Speaker: Her outdoors, in reply to EE,
It sounds like a very practical idea after reading your story Six.
Ha!
You know who's doing that project? Six.
We'd planned that as her next post.

The Lontalius album launch show at the refurbished Las Vegas on Thursday evening.
As well as his own songs, Eddie did a sweet cover of Anika Moa's 'Dreams in My Head'.

My efforts. The light was a bit difficult for my iPhone, so I had to go hard on the filters.
The light did fall nicely on that well-travelled Fender amp though.

I think it might even be an Autumnal solstice full moon as well – propitious indeed!
My goodness. Were I in Christchurch, I'd be wth you.
As it is, I got given a ticket to the sold-out Lontalius album launch on K Road, so I'm going to be down with the serious kids.
Interestingly, that's a 7pm showtime! (I approve)

Never been a scene person (probably too introverted) but if I were picking one, I’d go with 1950’s NY jazz scene around the 5 Spot in lower east side. Miles, Monk, Mingus, Coltrane + mobsters.
Yeah, that's a goodie – and one I wouldn't have been able to summon to mind.

I think the On The Tracks gig at the Railway Station for New Years Eve 1988 (I think) was a great experience and Entrain in Golden Downs for New Years Eve 1995 was too. You felt that both gigs were ground-breaking – a new era dawning.
Wasn't it Rule the Track? I can't recall whether it was before after the Housequake parties in early 1989 (I was out of the country) but that was Grant Fell et al stretching the boundaries.
And the Audioculture article I did about Entrain is one of the most popular ones we've published. It definitely set the scene for The Gathering and Splore.
It's interesting how many of the most popular Audioculture articles are about what we call "Scenes". The Wellington clubland in the 80s one has been huge for us. It shows the way people place a lot of emotional stock in people-and places.

Me too.
It'd be great, wouldn't it? Sure, you'd have a bar open, but the focus would absolutely be on music. I'd pay a $20 cover charge for a night done right.

Blondie ?
Indeed. You could call it dilettantism given that they weren't really involved in those other scenes, but the way they brought them to light was really important.

Hard News: More than a bang on the head, in reply to izogi,
Was he actually taken off the field a second time, or was Rob Allen mistaken with his comment on the show?
No, he played on. Either you misunderstood Rob – I thought he said Lonergan returned after a few minutes – or he misspoke.

You’d think that ACC would be strongly advocating better concussion management for younger players….imagine if the dementia in later life can be proven to have been caused by concussion…
The evidence is starting to mount up.
I had three concussions before the age of 18, when I stopped playing rugby. None of the playing field, although one was tossing a ball around and running down at the park. I remember the last two – apart from the time I spent unconscious – and it was the most horrible, sickening feeling. I vomited for hours afterwards and I have a bolt of white hair that may be at the impact point of the last one.
There's probably a case for saying I shouldn't have been playing after that last one.
