2002 B.net New Zealand Music Award finalists

Forums: NZ Music,

oh my god........rock is dead!
not for fucking long though. apart from the D4 and the "rock/pop section", there seems to be a complete lack of rock.
Go paselode with the "best unreleased song" nomination. Fuck yeah! show those dub motherfuckers up you hairy bitches.

Yeah for dub, I was fukking hard pressed for choice. But i do agree that perhaps the range was a little narrow, although i def. enjoyed the plethora of talent up for nomination...

i agree man dub is shit

DUBBB IS FUKKING GREAT...I LOVE DUB, I DEFEND DUB...

Yeah Fuckin' Good on yah Paselode (great to see Wellington representing!)

But congrats should also go to Wellington's marvellous 'dub' bands (Black Seeds obviously and more broadly speaking Trinity Roots).

The main thing is that it alerts the rest of the nation to the goodness coming out of Wellington (regardless of genre, I don't understand all this animosity towards dub from the 'rock' fraternity).

Word

and yay the pheonix foundation!
i don't know about the "dub animosity".
i wish we could all get along but with wellingtons only local music broardcaster being so dub/dance/roots focussed it's a bit hard not to be a little edgy on the subject.
wellington music has always been great - wether it's rock or dub who give's a shit. our friends are making it so lets all get behind it.
the foundation or the 'lode - my vote is split.

ah yes, there is much goodness in welly of many flavours... respect and love to all...

my vote is also split .. hmm

Cheers Nato

Yeah, know what you mean, and I know certain members of the dub fraternity that echo this (is it wrong to love both? Of course not!)

As for votes for best unreleased single, that is why I have two email addresses if you get my drift.....

Fukk i hear that...its all good dub...rock

does anybody know why the datsuns arent up for best live?

I'm with you on that one man!!!!
I saw them a couple of weekends ago, and MAN!!! they rocked the King Arms down! they totally blew me and my mates away. I didn't know to much about them, 'cause I haven't been in the country, but I'm a fan now, that's for sure!

shit........i didn't mean to start an anti dub sentiment, saying "dub motherfuckers" was more in a friendly way, sure I am a rock man through and through, but anything that is nz music is all good in my books, just a gutting representation of rock bands in the listing..................ESPECIALLY in the "best live act" category.....whats with that???? I'm guessing the bnet people only go to dub gigs

Of course dub and the green stuff have always gone very nicely together so perhaps the b-nets are sponsored by the Legalise weed party....
...yep the Datsuns should be there, but rock is best when it stays under the underground...

dust - at least the nzmusic site goes out as the "undefeated champions!"
