Nice, nice idea Russell. I've started my Friday in a warm, fuzzy, "supporting New Zealand music" mood, and bought it straight away.
Makes up for the "I had to give away my Bloc Party ticket and stay late at work" mood from yesterday.

I love love love that NZ lolcats use NZ lolspelling

YouTube URLs you say? Here's one for the designers...

Eclectic, old, killer technology

@Mark: I'm hurting for you. This should cheer you up too:

merc,
I think this is great, will download when at home, 60% for the artist, go you's. 15.00 is a great price point.
LOLColin rocks too, thank God for a good vibe, we need it. -
Russell what's the sample rate we're talking about here? always get edgy when I hear the word MP3 -- and how come Amplifier don't let you listen to the whole thing before you buy it? song samples don't cut it, never have.
also, what rate do you buy your songs on iTunes encoded at? I'm interested in finding a CD-equivalent setting. thanks.

Dude, Russell, you're making mix tapes? Who are you trying to seduce?

I haven't checked them individually, but AFAIK most Amplifier tracks are 256k.

You, Jo. Always.

bro... i can get you her phone number, if you want.

You had me at 'Queen of the lady bloggers'.
But in all seriousness, nice idea. That Phoenix song is fantastic and is probably very applicable to many people who lurk on the interwebs.

The latest YouTube link sent to me is a clip of a a guy called John Smith singing a song about winter and doing interesting things with an acoustic guitar. Shades of john martyn

Speaking of killer technology, this was how the Empire was won:

i'm sure a lot of you will have heard this on the b, but now you can fully appreciate it, complete with scary bunny-headed bmx bikers

Stupid work.
All I'm getting is a bunch of "Get Flash Player to watch videos"
Which is a tease cause you can't download it at work. -
That we grew up watching this explains a lot about my generation...
-
magically works you say..
Appealing, in a disturbing sort of way.

...and part 2.

No, unfortunately Colin the Cat seems to be a bit lexically challenged. "Flavr" is spelled the same way internationally.

merc,
I love this http://icanhascheezburger.com/ far too much.

Just before I left for work, I downloaded the Big Stereo Bundle, made a playlist in iTunes, loaded it on to my iPod, all ready for the walk from Mt Eden into the city.
My verdict: it's rool choice! The first two tracks kick things off perfectly (and it was only yesterday that I was singing "If I gave u Th' Mic" in the shower, so perfect timing on that).
I particularly liked Solephonic and Feelstyle's "What's your style", which tickled the early '90s hip-hop loving part of me. And the sly, sexy, bluesy Bannerman song was another favourite.
By the time the epic closing song - "Couldn't Anymore" from The Reduction Agents came along, I was almost at work, but wanted to be sprawled out on the floor (any floor), drunk, wailing about some guy (any guy) who had broken my heart.
So, yeah. A really good selection of songs.

Courtesy of some uploader named duncster (who's prolific) the first minutes of TVNZ News some time in 1985.
Plane crash, school poisoning, hurting farmers - and unions holding out for a 17% pay rise when only being offered 15.5%.
But where's the cute puppy, feigned indignation or story about how someone's daughter's life was worth more that 18 years?

But where's the cute puppy, feigned indignation .... ?
Word.
And anyone else feel that the standard of dress at the news desk was a few notches higher back in the day?
Lots of class, pink hanky and all.
