New Zealand music needs to lose its fucking conscience. Mind you, I have just finished reading the Motley Crue autobiography/biography/drug and groupie adventures, so I'm biased.

That is a FANTASTIC book. I recomend it to everyone. I took it to school, and people would make a face when I said it was a music biography. But give them a quick read and suddenly everyone requested it at the library. It's very rock and roll, and, erm, explicit.

what I want to know is what happened to rumour bitch? there was some real dirt-dishing. last we heard was the 2002 roundup, whereupon it was said...
"That will do for 2002 but look out bitches, because after negotiating a hefty pay rise and securing first dibs on any touring rock stars, I'm making this a regular thing."

The Anvil says "Rock is not a ...
The Anvil says "Rock is not a meritocracy, and therefore wherever there are Musicians there are people being praised and revered beyond the limit of their actual capabilities, and wherever this happens there are Egos. The rock audience is neither the smartest nor the most discerning of audiences and most, while happy to watch lame facsimiles of popular overseas trends, are unable or unwilling to step beyond that comfort zone. So we contend that to a point a conscience is needed, and that we need to make a shift to championing originality and creativity”.

Then of ALL the musicians in NZ, Why did you pick on Sam Scott? Aguably one of the most original and creative in the country?

Can you ask Teh Anvil where it is on his site he was championing originality and creativity? Looks to me like he's more interested in becoming famous for his renegade shit-stirring, and even then he doesn't do that particularly well.

Although the posting style makes me skim read the_anvil's posts, at least the_anvil talks about NZ music & has said some vaguely amusing stuff. (I think) I'd far rather get rid of Lucifer Spam, Jotun and lcajmo.

this shit is boring. the public fighting and holier than thous are a waste of space. it's happening every day. when did we all become such experts and where did the arrogance come from? i think we all need a healthier dose of the real world than we're currently getting.

Teh Robyn says: "As the first to suffer the Anvil's wrath on NZMusic.com, I have come to appreciate the deliciously evil insight that this large block of iron used in the crafting of horseshoes has come to offer us. A little dissent and ego deflation is probably a good thing. Surely we are grown-up enough to deal with it?"

aside from the chit-chat and the (very well put) "holier-than-thou's", what kind of symbolic is the anvil for creativity and originality in music... if instruments are the tongs and hammer, the iron the music... then the anvil is the goddamn monotony and repressiveness against which music is created.... blahblah
