And as RNZ's Alex Behan says, her 2nd listing for the final night means new material for sure.

Well, he did pick a year of rampantly erumpent Trumpism!
What’s to be happy about?

You wouldn’t read about it.

Funny but thats just the kind of thing, me for one, likes to read about.

It was all high art. All of it!

Who knows, that Billy T.K. album art might have provided inspiration for Yes's later Going For the One – or, as Rick Wakeman would have it, Going For the Bum.

(not due to windchill, but because the central city area is so small)

From the Stuff article that you linked to:-

" The same Jaguars he'd side-swiped while on . . ."

In the immediate aftermath of the "sideswipe", a rickety rickshaw , departing the scene somewhat the worse for wear , was identified by the driver of a passing Morris 1000, the…

The amusing thing for me is seeing on the album sleeve that we played a number of different songs ; I thought it was just one , with different movements.
But my job was just to provide a sort of continuo for the soloist, and given the impromptu nature of…

Hey, credit where it’s due: you want under-the-radar stealth, try listening for the keyboards in that mix! (Admittedly, YouTube over computer speakers is probably doing me few favours in that search.)

Looking at the relevant sentence in Wikipedia, anonymity probably isn’t entirely the point: FG has chosen an accurate function-based label.

so, just to be clear, you're saying you're playing keys on this album?

that would be well cool. it also kinda means keeping your user name might have become a bit pointless. still, cool.

Talk about emerging from the void . . . 1975 St James Theatre Wellington.
From my point of view (as the keyboard player seconded to the gig) this was all written in the moment, and if you want to say that it sounds that way , I’m comfortable.

Those are more or less my thoughts about Skeleton Tree, too.

I'm going to the Wellington show, it'll be the fifth time I've seen he and the Bad Seeds in the past 25 years (Yes, they are indeed my all-time favourite band...).

I'm really pleasantly surprised that he's touring at…

I’m not sure that’s going to happen. I just don’t think the national charts are going to be a place for local artists to manifest.

In the short term that is a fair assessment but just imagine we had as many people learning to be songwriters as we have playing…
