Destiny in motion was an 80s minor hit but what's amusing is that both of them still want to be associated with it. OK, admitting you were part of SS at a party amongst friends so they can all have a light hearted chuckle at your expense, that would be ok, but beyond that i can't see why you'd want to be remembered for it.

Great photos. Thanks. I have found it hard to photograph our dog due to her being black, and fast...and me being a rubbish photographer. But, this photo I like. Coco was 6 months old then and is now just over 2 - she is still obsessed with tennis balls. This is the first dog either of us have owned. Should have done it sooner...although ask me that whilst she's exhibiting her "behavoural issues"

Was that clip from the voice supposed to be like the master class section from master chef? Surely they didn't sit down after that and start judging the contestants? Please no.

I always liked that Levon played on this. It's such a recognisable style he had. His Daughter is on backing vox I believe too. Garth Hudson also played on the album

Capture: Laneway 2012, in reply to JacksonP,
was a cymbal. Now a cymbal that's been cut into a spiral. It actually sounded pretty cool. In fact she played a lot of cool instruments - Harmonium, bass pedals, guitar and various percussion items. A real highlight of the day I reckon, although the sound was less than grand on that stage until Mr Carter got it sorted at the end.

Hard News: #BDOMemories, in reply to Russell Brown,
the rain started during the Jesus Lizard set - I think God was pissed off or something.

I can't recommend this local album highly enough http://bannerman.bandcamp.com/album/dearly-departed
If I was in Auckland I'd be going to see them at the Leigh Saw mill tonight with Tiny Ruins and Artisan Guns. But alas i'm not.

Hard News: I have a feast for you, in reply to 3410,
I don't even need to listen to music anymore. I can tell if I like it just by looking at the waveform. ;)
Ah, but can you really? I don't claim to be an expert on this but the late, great Ian Morris once gave me a quick private lecture on "the loudness wars" which is where mastering people get songs to sound loud, particularly for the radio. To do this the tops and bottoms of the waveform are cut off. So you can actually have a waveform that's just a big black block. You wouldn't be able to tell if the song was any good by looking at it. I realise you were joking of course, just thought it was interesting. This video explains it better.

Done, and thank you.
