Hard News by Russell Brown

What I've been listening to today (twice so far, and likely to be more, it's that good) is Black Boned Angel's swansong album The End - limited edition (like most of his stuff unfortunately), beautifully packaged, and loud as a really loud thing.

No YouTube, but the first of 3 tracks can be listened to here

It's a spiritual thing
a body thing
a soul thing

An EP I'm loving at the moment: http://renaissancemusicnz.bandcamp.com/album/the-midnight-trips-ep

Made up of S.F.T., Rizvan and Tonga Vaea. Some mighty fine stuff.

Salad Boys live at Camp A Low Hum this year.

Awesomely, they're actually playing with The Bats in Christchurch on May 10.

I recently stumbled across this track from the artists formerly known as Double J and Twice the T. Actually, I think it might even predate the Double J and Twice the T days, back when Jerry and Jeremy were hip hop-loving high school pals who'd caught the attention of Mike Chunn. "A Fire In Happy Land" is harder than the family-friendly hip hop/pop they came known for. It even involves the F-word. Choice.

The Bats

…whose May/June US tour dates are confirmed

a bit biblical on it …

I'll dedicate this one to the incumbent govt, from everyone they insult with everything they do

Wow! I had no idea. That's quite a thing.

Fuck Soundcloud and its "something went wrong". And software designers.
Yes I know I have an old OS!
And I'd also like to dedicate the above track to Pope Fucking Francis.
Yep, just getting the catholic church back to its core business of offering false hope to the poor.
And everyone sez 'What a nice chap ...sooo humble'
EFF OFF.
