just for the record simon, no disrespect to you ever, just in case you're the sensitive type who reads these things into internet discussion, and I'm sure you're not.

Why does funding all have to revolve around radio ?
it presently revolves around 'commercial' radio. An important distinction.
The guidelines as I read them do not support this, that's brendans personal interpretation.
There is regional funding in the guise of creative communities but their funding is in the range of $1000. They're pretty open to different genres, no radio focus etc.
That doesn't correct the misdirection of NZ on Air though. I find it offensive that it continues to operate contrary to its guidelines, as I would find it ffensive if any other aid organisation used funds for anything other than what they were intended.

Should we just assume people in different places like the same music then ? Compare sth aux tastes to chch to welli central ? Theres a big difference eh. Even in hiphop theres regional differences in musical output.
True but you don't want to be giving funding to an act just because the come from a certain city. local knowledge would address that though. you only see the current staff when they're here for a wine and cheese evening or to rant their sound bites at some pre arranged function.
qualified like how ?
like NOT a self appointed style maker.
People with local knowledge, music involvement and background, and cover a variety of genres. But that's not going to be relevant until they address the Commercial radio format fetish they're presently stuck in
As far as I can tell the current team at NZ on Air have minimal background and contact with the wider music community. They're hardly diverse and as said before you never see them round. None of em turn up at the kings arms/SFBH/Dux/Refuel etc every weekend to check out the local movements. how could they possibly make decisions that reflect what's going on in the music culture scene. -
but please try and bear in mind that it's my house.
that's an interesting concept.
I don't know that I agree with you entirely on that.
My understanding is public address is an open discussion forum, and this is your blog in that forum. It depends on if you see your blog on public address as a route to frank and honest feed back to your other activities such as your media show or listener column or if you see it more as a fan site for you, like a band website etc.Public Address seems somewhat of a media experiment.
Can you have open and frank interaction with the public in an open forum?. people might say things you don't like.
What do you do about it when they do?you could disable their account but then the experiment has failed cos you're silencing that which you don't want to hear, not really in the spirit of the internet and open access.

And yeah thats why i suggested regional funding though a liaison person who knows the local scene
I like your idea of local knowledge person,
I'm not so much for regional funding as for making sure your location doesn't handicap you for funding, because there is a lack of regional awareness.That's why I'd like to see if there's any correlation between number of grants from a region and grants received.
In the south there seems to be a lot more dissatisfaction with funding decisions and a push for people to move to ak or wellington to participate in the system. A funding body shouldn't encourage urban drift.
Its not that each city should get equal amounts of funding but that no city should be disadvantaged because of its locale.
The idol audition thing, well you'd have to have qualified staff for that and that's definitely something worth pushing for but I'm not holding my breath, I'd just like to see them acknowledge their brief properly for starters and watch the trickle down effect of that. free up all that cash going to brooke and co, "target that which would not otherwise be funded", focus on identity and culture, and put the effort into getting some real change on commercial radio, however that might be achievable. -
I don't think you know you're doing it, but please try and bear in mind that it's my house. Most of all, try not to imply I'm lying. That does tick me off a bit.
noted on the imply lie thing. For the record I don't think you would knowingly lie, you're a pretty earnest guy. you certainly can be evasive if its something you don't want to say.
if you don't think I know I'm doing it then you could try politely point it out instead of a put down. it might work. Although I know this is the internet and that stuff is fair game I don't respond well to off handed comments just like you don't.
Whatever ...
yeah, whatever.....

you're chch, no wonder you're angry :)
I'd love to see the stats on distribution of grants regionally.
including how many applications were received from different areas and how many grants given to those areas. -
You've been insulting towards me on various occasions,
Ive been critical of you on various occasions.
The point of my comments was to criticise you.
you've done the same on many an occasion and I show you the same degree of respect you show me. As I said I'm not a fan of your music critique work. I am against you being involved in issues of music funding or guiding policy on music because I don't think you have a solid grasp on it. you obviously think I'm blowing smoke too, and imply it, but I'm not getting upset about it. I'm confident in my level of experience which you seem to question although I think you know very little about me, and I accept that you have different views to me, and I'll shrug your comments off accordingly.lame-arsed taunts like "ok, noted, kyle can't handle lateral thinking"
it hard to know what to make of his response to my example. he really didn't seem to get it and thought I was attacking him for some view he held on disaster relief.
I wasn't there to pick fights with kyle (just smyth and occasionally you if you do the talking down voice of authority thing) and attempted to understand his view point and express mine. I put a genuine question to him. -
It was a worthy scheme as envisaged by Brendan and intended to create a catalogue of material that radio should be able to play, and give the act something to build on.
yes it is a good concept, and one that should have been taken up by another dept. definitely not NZ on Airs job.
Albums are a record labels commercial device to make a project profitable. you can sell an album for more money for the same manufacturing cost etc, not every song has to be a winner on them, etc.That's got nothing to do with broadcasting potential. it has a lot to do with growing an industry though, building up bigger catalogue of kiwi musical achievements. Surely that would have been another project to tackle after they got radio into a position to play it.
Radio pretty much never played anything that wasn't given to them as a single though. they don't go trawling through albums looking for missed gems to turn into hits.
