    But if that was 25 years ago, then I’d be 48 now … bloody hell.

    Clearly, I must be mistaken ;-)

    Another thing with Amplifier, for every act, there was a bio. Even if it was just a couple of sentences, it was usually enough to establish where the act was from, what kind of music they played, and probably also a list of band members.

    Quite a few times I've found the info I need from those bios. Another excellent point, Robyn!

    a huge crowd of people cheering on while listening to a big stereo, to me that is just very sad

    Can we embed youtube vids in the comments?

    Yes! All you need to do it paste in the URL (not the embed code) and it automagically embeds.

    The thing that unnerves me about the impending demise of Amplifier is its video archive. It has a decent selection of New Zealand music videos, many of which can’t be found online anywhere else ...

    I’m a little upset about this.

    Thanks for the heads-up. I suppose the masters of those videos being around is too much to hope for, but I'll let NZOS/Audioculture know.

    Koha sent your way – keep on keeping on!

    You're too kind. No, really, you are.

    Might I say Ian, that I take inspiration from the things you do.

    A bunch of those turn up at your local $2 shop after Scout folded?

    Popped up on the Horny-Handed Subs of Toil Facebook group.

    Subs were doing bleak career humour years before reporters.
