i understand

but i thought that it the intention behind this whole forum deal was to aloow frank and honest debate.

but channel z seemed a little vulnerable there for a while. almost as if they didn't contol the air waves.

you can't criticise them, no.

i am still apalled.

Mulcher sounds cool... pity I don't live in range :(
We need some good radio stations in NZ.

//you won't need to listen to adults posing as youth DJs
*shudders* plz, no more of these!!

i think this is all fantastic stuff.

at least its a move in the right direction. if we cut people off just because theyre getting successful, then why would the young upstarts even bother?

My point here is most of these bands already have a decent amount of exposure and Channel Z concentrating on them further means less attention is being given to newer or smaller bands.

I have no issues with any of these bands, other than the fact that I thought half the recent we have NZ Music Month is to encourage artists from all levels, not just the cream who already generate decent albums sales and yes, can command bigger dollars than others who barely break even on gigs and go into debt just to pay their sound guy.

Wouldn't it be nice for a band of a smaller size to have a gig put on and payed for by a radio station and promoted the shit out of in the week leading up so that another band could have a chance for once?

Yeah, I mean, Yeah... This sucks, no Aaria or K'Lee to be seen - shame on the yobs at Z!

Whoops - just missed the plane to Mehico...

yeah, if this gets too regular... for any companies etc, NZM crew'll have to have no advertising policies... this isn't the place

Nah... i said with companies etc.
not bands.
channel z shud've just submitted 2 the gig guide or something

that seems like a good start

hahaha i like youre style rough - i too have noticed this strange phnomenon. even in the new zealand music industry where selling out constitutes being self sufficient.

yes yes, squeeze i know

this just comes accross more shamless and blatant
