On was Tom Jones's Sex Bomb,?

From what I've seen of the world cup games I can only agree with the consensus from twitter, but honestly I didn't expect much better. If there does?

Oh, don't be such a grump ;-)

Except the IRB owns the event. NZ is just the venue.

If people think FIFA is arrogant, they haven't had to deal with the IRB.

Of course, I have the tv muted until the haka is about to start (if the ABs are playing) or until?

I HATE it. The game I went to, I got more and more annoyed with it, and the annoying Olé ! that goes along with it.

I don't understand what relevance it has to rugby.

Various musicians, writers, critics, label owners, radio people, etc, etc, may well be keen on rugby (and I know many who?

I think the point is that Great Big Events claim to have a music person as a creative director.

You sort of have to be there... though TBH me and anyone I've been watching any games with do it at home too...

It's a useful signal to get back from the loo.

Woon is also far more open minded and experimental, which is important considering?

Of course letting the crowd generate music would be a breach of the IRB rules about having fun, Book 5; section 27b subsection 15a as updated in the?

But, I also think that as a package, the poppy atmosphere, the mariachi, the ole, the ominous TMO sound and everything else are?

From San Francisco if we are talking the Frankie Beverley led band.

So, assuming an average gate of 30,000 and 20 opportunities for music in a match, then every time NZ score a try and they play "why does love do?

If I was in a young band, I'd record a suitable tune just as a gamble on a comfortable lifetime income. Something like:
Waaaahey! Rugby! Waaaahey! Rugby!
etc.

I'm only just discovering Jamie Woon — and actually via his intriguing remix of Lana Del Rey's 'Video Games'. BUt yeah, I plan to investigate further.

As I watched the England/Rumania game in Dunedin?s new stadium, I had the distinct impression that most of?

Sample here.

There's an amateur/fan brass band which plays at England soccer matches – around a dozen instruments in it. They play the theme from the great escape. Then they play it?

I gather the old-time silent-movie pianists often didn't get a practice run so had to keep an eye on the movie so they could extemporise the music to fit the scene. Must have added a whole?

I guess there must not have been any stipulation by RWC2011 Ltd about NZ?

In our South Stand seats at Eden Park, it was impossible to ignore the?

Me too. Although Dan Slevin harshed my buzz by telling me that most of what you hear on the telly is recorded, with a little live voice over the top.

Those foreigners would never appreciate NZ culture. Oh, wait..

My understanding is that the orchestra is pre-recorded, but the singing is all live – might be wrong though. Could?

Oh yes, it was quite a job apparently. As it happens, Eric Clapton did the background incidental music for?

Could you? I'd love to know for sure.

I had been?

Brilliant series. Haven't mustered the courage to check the US remake.

Low international recognition? (silver lining)

I also ended up discovering Melbourne artist Faux Pas. All over the place, in a?

and this one seems relevant? Oil on the shore

The meanest burn I heard? "Like a million bad high school balls mashed up with every lame wedding reception you've ever been to." Ouch.

Counts as a miracle in windy Welli..

There is some merit to this. While the Black Eyed fucking Peas have been pissing me off?

It?s all mass arousal/quiescence and?

I thought that was Chumbawamba's Tubthumping. Or is that only at the League? "I get knocked down, then I get?

I note that the sun is good at mass ejection...
So much so that it is squeezing satellites out of orbit notes Spaceweather:
Solar activity has strongly affected ROSAT's decay. Only a few months ago, experts?

I seem to recall it?

A fine tradition, sir.

Ah yes, now it comes back to me. I don't know if I'll ever recall the third song though. 3 songs?

Hats off, Ian! :-)

I had a friend with a cassingle stuck in his car stereo for some time...

This amuses me. You are one of the more singular people I know. You'd be a nightmare for a market researcher :-)

You'd think so, but I had regular work at $50/hour on evenings for ages, until I just got sick of doing it. Considering I was employed to do marketing at that point, they were getting some pretty high quality time from?

it's still white though #phew :)

I seem to remember Gary Steel writing an article about the state of NZ Music back, in say, 2003, where he made some off-hand reference?

you beauties... not beasties :-?

(Yeah I?

So not only do?

I've heard she likes a cockatoo...
:-X

& many others. But I'm being convinced here that maybe I'm just conflating not liking the particular music, to not liking music generally, in that setting. If good alternate picks keep rolling, I'll buy it. What would you play, and when? This is a?

That'd take while to work out properly, but basically, work up from:

(In seriousness, you also need to have a multiple-zone setup as well, really).

Having just watched both I can say ?don?t bother?

Nice one.

They seemed plenty noisy to me around 10.00-10.30 last night...

And after enjoying some Beautiful Noise from Yo La Tengo on The Arts Channel last night, I awake to find one of the other brilliant Matador [[http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=10759639|husband and wife teams?
