The "hundreds" might be going a wee bit far

Yep, and I fixed it on Discogs.

It could also mention that he hosts a mean bar-b-que on occasion, but that may be outside the scope of the profile.

Nope, very much another Doug Hood. Our one (sadly unpermed) deserves automatic entry in the the NZ R'n'R Hall of Fame.

As Discogs says, "Along with Chris Knox, Doug Hood, more than anyone defined the sound that became known as the Flying Nun Records sound. He produced or recorded hundreds…

I'm still gob-smacked that the current organisers tried to charge him to get into the Big Day Out last year....

He'd be in the booth grooving away, perm a'shakin (at least I assume it was a perm, as surely no one is born with hair that bouncy outside of a L'Oreal commercial) and he kept getting interrupted…

Yes, all that anticipation and expectation and we were close to 'what finale??' and then broken bottles and pistols in the afternoon!!!

I was talking to someone from the show the other week and they were like you are gonna love the last episode.

Next season will be the last,…

1988-89: I was back in NZ for a summer of sun and house party promoting. Murray at Rip It Up asked me to do an Iggy Pop phoner in advance of his forthcoming shows. Sure, I said.

My first mistake was suggesting that it must be…

The gigs were sponsored by Pepsi and boy did Iggy go to town dissing it. Barnesy also wore a fair bit of crap from him, too.

'Fess up, Russell. Were you the rather over-excited reviewer who told the world that "Iggy Pop blew the headliner off stage"? :)

You guys are aware that old Iggy, in skinny topless glory of course, is all over the place here in the UK selling . . . Car Insurance . . .

For Swiftcover, a company who, for a while, weren't insuring anybody working in the entertainment industry. Then the ASA…

You're soo slooow :)

Like slow cooking? I know, I know I will never catch up with some of you guys!

Didn't see that coming

Misdirected by the "should I have a crack at that scorcher" from old Eric.

There's some great stories about when Iggy supported, of all people, Jimmy Barnes, at Athletic Park and Western Springs in early '89.

The above post relates directly to that. I'm in some small way responsible for what took place.

Tell you in the morning.

Just noticed my 500th contribution has just ticked over--do I get an extra scout badge for that?

Absolutely off topic but .... Outrageous Fortune, what an ending. Didn't see that coming.

Beat me to the comment, you sod!

Yeah, that was insane. I was already near peak ZOMG at the stabbing, and then...

Which included symbolically urinating on a Pepsi sign on stage.

We had the AK after party at Celebre and Ig was keeping well away…

Aren't you?

There is currently a spot a couple of inches below my left shoulderblade that doesn't hurt. Would…

It features a lot of blood, dirt and broken terracotta.

You mean it didn't feature a rousing version of Kill City 200x with Robert Smith, as commissioned by Palmer's Garden Centres?

This is like being asked to join Grampy outside on the front porch with a jug and washboard.

...only to find out he's having a Tupperware party.

But hey, put me down for backing vocals.

But, seriously, that is so sad. Maybe it's just me, but times can't be that tough for the Ig surely?
