I think it is worth mentioning that David Kilgour appears to be one of, if not the, busiest boys in New Zealand music at the moment. Last month’s Kings Arms concert was pretty much the thing of legends (see below) and then there’s the previously covered DK & the Heavy Eights release, with that instant classic (IMhO) Diamond Mine, for which they are doing a gig at the Kings Arms next Friday.
Sorry if this is a repost, but this video is surprisingly good quality.

For the back drop and Nick’s suit …but hey the song is a beaut too.
damn ..must learn to embed properly

I fixed it -- you need just the URL of the clip.

Speaking of which, there’s Shayne Carter’s back-pages special Last Train to Brockville at the same venue on May 14.
I had a chat to his manager last night and hopefully we’ll have some ticket giveaways and a guest blog from Shayne about the project next month. Choice.

Choice.
Indeed. Going to both as it happens. Why wouldn't you? At $20 bucks the Kings Arms is often the best ticket in town.

Something very classy, with ukuleles:

Was so good watching Nas and Damian Marley, The Strokes and others live at Coachella on YouTube this week. And so incredibly suckful (yes, suckful) when the videos YouTube posted of various performances later were geo-blocked

Craig Ferguson + Doctor Who = the cold open which got canned once the lawyers came along with their ban hammer.
Included puppets and (surprise special guest star) and a super rundown of what the show is about.
'Til we meet again, Sarah!

big up for including tanya/silva mc in there.. she's awesome on the mic

Somehow, I have only just started listening to Husker Du after really getting into the Replacements last year. Two incredible bands. Also reading "This band could be your life" at the moment, brilliant read.
-
Saw Husker Du live in the Powerstation sometime in the early nineties. Magical.

-- although I fear that the people at the back missed my killer musician jokes.
John Simon Ritchie is such an easy target ...
"His name, "Sid Vicious," was originally a joke, because he was so mild-mannered and shy. "
what were the Claudine Longet, Lead Belly and Son House jokes?
:- )well okay, Sid and Claudine's cases may have not been completely proved...

"Intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism".
If you started a political party with that as the slogan right now, you might even win an election. Well, if the Doctor was your leader.

This may be late to the party, but just in case anyone's not yet had their Gravy Rainbow fix:
Warning! Earworm alert! But most intriguingly, among all the cover versions, response clips and general WTF?-ness of the reaction, comes the suggestion that it was influenced by an obscure, icily-minimal German electro act from 1983. Or is Soße-Regenbogen a cover ... of the future?!?
But I still can't get enough of this old Disasteradio clip, partly for the name ("International Deviance"?! Where do I sign up?), partly for the fez dispenser (every bar should have one) and mostly for the lyrics, which could serve as a to-do list for any good night out.

Das ist kühl.

A damn pity that the Felice Brothers gig never happened there.
-
Ladi 6 is fantastic, and thoroughly deserves the win.
I am guessing most of you will have already seen this superb track from "The Adults"- Ladi 6, Jon Toogood, Shayne Carter and Gary Sullivan. Gorgeous.

No you didn't sorry - they split in 87 and never toured here. I was a huge fan so if they had come I'd have crawled over broken glass to see them.
You probably mean Sugar - Bob Mould's second band after a stint releasing solo albums, and yep it was a great gig. He toured here during his solo time and played an awesome gig at the Gluepot where he did play some Husker Du songs, he came again a few years ago and played the kings Arms as well, and yep - played some more Husker songs

No you didn't. Husker Du split very acrimonously in 1987 and have never reunited. Bob Mould played the Gluepot solo in '89 and Grant Hart came through NZ early last year, that's the closest.
I suspect you're confusing Husker Du with someone like Sonic Youth or Mudhoney or Buttlhole Surfers who did come through in that era.

There's at least one obvious pun in the tour title, but what is the other one ? I know it, do you ? Answers on a postcard to the usual address, etc.
-
George Clinton is planning on fitting TWENTY SIX musicians on the Powerstation stage. Seriously.

and… ?
EAT: Yes, I know it was the Monkees, but playing ELO seemed punnier.

I'm going to guess this.
-
Hmmm Brockville -
well he's not over the hill yet, then...
perhaps Shayne doesn't want to become Stipe-cast - REM (Random Elvis Moves?)
- Pig Flat Elvis anyone?and best to go by road anyway, as far as I can work out the train doesn't get any closer than Burnside at the start of Kaikorai Valley Road - BTW, did you know that Brockville Road terminates at a junction with Dalziel Road
- just sayin'... -
Here you go. The Brockville tunnel with a train in it.
Is Shayne going underground?
