So it's a new year and therefore it's time for some new music. Recently I had the pleasure of driving through my favourite tunnel under the Wellington airport just as the climax of a Mogwai song kicked in on one of the NZM mix CDs that I received (or rather, one of the ones that Lisa Fur received, as my copy of it was blank, White Rhino, you're a bad burner), and holy fuck, it was just the most awesome auralgasm ever. So yes, back to the point, let's swap mix tapes again!
But to make things much much much easier on myself, this is the way we're going to do it.
1. Everyone who participates will email me their address, and I will pass that address on to another person chosen at random.
2. Each person only makes one copy of their mix CD and sends it directly to another person in the swap.
3. CDs must be of the very finest quality, compiled to a theme of your choosing, and preferably featuring art work and maybe even notes.
4. If you're going to participate in this, and I'd love you to, you need to pledge that you will have your CD in the mail by the end of next week. No slacking off, no excuses, no need for me to hassle you.
Okay? Awesome. Any questions? If you want to take part, and you really should, send me your address to hubris.co.nz by the end of Friday. Radsville.

Analog is /m/! Plus it means that you'll be able to stalk an NZMer of your very own knowing their address. Of course, since the last mixtape swap, I'm stalking a dozen myself. In fact, I'm in Rdor's garden right now.
Wanui - chur!

These are the liner notes for the CD I made (look away if you haven't got it yet, Velocity!). If you can guess all the songs, you get a prize.
In movies from the eighties, Phoebe Cates struts across the patio unleashing her very nice breasts from her bikini, Molly Ringwald hooks up with the hott boy instead of the creepy geek, thank god) the Goonies never say die as they ride their bikes down the hill and a pre-vampire Jason Patric beds a girl in an abandoned hotel while a little boy sleeps on the bed near them.
In Cameron Crowe movies, John Cusack holds a ghetto blaster up under a window making every girl fall in love with him, Kyra Sedgewick promises "we will always go dancing!" and Kate Hudson skates around an empty auditorium on pieces of rubbish. And something happens with Sigur Ros playing in the background, but who actually paid attention to Vanilla Sky? It was supposed to be The Cars completing this quartet, since he wrote the screenplay, but I got confused.
In New Zealand films, Joel Toelbeck lies dying in the grass while a little girl searches nearby for her goat named Crunchie, things start to go bad for Willa O'Neill and her flatmates who discovered all that pot in their basement, a thirteen year old learns a lesson she didn't deserve and rain falls down on a funeral and everyone wonders who the murderer is.
In some of my favourite films, Juliette Lewis kicks the shit out of some stupid rednecks, Leonardo smokes a cigarette all dreamy-like, Lindsay Lohan discovers that Halloween is really just an excuse for girls to dress as slutty as possible, and Natalie Portman weeps in a phonebooth and breaks my heart.

Honestly, to this day I still have a big girly crush on John Cusack because of that. Well, that and "Better Off Dead". Excellent CD, Joanna. Well worth the wait.
