It was a particular education that ranged from things I can hardly believe I listened to (Kansas’s ‘Dust in the Wind’, anyone?) to the odd tune that changed my life.
This ‘Dust in the Wind’, however, is truly something special.

I used to do that same American Top 40 recording thing with a mono cassette player microphone held up to the AM radio. And people say MP3 quality sucks...
It's all about the songs.
And I have to disagree about "Bad Blood" - the "hey!"s get me every time. Most of that _1989_ album is perfect pop ("Wonderland" is genius). You're right about that "Marvin Gaye" abomination though.
Also, the Jewel School New Zealand Music Mix 2015 is a good listen. -
Robert Owens in Wgtn?!!? That VOICE! How was that not on my radar? Sadly, I start early tomorrow, as always, and I'm guessing he'll start too late for me...
Good week for SJD. Pete Paphides played 'Jet Planes' on his Soho Radio show, and Emma Smith recorded this video of Sean in his West AK HQ with Sandi Mill chatting and playing 'I Wanna Be Foolish' for Music 101. -
Kim Hill spoke to Norman Jay in 2008.
This was from the time when we had to take the music out, sorry.

I think it's a shame "rectal rehydration" arrived too late on the scene.

Field Theory: It has started, in reply to Peter Darlington,
Pirlo's setup for that Mario goal was just fabulous. England were competitive but no real flair; those young players were good, but Rooney had his chances, flubbed them, and I'm not convinced by their goalie. Will be lucky to progress. Personal highlight was Italy's right/left boot colour disparity combos; nice touch. And the commentary hiatus. And the "massage tops". What's with that? Over to you, Mr Green.

Hard News: Friday Music: Just the Tunes, in reply to Russell Brown,
My bad. But don't you get the weekly email preview?
Matt and Karl have got some good (film-related) tunes, for sure. And their new site for the NZIFF currently lists four Festival films, all music titles... -
Hard News: Friday Music: Record Store Day, in reply to bob daktari,
Cian is a good mate of Jason so that's probably why the Smiley stash is at Conch. Certainly eclectic.

Good insider piece here by Gordon Campbell.
