  • Hard News: Believe the Hype,

    Oh, I meant to put this in the post. Likke Li and Bon Iver busking 'Dance Dance Dance' in a park in LA:

    That's so cool.

  • Up Front: Absence of Malice,

    I just want to know who I am today...

    Can I suggest that both versions of Emma log out and then log back in as themselves?

    I can't think of a way this could happen, but obviously, it'll be less amusing as it goes on.

  • Hard News: Need to Know,

    @Craig:

    Hey, if you can take Oliver ("__Naked News__ is a post-modern meta-parody of the vacuity of modern media NOT a tawdry attempt to get attention") Driver seriously, anything is possible. And someone should tell Oliver that he's doing breakfast television, and adopting a 'I'm so above this shit' attitude while exchanging lame banter with a pack of telebimbos just makes him a whore in denial.

    His rationale for Naked Newsflash was utterly unconvincing and the segment is simply rubbish. His past petty feuds with theatre reviewers were extremely lame too. But I fail to see how that invalidates everything else he does or makes him a "whore", FFS.

    @Bart:

    Craig

    I never said I took Oliver seriously. He's a breakfast TV host FFS! Of course as an actor and director he's seems pretty talented, but what do I know.

    I think Oliver Driver is very talented, if maddening at times, and that he's making a good fist of the Sunrise gig when not many people thought he would.

  • Hard News: Need to Know,

    I would only support an inquiry if it also looked into the Te Quaeda raids. Spying on groups is spying on groups whether they are Greenpeace or Maori activists.

    I'd like a Te Qaeda inquiry too, but I certainly wouldn't equate the two.

    The Rama lot were putting the frighteners on locals long before the police moved in. (I suspect that had the police not gone so over the top in the Ruatoki raids the local reaction might have been quite different). And urban "peace activists" who buy guns with silencers do give me the shits.

    The Gilchrist spying was on conventional, public organisations undertaking no covert or illegal activities. It's of a different order, to my mind.

    Do we still get a music, vid and usual Friday post Russell?

    It's coming. It just seemed inappropriate to combine it with the above.

  • Hard News: The Flashing Question Mark,

    __Don't take it personally, Mac fans are notoriously a bit sensitive.__

    That really hurt.

    You brute, Tiso.

  • Hard News: The Flashing Question Mark,

    I've found music a life saver with young female cuzzies in the family. When the 13 yr olds find out that you genuinely like and own some Kanye and Dizzee Rascal (as compared to their parents) they warm to you and you have something to talk about.

    I came back from London for the summer of 88-89 with a cassette of freshly bangin' house tunes. I dubbed it off for my cousins and they were the toast of their high-school party scene for the next year.

  • Hard News: The Flashing Question Mark,

    "Arse", Mister Brown; we're not Americans.

    I'm fairly sure you don't mean to refer to Apple being too far up its own donkey, vivid though the image is.

    Well, I'm glad it moved you to register to post, but in an American context, I think "ass" is appropriate.
