hi, loving the radio to bits, but you know how I am a lazy old bag who loves links and needs nzm to tie my shoe laces.... to help me in exploration of newer new zealand music it would be cool to have under the name of track in the now playing box a link to the artists page so I could read up on them as I heard something that peeked my interest.... there seems to be no link from radio.nzmusic.com to this site at all, or can you get to the radio only from this site in the first place?

seriously, try the national programe, they do some really good stuff during music month, if past years are anything to go by, and a lot of it is contempery, and you don't have to put up with silly anonusers and stupid advertising

I hope teina doesn't mind me cutting her post over to this forum but if you are still confussed by Funkybitches comments regarding Anika Moa writting her own songs

please read this:-

// Just to confirm for you guys; there is no Abigail at Universal Music in New Zealand and funkybitch's comments are in no way associated with Universal Music.
teina

and if you don't know who teina is go read her bio

// I love The kings arms. IT is fucking the best venue in NZ i would say.

Andrewww your comment got a bit lost in where it was...... The Kings Arms where is it?

Thanks for the lyric link you are right they do have a clear meaning debs nite out reads like a cooler version of don't take you love to town LOL@Nana it's getting late and I am getting squirrelly look forward to more research learning later in the day

first three disclaimers

A... I apologize to all NZM members who don't want to read this type post... it's not my fault
...I) if you have opened this topic and read this post you had a pretty good idea of what you would find
...ii) that this post appears on the main forum page I have no control over that

B.. If I quote a post or a forum that you put up I am using it to make a point... not to criticize you

C.. if you find the wording of this post too legalistic tuff toenails because this IS the way I talk and I'm not changing it for anyone no matter how much they swear at me

Right now for the fight....

Nibbles in your opening argument you said that you want to see topics about quoting from sub-heading for general forum// General - Anything and everything about New Zealand music.
You did not want to see random non musical topics like and I quote again// not anorexia, religion and the colour of your poo this morning - piss offf. Woof.

I find the examples that you chose to highlight interesting....
Why did you not choose to quote from

I will leave you to think about that for a moment while I continue with MY argument

What is it with following / calling on 999natas999 all the time it reminds me of a demented little Boris Carlos Character " master master look at me I'm barking again.... oooh master that was soo good how you have shot them down can I gnaw on the bones.
// "get off your condescending pop psych pedestal, prick"... 999natas999 - your call buddy. ....
like you were expecting him to turn up and support you...
He did turn up about 12 hours later with this post

//Oh for fuck sake.... what a bunch of whining little pussies.

Jesus!!!! Get a grip, harden up and get over it!!!!

If you can't handle a few nasty words on a computer screen then your life is going to be really difficult.

Bunch of PUSSIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
999natas999

it doesn't seem that supportive, and I wonder at the use of PUSSIES as an indication of support for someone who identifies as a big tough looking dog.

I don't think 999natas999 is anyone's // buddy..... he just rolls around the forums calling it as he sees it and even though I don't always agree with him or feel comfortable with some of the things he says at least he is consistent

where as you Nibbles are not,
You are nothing but a play ground bully picking on little kids and old ladys while sucking up to the cool kids and more scary bullies

and if I may quote you yet again
// If you get on the stage, and you suck, be prepared for the hecklers. That's life. //again, fuck off with your wankery.

oh and by the way I too have

// learnt to skip all posts by certain members almost unconsciously in recent times.
it's NOT // sad but maybe to be expected.

ok let's get into one of the reasons NZM is here to educate members right? and I am taking a huge risk in asking this

There has been alot of talk on the forums of late about musical snobbery..... well i missed the whole Shihad thing...... because i was far too mature to take any notice of a group of skinny kids from welly town... don't scream at me.... just take it as a lesson to keep your ears open to everything...

Any way I see the passion this band evokes in alot of you and I concluded that I need to take another look and as you have said they aren't on the radio that much.... where do i start?

Answer this question for me if some wanted to develope their knowlege of this band which Album which track/s should they start with?

if you are on line now please turn on TV2 Shihad is going to be interviewed live from LA by phone, if you aren't into Shihad sorry for interupting

Funkybitch has been exposed as an complete fraud, we lovers of Anika Moa can relax and continue to enjoy in peace

i love my leather jacket and I WEAR IT ALL THE TIME

I Love My Leather Jacket - The Chills.

oh and while am asking for favors, is there a tricky, easy way to get a picture added to my bio if i don't have a web site?
i fully understand why we can't just e-mail them to you 3250 members times mmmmmm bites...... any way you would have to have a bloody Univac (Old SF referance and i don't care if the modern geeks don't get the joke we old nerds do)

you know how you can go from the artist bio page to the artists form by clicking on more comments ..........
ran away to check something......... ok there is a link from forums to artist bio
could the internal links please be bigger and more obvious

and i know i can search the news forum, but can you search the general??
I thought of this because i have been watching the post go up about the shihad name change in at least three different topics/forums and I was thinking how neat it would be if all shihad (or who ever) stuff was "linked"
