When in doubt, wear black all year round. Seems to work for Wellingtonians – and Melburnians, for that matter.

Melbournians wear much less black and dark grey than Wellingtonians.

The Greasemonkey script for TVNZ ondemand may avoid the regional downloading thing?

The '64 clip underlines just how far Epstein was happy to let them go to be loved by one and all.

An interesting insider description of Aspergers from teenager Alex that some might relate to.

Thanks Hilary! I've flicked that on to both the boys to see what they think.

(BTW How do you embed it?)

Just paste in the URL, like you did, but with no code around it.

They can't. But the links Russell posted for Heavenly Pop Hits were to NZ On Screen – and you can access that from anywhere :)

That's what you get for not reading things properly. I blame the kids who keep trying to come into the classroom at lunchtime and annoying…

Can people overseas access TVNZ online as I posted a link for the 7 Worlds Collide doco on a list and they couldn't access it in the states?

They can't. There are however a few clips from it on Youtube you can send them.

Nah, they can't.

Do let your offshore indie friends know.

Sources say Limp Bizkit will be playing.

How can you take seriously a band whose name sounds like the aftermath of a boarding school circle jerk?

don't diss my man like that – he never wears Dockers, or jirts or jorts

Mine's also American and he doesn't either, so my assertion is false from the get-go. :)

We're due soonish for a first reveal of this summer's lineup.

Sources say Limp Bizkit will be playing. I'm not convinced that they've been away long enough to be a novelty act.

All American men, without exception*, wear pleated khaki pants.

Hey don't diss my man like that – he never wears Dockers, or jirts or jorts. You can even tell the tourists (I guess from the Midwest?) in Seattle by their Tuck-in, fanny-packs and very white shoes and socks.

Sartorial comment: NZers, as a rule, do not regularly wear khaki chinos, jorts, or jirts. Therefore, we are made of win.

I wear denim shorts on occasion; this is mainly because I went to school with sk8rz. Pleated pants of any fabric, however, are a crime against humanity when worn…

Also, I think the latest Auto-tune the News is a little less than some of the others. For me the standouts were 2, 5, and 6. The latest one is just a chance to say 'look, we got T-Pain!'.

Here's another oddity, which I've been showing to everyone: a Bollywood version of 'I Want To Hold Your Hand'.

I don't know what any of those are and I'm not sure I want to.

And I thought I was badly dressed because I just didn't give a twopenny fuck.

Perhaps related to the repeated complaints by leaving French ambassadors about how boring and badly-dressed New Zealand women are.

The ultimate sign of their arrival is surely the appearance of T-Pain himself!

since i first followed a link to a (very early) Autotune The News clip i have thought that, while awesome, there was more potential rather than actual brilliance on display...

each subsequent video was better than the previous one...…
