Hard News: Friday Music: The Shopping News, in reply to Russell Brown,
weren't it just - I spent well over the odds I was expecting and still had to walk away from real wants. Pleased I got out early.
But jesus, some air conditioning in some of those stores would be good. Odour de goat gets a bit on the nose after an hour or two.
went to Dr JCC as well, but for mine the PA was too bassy/ mid range and you couldn't make out the bleeding words when he got his dander up. Still, his between poem stand up was amusing enough.

Hard News: Friday Music: The Shopping News, in reply to Ken Double,
for sure, prices for new vinyl are now taking the piss. $70 is mad.

I'm less fussed by the nature of the RSD releases than I am about the impact they have on pressing plants. Labels like Numero deal with it all the time with the majors clogging up production by repressing oodles of bullshit no-one needs.
And I it's hard to enjoy the middle-aged elbows and knees you have to contend with for releases few people would raise an eyebrow over at other times. It's like there's blood in the water.
Yeah I know, first world etc and so on, whatever.
Still, a pint and a rummage at Groovy will be grand after the annual crush at Southbound - it's the baking innit. And I'd like to finally see Wax Chattels. -
hey Russell, found some disco bangers in the RG bargain bins - struck a seam of 80s/ 90s 12" that had me looking over my shoulder to check if anyone else was going to jump in to a box ahead of me.
Anyways, I've always thought Boney M'd have some goodies and I got two on the same album. This is my fave but:

wow, that Carnivorous etc and so on is my kind of stuff. like it very much.

Hard News: Music! Is Everything ..., in reply to Sacha,
well I would but someone's nicked the taps.

As an aside, I was at Neil Oliver's talk at the Town Hall a few weeks back, cracked ribs and all. It was a largely grey-haired assembly - me included unfortunately - and you could feel a certain bristling in the air when he raised the issue of Maori land confiscations.
He paralleled them with the Highland confiscations - which occurred at much the same time - and the way in which those wounds remain raw, even for him, and how the memory is passed down the generations.
From where I was sitting it felt like quite a lightbulb moment for many present. Which was good and kind of sad at same time. It still takes a whiteman context. -
yeah man, we're just a teensy tiny bit excited by what's in store. Baker's dotting a few final tees, but we hope to be able to confirm everything next week.

thanks for that matey, and yeah, it's been a hell of a ride. also, we've made a few exciting (important) discoveries since it came out, so roll on Vol 2.
also also, great non-list list.
