Great news. And further evidence that MTS has broadened its own brief and became NZ's default public service broadcaster.

Hi Murray
These are beautiful photos, thanks for sharing them. Hot nights, leaning against cars and chatting to girls. Life at its most perfect.

Along with 'Shivers' and 'I'm Stranded' for Oz Rock's finest moment? (sorry, forgot the Go-Betweens and the Triffids)

I have the 'flu, a phd to finish by Christmas and a third child on the way. My brain's all a-scramble and I won't try to comment on media policy.

But I wholeheartedly agree with you about 'Asian Paradise'. A song for the transition in New Zealand culture from colonial innocence (monocultural and fat on fresh cream) to elegant world-weariness in the era of Mr Asia. Jacuzzis, Buddha sticks and Mai-Tais... Oh and white flares.

Love that song.

Can't remember the name of this show... Appears a strange (but strangly usual) mix of styles and sponsors in an attempt to grab any available late night audience.
Great Dead C song; also great is the stunned reaction from young presenters after the final feedback note drones to a fade.
Reminds us why we love Bruce Russell.
