Oh, and having finally joined a gym, Carl Craig is my friend. How can anyone do that without an iPod full of cool techno?
so true, never forget that mr c2 sounds divine sans gym also.
you can always doublestep to some poppy dubstep:
Benga and Coki 'night'or even go for the real rough hypnotic darkness:
Shackleton 'blood on my hands'
fall. fall. fall. fall. fall. fall...........
bongo jamz indeeeeeeeeeeed..... -
People do use thier indicators in Auckland - it's just that everyone seems to think they mean "I have turned
HaHa so very true. sometimes
In the UK (notably much safer place to drive than NZ) you are taught specifically NOT to indicate unless there is a clear purpose in doing so. Never understood why it was mandatory here.
really? isnt part of the point that YOU may not be 100% aware of what the guy two lanes over is planning? or the bike in your blindspot, or the guy up ahead who is also thinking of changing lanes, or the guy in the side street you cant even see.....
I personally make a POINT of letting people in, but in some cases,southbound between the bridge and the viaduct fer example, if you haven't gotten in lane you are either not paying enough attention to the road [foresight is goood] OR are being a selfish pointy thing, both badbadbad.
plus I don't think Auckland/New Zealand drivers are that bad.in general
oh yeah, G-dawg, good post. i was thinking of Carter as wanker due to the incident, you cast the interaction in a different light for me. thanks. -

Never again.
amen.
and that is only one of the gross hardships and inhuman outcomes of such pro-lifers forcing their__beliefs__ upon humanity.
and we haven't even got to overpopulation yet. in many ways we seem to be as similar to locusts as any other lifeforms.....

One less reason to bother reading the Listener in the supermarket then. Now its basically down to Brian Easton...
Plus stinky Jim Pinckney's music reviews. as irregular as they are.

To boost his appetite he used herbal remedies
"right on". those herbal remedies are well-recognised as an anti-nausea agent, and also increase appetite for some.
as long as they don't effect the chemo drugs themselves, then get him into them.
plus,* * i have heard * *, you can often get the same positive effects without some of the negative effects by cooking in various ways....

Annoying little twat. I just want to swat him and say " look bro dont be such an arrogant condescending little know it all cunt cos it alienates people."
Dub, Nick is one the the very few honest people on television today. plus he fucking LOVES music. and is passionate about innovative music. that ain't no facade you are seeing there. not just some wannabe tv star pretending to know what he is talking about. cant you tell that?
too busy looking for the next media conspiracy?

I'm happily on the edge looking in. I've always preferred it that way.
out here on the perimeters........everything sounds better. Hiphop and electronica, dubmuggers favourites, mostly seem to prosper on the fringes, the underground, the dark corners. I like it that way. I have my Burial. Kode9 . Benga. Killa P. Different Drummer. genre spanning goodness. Kronos quartet. Steve Reich. not so different really. none of these really expect mainstream radioplay, or much media attention. shit maybe you are right, forget [commercial] radio totally. waste of energy.
......... lessor versions of something that the rest of the world can do better.
AMEN.
Isnt that the problem with the music (and movie) industry worldwide? lowest common denominator, play the safe card, forget that the real winners both creatively and financially come from a place of innovation and artistic passion!

Paul, Andrew,
cutting stuff, eloquently put.

I really struggle to understand why NZ music funding is such an issue.
While artists should be using all possible resources to get their music heard/consumed, there is no one fit model for all. when you plan how to get your music into the world you should use, but not rely on what seems to be overly complex and minimal value adding system. its like the people that jump through hoops with tax dodge finance/property schemes and end up making minimal savings that arent worth the effort expended.
yes its good to get some funding for local music. And yes I was passionate about the lack of kiwi music on the radio in the early nineties, especially since there was so much good kiwi music that was being missed by commercial radio because it was playing too safe.
However that has changed a lot, its not ideal, but it may never be. we are talking about commercial radio after all. If someone thinks they can make money with a country music station, then one will appear [and make gray bartlett a happy man....maybe], why moan about the lack of one? its like moaning that there isnt a good chip shop on the main street, either open one yourself, or shut up.
I may be proved wrong but Opshop and Brooke Fraser are exactly the sort of NZ records that don’t stand a shot outside NZ.
i thought part of the arguement was that we shouldnt be pandering to international tastes?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
my overall view is that you should be able to do what you do whether that means making money or doing it for the love, without relying on hand outs. use them, be thankfull they are there, appreciate that they may not benifit you, but do try to understand that the music industry is a place where different worlds exist ontop of each other. there will never be a solution that fits all realities here.Its like huffing and puffing at a paper plane when you could just grab the thing and throw it already.

They decided not to continue due to the cost of the frequency.... so now its Sky Digital channel 65 or streaming over the web...
Thanks fletcher. I bet that cost them a LOT of viewers. seems like a really strange decision in that the drop of numbers would result in a drop of advertising revenue.
