@james horton These are very different agendas - how? just asking

@tom beard - just re-read Matthews post, which referred to RIANZ which represents the major players in the music industry, so I'm guessing that he was talking about the music industry/recording industry. Two names of the same thing, i think.

Matthew P - Seriously, National aren't known for doing anything that's not sought-after by the recording industry
Um, you mean like last time they were in power, when they froze funding levels for the arts. National have never done squat for the music industry when they were in govt.
It would be more accurate to say that Labour aren't known for doing anything that's not sought-after by the recording industry - witness Helen Clarks rapturous reception at the NZ Music Awards last wednesday. Labour have created some great initiatives for the music industry, but this is not one of them

Yesterday Helen Clark defended this piece of legislation when interviewed by Sunrise's Oliver Driver, saying "What Judith Tizard's working on is getting a new business model for artists in New Zealand".
YEAH RIGHT.
Even worse - Maurice Williamson (Nat IT spokesman) says he voted for the bill, but admits he doesnt know why. Our IT future is clearly in good hands.

re Jenny Lewis...
Kanye West now goes up to strangers in airport lounges and tests out his new songs on them... "We missed our flight and had to wait a couple of hours in the lounge," says Jenny Lewis.... "I noticed Kanye West was waiting for the same flight. He looked over and said, 'Excuse me, would you mind listening to my new track?' And so he put his headphones on my head and I listened to two of his new songs. He had no idea who I was. I guess he was doing research."

Seymour Stein was in the country recently to audition a local act. His condition was coming was that a private pub gig be staged for him, and him alone.
Wouldnt have anything to do with Gin Wigmore getting chased for a US deal? And how about Savage selling half a million in the US? "Swing" moves to #10 on the iTunes Hip-Hop chart and #35 on the overall singles chart." from MTC blog
