So cruel to have Joel McHale hosting the Emmy announcements and not give anything to Community. Dani Purdu should be up for Best Supporting Actor, at the very least.

Ok – not a happy nice Friday thing – this news (caution: video shows someone being shot in the back and killed) has my back up.

I lived in Oakland for more than a decade, it's still home and to see it facing riots today leaves me horribly conflicted -?

On a happier note, here's "The Great Drum'n'Bass Swindle" from London Elektricity through our mates at Hype Music. Terribe title, great tune, especially the Logisitics remix.

I should add that friends with businesses in Oakland are closing right now, battening down the hatches (literally), standing guard, arming themselves (one has her chainsaw out, it's the only thing she has, I've implored her to put it away) ... the problem is that if the cops show up?

Paul: how likely could it happen here in NZ?

Paul Campbell

Fri, 09 Jul 2010 14:05:23 +1200

well our cops (usually) aren't armed .... I guess that claiming you meant to pull your taser and you pulled your pistol instead is probably becoming more plausible this year

(even if people have pics of you already holding your taser minutes before you claimed you pulled it)

I've been?

Friday.

I guess you're either into this or you're not. It's Persian. It's not D&B, but I think it's cool, anyway.

And no guns or tasers...

And the Emmy noms are in. I'm with The Guardian's writer: what's with the ongoing love affair with Two and a Half Men And why do they hate David Simon?

Two and a Half Men may be a misogynistic pile of shit, but it's (a) enormously popular, and (b) a?

Oooh, Miss Thing is throwing down! Hold my gold, bitches, I'm going in. :)

Seriously, Friday Night Lights is not my favourite show but I'll happily grant that the cast is excellent (Chandler and Britton's great sin is they deliver under-stated performances rather than?

Right it's Friday, so the Emmy's are all very well, but can I land some more music?

Will have to check out the Tracy Thorn. There's so much in the female vocal department at the moment. Still loving Hollie Smith, and Kirsten Morrell's solo album is worthy, but as I?

Will have to check out the Tracy Thorn.

It really is a great album. She inhabits the characters of her peers in such an illuminating fashion.

There is! With you on looking forward to the Julia Deans record too.?

You, sir, are the man for girly-disco-drrun-'n'-bass.

Chaps have to share that stuff, you know?

I've been involved in a lot of demonstrations over the years – 3/4 of a million against the Iraq war for example – the '81 tour in NZ, .... one thing I'll say for US crowds – there's an awful lot of pent up hostility and anger, things can suddenly?

Speaking of amazing female vocals... in fact just plain amazing vocals:

The Bellbirds are playing at the Auckland Town Hall Concert Chamber tomorrow night... the perfect venue for their Baroque Pop (which is as good a description as I can think of) ...

For those that haven't heard them, there's?

I wish, Islander... I wish...

There isn't even a CD... well apart from a live recording I made in Wellington a couple of weeks ago... and there's only 6 copies of that...

I'll see if I can get some video of tomorrow nights gig. Trouble is, I get a bit?

Malcolm Ibell

Fri, 09 Jul 2010 21:10:21 +1200

Thanks Sacha... it was a special gig that one.

Islander

Fri, 09 Jul 2010 21:17:21 +1200

Well hey Malcolm – get the cds out there under a paypal setiup!
That IS GOOD STUFF!

Malcolm Ibell

Fri, 09 Jul 2010 21:26:47 +1200

OK, if you want a taste... I've put a copy of Don't Ever Let A Day Go By here.

Enjoy... it'll only be there for a day :)

Excellente/ka nui te pai Malcolm!

Still treasuring fond memories of our Mighty Civic tour, Malcolm. Thanks again.

We'll play Donovans one day, Islander!!

Especially after the magical gig Don (& I) had in the Big O in April.

Malcolm Ibell

Fri, 09 Jul 2010 22:05:05 +1200

You're very welcome Sacha... we still have a date with an Ardbeg too, as I remember.

Islander

Fri, 09 Jul 2010 22:08:13 +1200

!I'll have an Ardbeg ready & waiting Malcolm – I was away for the Don performance so give us due warning!

Quite amazing.

Feeling like some old school TT. Plain Sailing.

Islander

Sat, 10 Jul 2010 17:47:20 +1200

YES! Chladni er *resonates* with all I know about 'toning' and certain Maori musical instruments (you know that wee buzzer thing we used to make with a couple of buttons? *Old* device here – used to be used- among other things – for loosening mucus in lungs, particularly of infants.)?

As we speak my three little-uns are robot dancing to this track with much aplomb. Their flu-ed up old dad is smiling, so thanks.
