Hard News: Still sounds good, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
You know, I nearly changed songs because of that. Shayne did play pretty awesome guitar on it, but yes, you could argue that. However, my next choice from Melt wasn't on YouTube either.
Scrapbook is awesome too.

Robert Fisk on Al Jazeerah in the lead up to Obama’s announcement was an unexpected benefit of following the events live. Not sure if it is available anywhere, but it was sure thought provoking. He particularly questioned Bin Laden’s relevance now and said his goal of toppling Arab governments failed spectacularly, and this is highlighted most starkly with the Democratic uprisings in many Middle East countries. Wish I could remember more.
It is certainly an uncomfortable feeling to witness celebration in any way of CIA Squads carrying out raids on foreign soil, whether with the complicity or support of the local governments or not. A similar feeling to hearing Gadafi’s son and three grandchildren were killed by NATO yesterday.
Both seem to signal a ramping up of Western Military influence and activity in the Middle East. That isn’t a small thing to mull over.

Melt has always been a favourite album of mine. I love all the other stuff too, but when I want to listen to an album from start to finish, I'll play that.
It is like the band arrived somewhere and created something that would last forever, and so far it's doing pretty well in my catalogue. Pick one!
Ok, this...
Listening to this song makes my hair tingle.

What did the Kiwis (Rugby League) team get for winning the World Cup again?
Zip.

Think a lot of people were excited, but there was that blessed wedding to contend with. Had watched a few games early on and followed them into the finals series, and it seemed they were able to turn it on when it mattered. The game last week and the first in the play-offs were a bit anomalous, and they really needed the home crowds to build up the confidence and harden their defensive resolve. They never looked like losing on Friday. Impressive stuff.
Maybe next year they won't be snubbed in the ANBL awards, but I suspect the Aussie teams and organisers will be hurting, so who knows. Your salary cap review makes me a bit nervous. Then again, can't imagine them having extra money to throw around.
Bit early to start speculating, with that RWC coming up, but surely they become a top contender for team of the year with that?

Hard News: Any excuse for a party, in reply to Geoff Lealand,
Geoff, you are safe in my respect. I'm watching the Breakers become the first NZ team to win an Australian sports league in 15 years of trying and then going to see David Kilgour & the Heavy Eights.

Has to be done, doesn't it?
