  • Hard News: The not-so-Evil Empire,

    whilst all the above may be well and true... for me the crux of the entire story is how stupidly complex and long the T&Cs are - which isn't a uniquely apple thing but its is a very valid gripe

    sounds like the schools need an excel template or some such modern day marvel to input the data into

    I saw Simple Minds 2 or 3 (?) years back at the civic... they played just enough of their old (good) material for me to be well happy... (Chelsea Girl, Love Song, Sons & Fascination) - Jim Kerr didn't even come across as a cock

    not sure I'm middle class enough for a vineyard

    hang on I went to the civic

    *confused*

    doesn't post anything to my fassbok (which is how I registered) - unlike spotify, which both bugs me and doesn't

    there's a reason this stuff is called 'social'

  • Hard News: Friday Music: More Finding,

    for them who've done the doco (so good) there's this wonderful 1 1/2 hour compile of live footage to compliment the series

    "An archive celebration of studio performances from the British bands that broke through courtesy of punk between 1975 and 1982. Starting with Dr Feelgood and Eddie and the Hot Rods and culminating in Gang of Four, with performances from Top of the Pops, the Old Grey Whistle Test Something Else and other shows by the Sex Pistols, the Clash, the Buzzcocks, the Damned, Joy Division, Siouxsie and the Banshees and many more."

    Watched it last night and its so awesome, some shocking performances, some great... I suggest you add beer (or some tipple) to increase your enjoyment... or them enjoying nz broadband find the file...

  • Hard News: Moving from frustration to disgust,

    I can't but help wonder if our PM's latest utterance isn't a well timed brain fart to divert attention from the surplus being pushed back...

    added bonus, making our education system better (sarcasm)

  • Hard News: Drunk Town,

    we only need a solution if the problem is attitudes to drinking and not a byproduct of other social problems

    generally I have been amazed at how mature most young I come across are with regards to alcohol - these kids are not out of control (yes some are and some always will be)

    this seems to be yet another 'pick on the young' issue of which we've seen all too many of these past 4 years - stop picking on them and pick them up, give them jobs, a sense of optimism and be sobered at how stunning so many of them are as people
