Hard News: Still sounds good, in reply to GerminalPress,
How sad and astonishing, then, to later learn of Wayne's accident. It's been almost 30 years since I've been back to where I spent most of my school days, but if I did return, I'd definitely drive out to the bridge for a quiet moment or two.
That sounds like the right thing to to.
And by the way, "Joe 90" remains - to this day - one of the finest moments in Antipodean rock...
That dude in in Wellington has uploaded it from FRiday:

Hard News: Asking for a Contribution, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
so we’ve covered most of the major site predilections with clothing, food, whisky, cups, etc – only things left might be Hard News / PAS fluoro bike clips and shoe horns (made from old Feelers vinyl)!
Did the Feelers ever do vinyl?
I'd be more comfortable getting into my boots with something more ... tasteful anyway. Vintage rocksteady records or nothing.

Choice! But will it come with a CD? Written Hard Newses are a grand thing, but I do sometimes miss the nuance that comes with careful modulation of tone and appreciative background snickering. Ah the good old days..
Actually, great idea. Just a few selected ones and/or a mash-up with a backing track.
Although I'd probably do it as a digital download. I hear all the kids are crazy for those.

Hard News: And we may never meet again ..., in reply to Rich Lock,
Alpine earplugs are the most comfortable and effective ones I've found. And they're not expensive.
They're a step up from the ones I have at the moment. Might investigate before Saturday.

Yeah, apparently he suddenly got a load of free money from somewhere......:)
Heh. If only I could get my money from Paypal that easily ...

Actually, the other thing I need to get onto now is the 20th-anniversary Hard News book.
There, I said it.

Actually, PA-blended single malt (or a superior blend from a private bottler) is something that could be possible for Christmas, but I'll need to get onto it soon.
Still wouldn't really make much money, but it would be cool.

Yay! 'Some Fantasy' from Friday's Bodega show:
More here.

Hard News: Asking for a Contribution, in reply to Ant Timpson,
I investigated this with the company that controls all the espresso cups in Oceania.
I investigated it back when we had Karajoz as a Great Blend sponsor. They were keen to help, but it was really hard to make the numbers work.
Unless you can really commit to it, merch is quite hard.

You are going to have to post a "new pool thermometer" so we can see how much people love this site :).
Currently working on getting PayPal to give me my damn money. It's surprisingly complicated.
