Appalling, appalling creation of story- and yet these guys won Best Something-or-Other at the Qantas awards didn't they?
Best Newspaper. And really, when you look at yesterday's paper, it's pretty lively; much more so than the SST. They've got lots of stories.
So it's a shame they felt they had to bullshit-up their lead.

I've checked with the guys: I didn't misspell Brendan's name (phew), so it looks like his confirmation email (both when I tried to set it up and when he tried on his own from the same NZOA address) is being blocked by an overactive spam filter.
He has a board meeting to prepare for, but he's going to have another go, saving his text this time ...

You know what, rob(bery)? Why don't you just say you're an artist who was denied funding by NZOA? I can't figure out any other good reason why you would be so invested in all this.
He has a small record company, but his day job is alienating people.

dubmugga asked a direct question back on friday midday, then it was mentioned again, and again, till the silence was deafening. That makes me feel ......unsettled.....
It was obviously terribly important to you Rob. The answer is yes, but I really didn't feel like being ordered around or hectored by you. It's actually quite depressing having you do this to yet another thread.

well it was a petty comment when I wrote it but after that long winded explanation on how couldn't handle the simple process of signing up to a discussion group I think my comments were decidedly on the (tax payers) money.
No, they weren't.
how was it your fault again. isn't the sign up process full accessible to anyone at any time?
I set up logins for all three panelists, but I didn't initially copy in Brendan and Duncan to let them know. Then I think I mistyped his name, so he wouldn't have been able to log in. He tried registering again, but our system had a registration against his work email already.
So, in his own time, he registered from his family email address, with his middle name. But he lost his post because the login dropped off in the two hours he was writing it (this has actually happened to me before). It's Murphy's Law ... and largely my fault.
Frankly Rob, I don't enjoy being called a liar and I'm tired of the way you bait people on this forum. Sort out your attitude, please.

Apparently he's so out of the loop in his search for public opinion and debate on Music Funding that he doesn't know about the existence of Public Address so perhaps your first task as internet guru to the stars could be to show brendan how to work an internet browser :)
I wouldn't blame him if he didn't want to engage with petty comentary like that, but I've discovered the problem. Brendan was keen to do it, but I made a mistake in setting up his login for him, so it didn't work.
He went so far as to register under slightly different name, but by the time he'd spent two hours today typing a post today and when he hit save, the login had dropped off and his post disappeared. How embarrassing. So: my fault, not his.
I hope he tries again.

Can I completely and utterly change the subject and ask if anyone knows: what happened to Poneke? Was enjoying that blog. Not as much as this one, of course, but it had that air of civilisation missing from about 99.98% of the "blogosphere"
I've emailed him to find out what's up.
-
bugger, that didn't quite go as I imagined
Aw, sorry, real HTML doesn't work here. I'd get the guys onto image embedding, but they're a bit busy whoring themselves to global capitalism at the moment ...
-
for a second there I thought you were fishing for a job
Oh Rob, why do you always think the worst of me?
It needs to be someone younger, hipper and cheaper than me.
that's cool of you to offer your advice pro bono.
I do it all the time ...
In saying that, I'm still essentially seeing NZOA as a broadcast agency, but one that needs to expand to fill the new spaces available. On-the-ground outreach is, I reckon, a job for another agency.
