  • Southerly: At the RWMC with Alan Bollard,

    Never mind the Bollards
    here's the Sucks Pustules

    (Oh! BTW you can see those giants The Bats in Cathedral Square
    - Chch - This Friday May 8 - 12'15 to 1.15pm)

    "We were somewhere around Port Hedland on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold."

    oh hang on wrong classic!

    Mr H when will these fabulous urbane legends
    be compiled into an obvious instant kiwi classic

    Barry Crump watch yer back
    there's a new kid getting fiscal on the block

    Two fisted funny money...
    Joe - those mice weren't tucking into a
    digger dinner were they?

    more Poster Bollards to follow
    (unlike Auckland)

    Now you're cooking...

    I could dance to that

    PANG!
    pitty PANG!
    BeDANG!

    dang!

    a double panger...
    Twinge Peaks anyone?

    bop

    bop

    bop music!!

    perfectly profound bop prosody
    onomatopaeic, beatific, copacetic

    a butter boom box!

    "will you hold? we have Kernel Parker on the line"

    (Pop, pop, pop music)
    Get Down
    (Pop, pop, pop music)
    Radio Video...

    ...talk about
    (Pop music)

    ...talk about
    (Pop music)

    go on take a look
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HaAOCGb3bw/Pop corn pop popping

    you know you want to...

    seriously, Amy I think you should publiish that
    tone poem - or maybe Emma, our resident nasal retentive,
    could add it to her secret journal of Repartee Tricks : )

    But I want to...
    ...talk about
    (Cop, Cop, Cop Porn)

    Is it just me, am I just sad and lonely?
    I couldn't watch more than 10 minutes of the
    remake of The Wicker Man (on telly t'other night)
    Looked more like a sad remake of Electra Glide in Blue ...

    Wood would make a great cage (or cupola)
    for immolating Old Nick!

    I'd best away, gotta get togged up
    for my ongoing ankle management course
    you are all leg ends...

  • Up Front: Romeo Smells of Roses,

    Genie-ish, shurely...

    amazing what rubbing alcohol will get you...

    They burn wishes don't they?

    in the words of the immoral bard (Tom Waits)
    "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy"

    Meanwhile back at the random checkpoint:

    "Have you been thinking at alll tonight sir?"

    "well I just had the one thought before I left work, officer."

    "Good, two would have been better, but it all helps curb
    thoughtless behaviour in society."

    c'est la vie
    - sacha's life!! : )

  • Hard News: Going Underground,

    Leaving Weller 'nuff alone...
    it's time to strap on yer Buckler
    up there above the Foxton Straits...

    Start the News of the World here


    Rusty, Boy about Town that you are, it augurs well that you invoke those Woking class heroes The Jam in today's augering title, Going Underground . They had much to offer on Aucklanders' Private Hell of living In the City, a Strange Town, sadly It's too Bad when Bricks and Mortar and All Mod Cons become The Bitterest Pill to swallow, a Funeral Pyre, and a Wasteland , When the Planners Dream Goes Wrong *

    After all This is the Modern World and even the Man in the Corner Shop knows that Sound Affects when you all live, Thick as Thieves , In the Crowd and will want to get Away from the Numbers and Burning Sky of a A Town Called Malice ...

    As one reads more beLaboured puns about the Mt Albert bile lection it probably won't matter if it becomes a pocket full of Pretty Green or is cast to the minions of Key, Mr CLean , and his English Rose and who will care Just Who is the 5 o'clock Hero when the roads are gridlocked.

    The Ring Roads Rule When You're Young !!
    And The Gift is just to Dig the New Breed of Saturday's Kids scrabbling around Down in the Tube Station at Midnight looking for their Precious


    I guess we'll just have to wait for the Super City Style Council to sort it all out...


    that's all folks
    That's Entertainment_



    PS:
    *witness the lyrics to
    "THE PLANNERS DREAM GOES WRONG"

    Letting loose the lunatics - wasn't the greatest of ideas
    Giving them plans and money to squander -
    Should have been the worst of our fears
    The dream life luxury living was a pleasant No. 10 whim,
    But somewhere down the line of production
    They left out human beings

    They were gonna build communities
    It was going to be pie in the sky -
    But the piss stench hallways and broken down lifts
    Say the planners dream went wrong...

  • Up Front: Romeo Smells of Roses,

    Binge thinking

    I love this phrase

    Here at The Idea Orphanage we believe a young idea should be raised by a village (more Reggio Emilia rather than Midwich though) and given many mentors and shapers especially when it is such a "Screaming Meme*" like "Binge Thinking"

    The vetting panel has approved the whole Public Address System community as early adopters and adapters..

    Set your phrases on stun!

    Let the Binge Begin

    *the idea of a "Screaming Meme"
    is humbly dedicated to Simon Grigg
    for his "propulsive" impact on our culture : )

  • Up Front: Romeo Smells of Roses,

    Ahhh, getting people to think.
    Nah, too difficult, I'm off for a drink

    Binge thinking!
    now there's a culture to aspire to ...

    "If you don't think
    and drive...
    you're a fool"

    oh the possibilities

    unverse, reverse and perverse

  • Hard News: Goodie Bag!,

    @ Simon Grigg
    sadly it's the only age I've got
    and I can't let a good pun go begging...
    (needless to say I don't get out much these days
    and where does that leave me - a play on Pig Out?)

    I was gonna go with either :

    H1N! - sounds like Heinie > ergo Buttocks > Buzzcocks
    (whoops stlll the age problem...)

    or H1N1 - reminds me of Heintje
    (oh I give up...) nice to hear from ya though

  • Up Front: Romeo Smells of Roses,

    Romeo is bleeding...

    and that's just the sticks and stones
    without the schticks and tones
    and brutish beatings of the taxognomes
    a no-mans litter of nomenclutter
    and possibly acrimonious acronyms
    the norm de guerre in a war of words?

    well that's my nominal contribution
    words and names are just recipes written
    or vibrational retrieval triggers spoken
    - we are the translation device
    (trans-sister radios maybe)
    with our own unique fine tuning

    I gotta say though that BLTG
    sounds like a sandwich...
    and didn't they (them again)
    pile up faggots to burn those witches
    (well Joan D'Arc at least)
    a bundle of fun or fuel for the bonfire
    of the in(s)anities...

    the English language is a minefield

  • Hard News: Goodie Bag!,

    almost forgot

    - from the Born Under a Porcine Dept:
    perhaps H1N1 could be renamed
    "Zwines Flu" for NZ Music Month
    before it gets positively "Mainstreet"

    Rusty's Aorta Aria - by The McCahono Set
    - hours of toe tapping fun for the young bolters, eh!

    Rita Angus cooks in Chch as well - though the exhibition poster should carry a warning "Smoking may damage your 'art"...

    Keeping it Kiwi - Tonight (5.30pm) marks the release of Jody (O) Lloyd's (Trillion, Dark Tower) excellent new CD Loops of Love and related exemplary art by muse Devika Bilimoria (Silvan Cafe, 320 Selwyn st - till May 13) - shame he lives in Melbourne now...

    Lucky Ngila - just can't get away from those nifty power rings huh?
    Hope the Green Lantern look is more the sparse Carmine Infantino or muscular Neal Adams rather than "nasal" Gil Kane and surely Green Arrow and Speedy must show up (even if only to overdose). Guess the Coldplay song Yellow won't be in the soundtrack ... whatever, nice to see the old Darby Street gang (RIU/ChaCha) doing great things - our own Guardians of the Galaxy!

    I'll raise a glass to Steve and the Androidss tomorrow night from the Flat City - channelling Gresham nights...
