I'm rather looking forward to catching The Pretty Things at the Powerstation next month. It remains to be seen if they're still any good...

Everything I have ever read by John Roughan has been utter tosh. Everything. Without exception.

Hard News: Friday Music: The Jazz,
Email
It’s an odd genre, Jazz. I can’t think of any other, except perhaps Hip-Hop (and perhaps Country), that invokes such extreme reactions from people; you either like it or you hate it.
But to me it encompasses such a wide spectrum of styles and artists that I’m sure there’s something for all musical tastes somewhere.
I recently saw Mulatu Astatke and the Black Jesus Experience at the Powerstation. Their “Ethio-Jazz” is something altogether different. -

The wider public perception on this debate is the biggest hurdle IMHO. It's a poisoned chalice for any politician brave enough to take an evidence-based position on the legal status of recreational drugs. Just look at what happened to Don Brash - even though his Marijuana decriminalization comment was probably the most sensible thing he's ever said.
The way it's portrayed in the mainstream media is that ANY consumption of illicit drugs constitutes drug abuse; this is simply untrue. -

Really irritating that you can't sign up without a social media account; the same with Spotify.

Jack's best performance to date was stealing a cooked chicken from a picnic rug at Pt Chev beach. He ran through at full throttle and disappeared into the trees before anybody had time to react.
