i see, just thought it was a little strange to use deja vodoo, as they wouldn't really reflect or be relevant to any other nz band, but i guess they are entertaining guys, and having already had major network TV exposure could be considered a little experience

I mean, I never knew what a radio programmer was even after recording for 5 years in a professional studio. Does the general public really need to know what a programmer is?Do they need to know that these guys are deciding what they listen to every day? (perhaps) Are you just blowing smoke up these guys arses?
Making music should be magical.
I can only see that this kind of program is going to influence people in making considered music.

of course I havn't seen it yet, and I apoligise if I'm jumping the gun, but seeing that its squeeze, i can only assume its quality and intelligence.

Of course I'm speaking as a non musician here, but it seems to me that if you're making something that you want to take to a larger audience, it makes sense that you learn somethign about that process. If you're making recordings to listen to in your bedroom, or play to your friends or just at live gigs or whatever, that's fine, you can stay in your bedroom, but if you want radio airplay, shouldn't you spend a little time finding out about it? I'm not trying to start the whole commercialism debate again, but I think knowing where you're going and coming from is a good thing. Unless it's like finding out what's inside your sausages, of course.

Go vegan and play cos you have too. Solves both problems...

great to see an informative reality based show turned into fiction
