Hard News: Friday Music: Enter Audioculture, in reply to Simon Grigg,
On the buses…
Butler (a forgotten band from Rotorua)
I always think of them as a Christchurch band, this is where they formed and played their hearts out all over, and always nearby the old Butler bus. I remember outdoor concerts at the University (town site – now the ex-Dux), the Band Rotunda and other places, I think they even supported Ticket at the Horticultural Hall…
(I was too young to get into Aubreys).

But maybe Peter Jackson will snag another tranche of taxpayer dollars and buy a 767 to make use of the new runway
Sadly it looks like he has gone for the smaller model...

The up ya Echelon...
I would've liked to be a fly on the wall at the meeting of the 'five eyes' countries Attorney Generals in Auckland recently (though judging by their inherent levels of paranoia, I'm sure it would've been 'bug-free' on all levels).
Last week it was revealed that the US AG, Eric Holder, sanctioned surveillance of a Fox journalist's emails.
The US is running scared from its own people.
They need to learn that if ya don't do bad shit ,
ya don't have to worry about getting caught...Eye Spy, more Cosby, less Culp-ability...

Doesn't NZ have product labelling laws?
Marijuana is a plant, part of the larger set of naturally grown products, which contains varying levels of naturally occurring psychoactive cannabinoid compounds.
Synthetic Cannabis uses chemicals to emulate the same effects, (as I understand it) but it is a constructed/manufactured substance how do the makers and sellers get away with not listing the chemical contents?
I have found the packaging for various brands of synthetic cannabis on the streets of Shirley, they don't seem to have any indication of chemical content on them.
Surely no list, no selling for consumption - or is it considered intellectual and proprietary property ?
Even alcohol states how much of the active ingredient is contained in each bottle/dose, maybe not so much about other additives, flavouring or adulterants, though.
(not sure about cigarette packets I'll check the next one I see in the gutter, though the gory pictures put me off). -
