  • Hard News: Mighty Indeed,

    Cheers everyone for a great night.
    Very impressive organisation, and a treat to see the Blams for the first time.

    I really should have said hello to Robyn as well!

    There's another big Wellington event tonight, when the Phoenix take on Perth at the Stadium, 7.30.
    (No, Jo, I wasn't one of those people who voted for Terry Serepisos in both categories!)

  • Hard News: Back in the mainstream,

    I want the old style ocker politician back.

    That is like asking to live in Interesting Times.

    Uninteresting times may be boring, but they're a hell of a lot safer.

    Our politicians hardly ever say anything fun these days, I miss getting a laugh from politics.

  • Speaker: Singing g against the E chord,

    Talking about NZ music from the 70s, did we ever do any imitations of disco or soul music?

    Before the 80s, NZ music was a lot more derivative of overseas trends. I have some great psychedelic albums from the early 70s (e.g. Jessie Harper 'Shades of Midnight Sun'), but I'm assuming we never had the studio budgets (or the inclination?) for Motown-type soul?

    Is there anything besides Golden Harvest 'I Need Your Love'?

  • Speaker: Singing g against the E chord,

    Herbs are under-appreciated.
    Their best of, Listen, has some good tunes, but some over-earnest protest songs which haven't dated well.

    Surely they are a root influence on the reggae and dub so popular in NZ these day?

  • Hard News: The Finance Campaign,

    I would rather have proper state funding of political parties than what is proposed now.
    It favours the incumbent government too much.

  • Random Play: The Age of Reason,

    Craig often leaves me thinking 'Did he really say that?'

  • Hard News: Mint Chicks win everything,

    I'm assuming the Phoenix Foundation albums have already gone, as I'm off to buy mine today ...

  • Aussie comedy dissing Polynesians?,

    Sounds like you're overreacting.
    Comedy often has to make fun of someone for the laughter of others, that doesn't mean there's any nasty intent behind it.
    Anyway, how do you know this isn't a reflection of the situation in Oz schools?

  • Speaker: Bigger than us,

    Will we get coverage like this if the Wellington Phoenix make the A-League finals this year?

    I'd volunteer to write it ....

  • Phoenix Foundation - Bright Grey (dir.…,

    This needs to be a chant on the terraces for the Wellington Phoenix soccer team.
    Hoohoo - Hoohoo - The Phoenix win today!
