Cripes. I’m not sure either of us are quite old enough to have missed that cut Sacha.

Another point I neglected to consider before posting above, was the striking contrast between Vaughan's:

You can still stand tall

and Yelich-O’Connor’s

And I’m not proud of my address

Regardless of the peripheral…

‘bullshit’ is being called here by namedropping, with a degree of familiarity, the very products the lyricist is reacting against

Welcome to the postmodern world young people have known since birth.

it observes that the ostentation of major label hip hop and other Top 40 pop isn’t terribly relevant to suburban teens in New Zealand, I can report that she and her friends aren’t really worth arguing with.

But Tom Beard pointed out something interesting. Which is that William DeVaughan’s 1974…

After sleeping on it – I’m sure it was during the transfer process to making a ‘mother’ for the stamper at the pressing plant – so I reckon that stomping thumping crescendo at the end created chaos twice!

You're right I think Ian. Man that was a monster to master…

I decided I didn’t actually like that ‘Yeke Yeke’ edit – it kind of flattens out the remix – so I decided I’d try and buy the original remix digitally, ideally as a WAV file. I could not do that. Juno actually had it on a compilation, but that was…

Having spent some time this week arguing on Twitter with the author of the blog post that declared Lorde’s ‘Royals’ is “deeply racist” (I’m not giving them any more inbound links, soz) because it observes that the ostentation of major label hip hop and other Top 40 pop isn’t terribly…

It was Glyn Tucker at Mandrill.
Time and space (between synapses), eh?
I musta went to the pressing plant for
another record then. I had one of those
black plastic 'dog turds' that press into vinyl
for a long time, too, wonder where it is?

This is the week both my computer and headphones have given up on me, so I'll wait to listen to this wonderful selection.

That Yeke Yeke mix reminds me – the best musical experience I had this week was Afrika in Wellington. We saw Amiria Grenell do a delightful soulful…

I think I still have somewhere, a rejected acetate ‘master’ from the cutting session Frank Douglas did of The Tall Dwarfs first record

It was Glyn Tucker at Mandrill. It blew the speakers at the studio and cost me and Paul $200 for a new cone.

Pressing issues...
I think I still have somewhere, a rejected acetate 'master' from the cutting session Frank Douglas did of The Tall Dwarfs first record (Three Songs) – he wasn't expecting the sudden rise in volume and 'noise' at the end of Nothing's Going To Happen and all the levels…

BTW, a bit of vocal from "Be Thankful for What You Got" is sampled in NWA's "Gangsta Gangsta", and it flips the sentiment, becoming what the original song is attempting to dilute.

And here’s a cool new local song – “Bridges” by Brood, produced by Joel Little. Already creating buzz beyond these shores. Very delicious.

Okay, I'm impressed.

Gaaargh! L'il Louis!

They say smell is the most powerful sense, and the one most likely to hurl you back to a specific moment in time, but I reckon they're wrong.

I reckon it's House.

And since you didn't plug it yourself, I'm going to do it for you: Russell's great reflection on AudioCulture on the 1984 Queen Street Riot. Chris Bourke said to me that Russell's original story in RipItUp was perhaps the best piece of reporting on the day's events at the time.…

"but the Auckland music scene's not all intense young men with beards,"

Is the correlation between intensity and beardedness well established? I've been fuzz faced for 39 years and always considered I was rather placid. Even when young...
