    Of course Emma can do that on her own, to be fair.

    Leave a few cultural theory junkies to it for a while and we can turn most threads. :)

    Leaving it as a Green bill could have been a win for Labour.

    Agree it never took off - but some of the production styles and knowledge sure seemed to sweep through hip hop and other forms. And it featured in adverts and background music on tv shows because of its general lack of vocal distraction. Perhaps that silence was part of its failure to go big, even in the face of some very average and even flaccid rock at the time?

    And I'm led to believe that Christchurch was always disproportionately active, more than Welli despite their love of the dub.

    It is vanishingly unlikely that you personally will ever be at the original scene, unless you live in a couple of cities -- London or New York basically.

    Last decade, I had the privilege of stumbling into what I'm told was the second biggest drum'n'bass scene in the world - in Auckland. Admittedly, London was first as you say but I believe New York barely rated.

    With Pasifika arts and suchlike, it's most likely we will always lead. Unless we piss around unambitiously and let the Aussies catch up.

    Oh, and what Jolisa said, too.

    We're all in the grip of something that I can only conclude has some obscure evolutionary purpose as well as infallible capitalist logic.

    But the spread is mediated by capital almost always

    Capital can provide the vehicle, but not necessarily the motivation.

    Fashion is a rich exchange of meaning, one of the most concentrated that humans have developed. We have always liked to communicate, and to make sense of life.

    an added wistful sign

    I thought Giovanni might enjoy that typo.

    Don't want to duplicate myself so here are some links. Been arguing with folk over at the Labour MPs blog (over a couple of threads) about Maori seats for the Auckland Council. Probably not Grey Power, but they're more polite than most at the bog or standard, if not necessarily any better informed.

    Does anyone have the phone number for Baldock's parents?

    Although looking back at the thread title I'll leave you with this random thought:

    What would a mortgage wear?
