If someone's got a spare invite I'd love it!

I'm considering checking it out, but don't know much about the life of Jesus, etc...
Does the book assume that you know the background, or is it pretty easy to pick up along the way?

I went to high school with Matt Smithies. Nice guy, great guitar player.

Looks like Hotmail have increased their email storage now so that their customers don't bail on them

I could be totally and utterly wrong here, or maybe a bit behind as far as news goes, I dunno.

I remember Jon from Pacifier saying in an interview (can't remember which exactly) that their new album was going to be done with a 'mystery' New Zealand producer. I noticed today that on their website (under the heading National Anthem and NZ Music Month) that they are "jamming and recording new stuff - with Tiki from Salmonella Dub". Is he the 'mystery' producer with whom they are doing their new album with?

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

It wouldn't surprise me that it's a joke. It's pretty out there. And I found it on quite a reputable site.

Stumbled upon this whilst killing time today.
Does anyone else find this product utterly bizarre?

I particularly like the 'suspicious' person being photographed.

That's the impression I got from a doco on tv about a week ago on Reagan.

You could try the band's (whose shirt you're after) website. Real Snooty also sells a few, maybe try their website.

The middle-aged guy at the trades desk in the Wellington Real Groovy looks (and acts a lot) like the least friendly retail sales person in history. I don't even bother trading cds there any more. Slowboat normally offer you quite a bit more $$$ for your stuff and the staff are much friendlier.

Ran into this article a minute ago on the Apple website. Maybe this means they'll get some publicity on iTunes as well?

//And sure, pay rates are higher in Australia, but so is rent. And the good things cost more... ice-cream, wine etc. The bottles of Australian wine I buy in NZ for say NZD14 are about AUD16.
And something more reliable than my booze habits, wouldn't you know it, but Melbourne and esp Sydney are more expensive places to live than Auckland or Wellington.

I lived in Melbourne and paid $100 a week in rent for a place that is about 15 mins walk from the middle of the CBD, Melbourne Uni was on the corner of our street, it was a nice house too. It wasn't unusual to find a bottle of wine there for $5, and I even saw $4 wine every now and then. Beer is much more expensive from the supermarket. If you went to the markets there fruit and veg was about half the price it is in the supermarkets here. I found living in Melbourne FAR easier financially than living in Wellington.

How many people that rent a house in Oriental Parade do you think earn minimum wage?

c0tter : 11 March 2004 - 4:22pm

//considering the average pric eof a flat in Wellington is $160 (sometimes as high as $200 p/w)
It's normally about $110 a week. Don't know where you got this figure from?

c0tter : 11 March 2004 - 4:19pm

I was in Australia over the summer. I was getting paid $15 per hour plus commission plus superannuation. It wasn't a job that you needed to be qualified for. I am 21 years old. This type of pay there is not unusual as my flatmates were all getting at least just as much, one of them was getting paid $33 per hour working at a theatre at the ticket booth on a sunday. $33 an hour here for someone of his age is unheard of. It sux to come back here and get $10.
I don't know what the f**k is up with the wage system here. But it certainly explains the 'brain drain'.

I thought they sounded too quiet too. I'd never seen them before BDO and I wasn't too impressed. I couldn't really hear the guitars, I've noticed that with a lot of 'guitar rock' bands lately.

c0tter : 7 March 2004 - 11:18pm

Stumbled upon this one today.
You enter an artist/bands' name and it comes up with other artists/bands that are linked with them.
Come up with some interesting ones. ie. White Stripes - Norah Jones!?!
Hard to describe it, just try it out!

They're both signed to Sony, so they're both sucking some huge corporate cock.
