    The inevitable Iran-protests-and-Jacko-together-in-one-great-clip:

    Shame 'They Don't Care About Us' is such a horrible song ...

    I don't believe he was a child molester, I think he related to children as a child himself, and this way of being ...

    I think that's a bit of a rosy view, although I certainly agree that his non-childhood (and weird and abusive father, etc) is responsible for the troubled man he became.

    The court case properly ended in an acquittal (the children's family's testimony was all over the place), but it revealed a man you would not lightly leave with children. Who keeps pornography in a room set aside for visiting children? And not just porn -- lots and lots of it, everywhere in the room. It was not a good look.

    Webweaver (and Danielle) I'll see that extremely wonderful 'I Want You Back' remix and raise you a truly gorgeous Frankie Knuckles remix of 'Rock With You'.

    OMG.

    There's an unreleased album featuring tracks recorded over the last two years with the likes of Akon, Ne-Yo and Will.I.Am.

    Can you say money?

    I'm starting to think Sony/BMG paid off the doctor. This is a world better for them than the debacle the 02 concert season would have been.

    Also, Jacko has broken the internet.

    Or YouTube, anyway. If you know how Google does this stuff, you'll understand that that's fucking major.

  • Hard News: Another entry in the Public…,

    At this point, I would just like to point out that my recent bout of infirmity has ruled out my attendance at tonight's Box/Celebre revival, which I've been looking forward to for ages.

    One of the Media7 Clubbing Team will be attending in my place, with the partner in crime of her choice.

    Simon Grigg sounded so excited on the radio this morning.

    PS: I'm calling a major Jacko moment in the course of the evening, and ageing hipsters going hog wild when it happens. Sob.

    The best one liner I read on the internet yesterday:

    The only assumption I can make at this point is that he got enough.

    That's not bad. For anyone who wants to post kiddy-fiddler jokes, there's a whole thread of them on Kiwiblog. Seriously. Those people have no culture.

    No doubt partly down to those pollies investing hugely over the past decade in things that affect quality of the patient experience (and community-based primary services, promotion and prevention) - but which don't show up in the hospital throughput figures to which some weak thinkers reduce the whole health system.

    I think is is a hugely important point.

    Apart from patient satisfaction surveys (and I can't actually recall ever seeing one in the news), it's hard to neatly quantify those improvements. And yet the quality of the experience really helped me.

    You can't get that picture if all you ever report is misadventures (and I like how transparent our system has become about those) and elective surgery waiting lists.

    Absolutely sensational Holy Ghost re-edit of Jacko's 'Get On the Floor'.

    Here.

    Hype Machine goes Jacko crazy.

    Love that Daft Punk mash-up.
