I dunno, but being from nelson, auckland pretty much freaks the crap outta me. That place is way bigger than any city has the right to be. I know that whenever I dust off my ole banjo and whiskey jug, I feel just fine getting down and scungy in wellys or the church. Fuck nelson man, this place is a hole, I think that Dave and the PHAT are the only thing keeping the population up and the suicide rate down. and Even at times when we have had a stack of talent here waiting to bust out there just hasn't been the population mobilisation to get behind them. Any act worth their salt and posessing more than one neuron per member would do well to get the fuck outta here.
That wouldnt happen to be the one where they crank down the hydroslide in nelson, would it? I cracked up when I saw it. going down without one of those slipperey mats they give you is suicide for the gluteus maximus, last time i wound up with an ass like a sex slave on a russian trawler operating out of vladivostok.
oh, and as a consumer i reserve the right to make judgements on what I think to be shit or not shit. and I also recognise the right of others to do the same thing. hell, who gives a shit? falter have their fans, they're big boys (or at least I thought so till I read the reply to the first post) personally, i think falter are shit. i think they were one of the least creative bands in the rockquest finals history. glen and pete do a great job, but i think its a shame that winners are often picked on their radio friendliness.
of course, i dont really give a nepalese brain slug, falter fans can carry on their support. as long as they have that they wont fail. but will it last?
sweet jesus fuck!!!!!!!!!!! i cant believe you boys made an album. jolly well done! you don't suppose i can track one down from here in switzerland? or do i need to come back? dont think that i wont! anyway, gives me huge orgasms to hear that you're tearing melbourne a new ringpiece, you sure have come into your own since those heady rockquest days. cant wait to see you guys again,. rock and fuckin roll.
The thing that gets me is that they are acctually rewarding people to sing other peoples songs and be on tv and all because its whats gonna make them big money, pre fabricated pop, meanwhile there are musicians all over new zealand writing their own material and really have a love for it and are working really hard to make a dollar in this business while these "pop stars" are doing fuck all apart from singing other peoples songs and making big bucks off of it.
oh, and oasis did a fucking mean cover of day tripper once.
i thought limp bizkit did a good job of faith as well.
yeah, its definitely the power system that gets at me. most of the yanks i know are good bastards.
just having a rant man, you know how it is. if i really gave a shit, i'd do something about it.
sumo suits. and i reckon nelson needs more venues. new zealand needs less rugby. new zealand needs less dipshits. new zealand needs to legalise 'it'. new zealand needs a new flag. new zealand needs to stop wiping americas ass. new zealand needs a national anthem thats a bit less crap. new zealand needs to stay g e free. new zealand needs to stand up and realise how much wicked music we have in this country, fuck america, i mean theres so much talent here that i havent even heard yet! come on team lets make it happen. or i'll eat your foetus.
its true. america is one of the most fucked up countries on this planet. i think it must have the highest proportion of complete and utter morrons per capita in the world, not to mention a greed driven economy and a government of orwellian proportions to match. america is a prime example of democracy gone wrong. now i'm getting to the bit which fucks me off the most:
theres piss-all anyone can do about it. they've got their thumb on the world, on the media, and on each and every one of us. our only hope is that they'll go the same way as the roman empire. bring on the apocalypse!
theres a dream i've been having for as long as i can remember. it doesnt happen all the time but maybe a few times every year.
a whole bunch of random shit happens, then i find myself swimming to the bottom of the sea. i get to the bottom and just as i am about to black out from lack of air i realise i can breathe underwater.
thye best part is that i always have just enough time to realise how fucking cool it feels before i wake up. happens the same every time.....
.............and barfs on my shoes. then i realise that the snake is actually one of my arms and i'm talking to myself again. my head does a 180 and standing behind me is a four-headed spliff with athlete's foot and a tennis racket. now i'm the tennis racket and the snake is my strings and the spliff is.............
heres a little rhyme I wrote:
"lick my scrot, its all you've got"
thank you.
I just think that hip hip is american music, not new zealand music. i mean, its inevitable that sounds from other places will influence nz music, but that doesnt mean we should just copy what they do. personally, i would far rather go and see someone like che fu (hip hop beats but with a wicked kiwi sound you wont hear anywhere else) than another gangsa-rap clone like deceptikonz. you can already buy so much that sounds like them in shops, the only difference is that they come from auckland. never mind the fact that mareko flew to america to record HIS album. 'new zealand hip hop' my ass.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
that rules.
yeah, i love it when you're doing something in a dream, and in the dream you think about other stuff, and then it happens........Woah, this discussion's for trippers!
hmmmmmm, let me see.............more hip hop you say? I reckon there's enough same-sounding shite out there already. how about something new and interesting?
When 8 Mile came out, lots of people thought it would be great to have lots more mc battling. Now its just been completely thrashed and I think we're all sick of the eminem clones.
........"fuck all you gun-totin' hip gangsta wannabes"..........at least we're not in LA
word
that reminds me of Full Metal Jacket: "This is my rifle...There are many like it but this one is mine. Then the mental guy blows the drill seargent away before painting the lav wall with his own brains.
Isn't Daniel Beddingfield originally from NZ?? 'Cause I don't think the shite he makes is NZ music at all!!!!!!! How can a kiwi write 'NZ' music if he's hardly ever lived in the fucking country?? New Zealand music comes from the people who LIVE here and who can consider themselves part of our culture. If you've grown up here then those experiences and influences will come out in your music. If you're a kiwi but you grew up in, say, London, and made an album there, then I'm sorry but that counts as english music.
