It amazes me that people watch shows with psychics and believe the premise that the psychic is working cold.
Yeah, like, if they can somehow divine where a person was killed - as they've claimed to do in both the episodes I've seen - then how come they don't ever make thwemselves useful by finding the body of someone who is still missing, huh?

Conrad Black gets six and a half years in prison. Good.
Nice to see that some jurisdictions take massive fraud seriously.
I mean, 12 months home detention with allowances for working? Isn't that pretty much normality for, say, any law-abiding person with a young family?

I'd have picked the 1480 Kr[oo]zers being something to do with Radio Hauraki
They were the sponsors.

If in the early 1980s you have been a member of the 1480 Kroozers, what would you have been?
A skateboarder.

the main violin bit that gets repeated over and over in "Bittersweet Symphony" doesn't come from that sample
True. It really comes from the piano line in the second verse.

(Yeah, I've never heard it either)
here's a short, lo-res sample.

Stones sample
Andrew Oldham Orchestra sample. Ironically, given the Verve's loss of Bittersweet Symphony rights to Jagger/Richards, AOO's version of "The Last Time" bears virtually no relation to the Jagger/Richards song it purports to be.

Also most politicians, in my experience, are tone deaf.
Yeah, that would actually explain it, I suppose (even though the two pieces are, in essence, exactly the same).
If you believe the Dom-Post (or Key) he didn't actually listen to the DVD before urging the rest of the country to.
I'm presuming he has by now, though. That article also says that they got permission for use of the original at the conference, which I was wondering about.

Re: Clocksgate
Key is quoted in the Herald as saying:
That was the music that was presented to us and the advice was that we owned the rights to that, and that it was acceptable. That may still legally be the case because it's a grey area but that doesn't meet the standards I believe in. (my italics)
Presuming he's heard both versions, that's rather a strange statement, no?

This Key-Coldplay brouhaha sure is a gift to pun-lovers everywhere.
I'll suggest:
"Complete Clock-up sees DVDs recalled"
