...the Asheton brothers. At the moment, I am mostly listening to this and am struck how the guitar and drums hold things together, and how melodic the bass parts are.

Hopefully it has Overkill by Motorhead, if your drummer can survive that Philthy Phil workout then respect.
Oh, and a James Brown and the JBs live 10-15 minute version of Cold Sweat or Soul Power would sort out the drummers from the posers as well!

On a completely unrelated note, other than to contribute to the vaguely sports associated Friday weirdness, here is a fantastic piece of drug infused gonzo writing from the UK football newsgroup entitled:
"David Beckham comes in your bed ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !"
Enjoy.

Whew, I'm glad because tomorrow I pick up Rock Band and the only thing on my TV this weekend is going to be a virtual version of me, rocking out.
What? To Little River Band?

I'm loving it... I'll continue loving it right up to the point when NSW spank us...
That's all very well Paul, but as the fullback for Canterbury surely you have an opinion on Legbreaks post above?

Not to rag on ya too hard. But you know, best means best.
Your setup sounds a bit manky tbh. I've tried it on several machines at home including a low spec'd tiny screened Asus eePC and streams are quick, great looking and load fine.

(I also do not handle the 'I normally don't like Americans, but I like you!' thing he gets particularly well. O RLY? Met 300 million people from vastly diverse backgrounds, have you, and disliked them all?)
Agreed, and your point is conversely aligned to the one that says if you criticise GWB or the Iraq War your are anti-American. I love loads of things about Anerica and consider San Francisco and New York two of my favourite places on the planet to visit but it doesn't mean I can't dislike certain things about America.

Circa 1980 it was the best record store in the country. We used to go to work Chch into North Island tours just to go there! Tony used the university's academic exception to import restrictions to bring in punk, reggae and indie vinyl,
Yeh, we practically used to live there when I was at uni. So did a lot other people as well, it was always a fairly lively end of the shop. After Tony I think Steve Birss took over before he got a stint drumming for the Exponents. I didn't see him for years until about 3 years ago when I wandered into Real Groovy Chch and there he was, back from Aus and stacking vinyl shelves. Had an extreme moment of deja vu and then we had a great old catch up about what we'd been up to.
Someone mentioned music shops on Cuba St above and I presume they were referring to Solid Air run by John Pilley. Was a sad day when that placed closed down but John has done very well for himself as the music man at Radio NZ (I think).

youll know this of course simon but in nz a lot of people don't realise that almost half of a $34 cd price is mark up.
I first worked this out years ago when I hooked up with Nathan from Chant Distribution to buy import reggae at wholesale prices. I used to get the Trojan, Pressure Sounds, Blood & Fire stuff at $19-$24. I knew it was a good deal but didn't realise initially that, as UK import stuff it was being sold by RG et al at $40-$50 retail.

Luckily I get to go to cities (Bangkok, Jakarta, Kl & Singapore) that have very large branches ...
kunokiniya in Singapore was a highlight for my youngest son who is a mad manga fan. He couldn't believe the range they had, he was nearly hyperventilating. Came in very handy before long plane flights, it did.
