, but a member of the Public Address reader community and a really nice chap.
Indeed. Thanks for turning up to the IRL event too, Dan. Positive potential all round.

science fun...
Weekend activities available in Chchch include the Fun Palaces at the Peterborough Street Library and elsewhere about town...

...this is the local manifestation of Stella Duffy's UK based project which was itself a reboot of a 1960s project.

Good community and creative fun.

Also highly recommend that people use the Archive wayback machine to visit www.tallyho.co.nz for the great archive of posters and artwork.

Doug of course played a hugely important role in the Flying Nun story...but most people don't even know he was briefly the singer in The Clean.

Determined to remedy this!

The agglomeration of copyright, trademarks and patents into a beast called "intellectual property" has worsened the situation, not bettered it.

How so? They're all completely independent rights, governed by different acts of parliament, different case law, etc..

An artist or organisation may well have involvement with two or more of…

Are we to take from that graph that Doug Hood doesn't play well with others?

Ha ha.

Roll on the death of copyright as we know it.

Just a thought....would it be possible, perhaps, for the pundits here (NZ music aficionados) to compile a playlist of tunes from Kiwi artists who have declared their troubled pasts, and woven those experiences into their work?

I have heard some good interviews on Natrad over the past year or two,…

Do you ever worry that you missives on a Friday may lead to another "Scottish Thread"? (the thread that dare not mention its name).

Hear This has a cool API which means I can stream it from Logitech Media Server – nice. https://hearthis.at/api-v2/

The Verge has a write-up on Spotify Discover Weekly which I concur with as far as it gives me new, interesting and different music each Monday – http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/30/9416579/spotify-discover-weekly-online-music-curation-interview

Great resource! What a complex web we have, the Clean just one of many. Hell of a job to keep it updated. All the great historical Chch 80s stuff seems to be well covered.from an exploratory look. 'Mint Chicks' doesn't pull up yet Kody Nielson's Silicon…

I get an email a week asking about Mysterex – it's there in all its post-punk glory (although large parts of it are on AudioCulture now).

I recall the sense of shock when Andrew suddenly shut it down ...

The big problem with the BPRS and soundcloud is that they are after royalties for their artists, but the way soundcloud works is that the artists post their own music and collect their own revenue.

Only a very few artists directly derive revenue from Soundcloud – only those invited to…

The National Library’s Sholto Duncan has pored over the dead URL file of the New Zealand Web Archive and turned up hundreds of New Zealand music sites that exist now only in the Archive. Some of them really illustrate why we have such an archive.
