yeah and they look startled - they've been caught in the act !

hi, mine'll be a coke and bourbon... i've found this great yahoo group called 'NetAudio'. basically, it sendsout info on new netlabel releases - which are all free. It focusses on electrnic music , and since i've been on it my music collection has exploded in size...every day some spotty glitch geek sends you his/her latest ep, in fact it's too much. it rules, i just downlooaded this hour long Grime mix..you just need a yahoo id set up to join. honeslty, you get cd quality mp3s sent striaght to you on a daily basis. i've become an instant dj. and its all up-to-date contemporary stuff, mainly out of Germany. so fuck ,just a tip. heres the link:

and so it continues...until ownership is in the hands of ONE all powerful entity.

caught 'ABC' for the first time the other night - had never heard ov the duo until then ------how cool are they?? great to see kiwi groups aim high and international...i wish them well on their tour!
minimalism and punk-dance is the future

so they delete me. just trying to elaborate on a release by a new zealand artist. 'Inner City Guitar Perspectives', Flying Nun, 1996 is now purchable as a download

theres heaps of right wing bands - usually skinhead/whitepower - may they all die early deaths.
power to the left, power to anarchy, power to the anti-capitialists of the music industry.

Alot of underground new zealand music is craved for on a big scale in the northern hemisphere, especially the US. I've had releases there, press there, my god i got fans there. Why don't i just go there. no, i can't afford it and gee, we don't know how lucky we are here. It is totally plausible to make a living off your music if you are canny with the net. Theres software available now that allows you to sell your music as a download via paypal anywhere, anytime. There are copious email groups one can join to popularize your music. If you have a decent enought product, it is very likely you could make a humble living off selling it online. I'm workin on it right now, soon enough the world will be able to buy my 65 cd backcatalogue as a friggin download. Ewww, more crude. ewwww. ewwwwwwww.
I think NZ has an excellent infrastructure in place for its music, but I don't think traditional methods of promotion and sales pay off. Theres a new system comin', totally indie, totally artist controlled, totally global. The proliferation of music like this is perhaps one of the only positives to emerge from 'globalisation'.

Hi. Theres a new Crude catalogue out now, playin' a release party at the Crown this Friday in Dunedin....direct input lap-top noise. $2 entry.
