  • Random Play: Rock Follies,

    Speaking of beers.. Does anyone still remember the great duet by Prince and Tui Teka - "Rasberry Beer Eh?"
    Yeah right.It was sometime back in the 90's when Tui was trying to make its presence known by an ill fated attempt to win over the snakebite market.

  • Island Life: All those in favour, raise…,

    In a similar vein to your last link, you could try to download the documentary "The God Delusion (part1)" -Richard Dawkins. The point about amputees is mentioned there also.

  • Flying Nun Moments,

    HI janedoe ...I think the gig you refer to may have been the final one by a band called Lip Service (the drummer Rooder(?) went on to play with Dave Dobbyn.

  • Flying Nun Moments,

    Thanks for a life less ordinary.

    Bought Tally Ho from the boys in the back of their van
    Outside the Record Warehouse in Durham lane
    Just doin it.

    The Chills played Clean support on the first tour.
    Some able Tasmans were in the audience.
    Doesn’t anyone think Coldplay were inspired
    And even ripped off riffs by the Chills?

    The Gordons (technically preNun) shredded ears
    Like the Skeptics at the City Hotel
    Sound system filling half the venue
    Their sound the other half.

    Drank beers with Chris and Mark E
    On the first night of the great bootleg
    Discussed The Seeds (Try Raw and Alive)
    Before double drummed divinity.

    I used to think JPSE (As they came to be known)
    had a great song in
    Lime Green, falling down down down
    Until I like Rain was released.
    Somehow it made perfect sense.

    “In poetry, the symbolist procedure - as typified by Verlaine- was to use subtle suggestion instead of precise statement (rhetoric was banned) and to evoke moods and feelings by the magic of words and repeated sounds and the cadence of verse (musicality) and metrical innovation” –Wikipedia
    Oh and the sexiest of bass players was a bonus.

    Doublehappies last performances
    Mindblowing.
    Sadness.
    Beating Debbie to the dancefloor
    Then the masses
    As the phoenix arose.
    Sadness again at an Abrought departure,
    Climaxing at the BDO.

    To the many D’s
    Thanks one d for your discovery playing wargames
    You halved my annual petrol bill.
    Could never understand why another d was always appearing
    beaten in Ardmore Rd – such a nice guy.
    Ardmore Rd, 24 hour dairy, a friendly hub.
    The silliest Rossi was obvious!

    Spud boys,
    The OZ crowd could not reconcile
    What they saw
    and heard.
    Just doin it
    For the music.

    Hairy breath monsters
    I carried your Jesus on A Stick
    All the way home.
    You were preachin to the converted.

    As with many explorers, Tasman's name has been honoured in many places:
    the Tasman Glacier
    the Tasman River
    Mount Tasman (aka Tasman Hill)
    the Abel Tasman National Park
    Tasman Bay
    the Tasman District

    HC’s Maximum points for song about a fat man.
    LBGP love your cat.
    GU shame about the Pollock

    This twenty five year moment
    Of life lived
    Under a shower of creation
    Of trips taken
    To the beat of aural devotion
    Of friends made
    Who shared the best
    The revolving doorway
    twixt heart and soul and mind.

    Thanks
    I’m glad I was here.

    Glenn Cassidy
