  • NZ Idol - more excting than licking the…,

    The \m/ is a goat being thrown, of course. So it's not really rude, as long as you're not an animal lover.

    If I go to update Hubris then it's going to have to be a long full two week update, and that's going to take a lot longer than to just rave some more about Rockstar here. And speaking of rockstars, I'm gutted I only just read that Courtney Love was signing her new autobiography this afternoon here. I would have loved to have seen her.

    And in order to get back on topic, I think it's safe to say that NZ Idol is like, so totally over that it's not even any fun to talk about in comparison to many other things.

    OMG! \m/! I might get to sleep with Tommy Lee after all then! I like how that article in the Herald fails to mention that Magni and Storm and the Houseband were supposed to be on the tour too, except that they seem to have run into financial difficulties. And a bass fell on Jason my ass - I'm glad he's managed to find a way out of this thing.

    I was quite fond of I and II of NZ Idol, not because I thought that they were digging up some awesome talent who would have long-lasting careers, but rather because making fun of them online - and to a lesser degree in real life - was so much fun. The community spirit of coming up with a thousand ways to make fun of Jesse's merkin was a beautiful thing. But this series, after being so so so in to <I>Rockstar</I> (and thanks Russell, for helping me share my obsession with the NZ interweb world) I couldn't bring myself to watch Idol at all, to the point where reading this post was the first time that I found out who actually won, since I'm out of the country right now.

    On that note, I went to see Storm Large play tonight, because I could, and I felt dreadful for the people who must normally populate the indie rock club she played at, to have it so overrun by people from the suburbs who only came out because the lady was on TV. I, meanwhile, was a tourist, so I had every excuse.

  • The NZ Web's greatest hits (and misses),

    I have to go with David Slack and give mad props to Robyn for Secret Passage and Dean Gray for A Waste of Bandwidth. Whatever happened to him anyway?
