TVNZ treats its library material as a commercial asset and it's very expensive to buy.

Unless you are SkyTV in which case they'll hand over a whole channel's worth for free to keep the Minister happy. #grrr

Sadly, I have found 'Westside' vapid, albeit with some good and underutilised actors.
Last week's episode was a ripper though, due in huge part to the music you mention -the fragment of Beat Rhythm Fashion, the infectious glory of the Clean. Liked the footage splicing too- thanks for this and…

Wow, that survey is so revealing of the misconceptions of the survey designers: I am sure that they will get just the answers that they are looking for :-)
Did anyone else think that?
My practice for the last several decades has been to not play music for money.
As…

One also has to wonder why TVNZ prices their footage so high, since one assumes it's not exactly a hot market internationally for NZ news footage.

Because the gummint told them they had to operate in a business-like manner, therefore charging as much as they can. (An alternative theory is…

That's a great story.

One also has to wonder why TVNZ prices their footage so high, since one assumes it's not exactly a hot market internationally for NZ news footage.

One also has to wonder why price-gouging occurs when this footage was paid for before TV went commercial. Sure, Westside…

As they started mixing in the real footage of that day, I found myself starting to tense.

Interesting story there. TVNZ treats its library material as a commercial asset and it's very expensive to buy. The breakthrough came when the keepers of Merata Mita's estate were able to give permission…

Glasto looked great, mud n all. Am outlandishly happy that I going to be seeing Sigur Ros (amongst many others) with my 16 year old daughter at Splendour in the Grass in a few weeks time ....

Slightly tangential, but I saw your tweets about the delayed Friday music post interspersed with reference to f*ckery in the UK – this reminded me of a reggae song called 'White man is f*ckery' which pretty much tells the story of white men being dicks as seen via Jamaican eyes.…

The Clean’s ‘Tally Ho!’ trumpeted the mad dash through the fences of Rugby Park

As they started mixing in the real footage of that day, I found myself starting to tense. Those were my first real political memories. Conflict inside my family. And then they started playing Tally Ho! and…

Been trying to like Westside story. Maybe I'm missing something, but the characters don't click for me. It feels a bit 2d. The jokes are ok but it's all a bit stagey; the emotions unreal. I'm gonna keep trying :)

The best thing for musicians would be a UBI. Which would also be great for parents, the disabled, the mentally ill, etc. So let's simplify things and just do that.

That would certainly help.

I did that survey. Not a bad idea, but I suspect they'll get a lot of answers along the lines of "Yes of course I am often stressed because I have no income".
