Inappropriate Video Dancing

Oops, I misread, I thought you were talking about We Built This City... I read "artist lowpoint" and assumed that's what you must be thinking of.

Inappropriate Video Dancing

I love/hate/love the nasty DX7 bassline in that track. FM synth sounds are making such a big comeback... scary. Love how hypocritical the song is too, all the bad boy "rock will never die!" posturing over the most blatantly un-rock'n'roll music ever. Cracks me up.

I like Alt TV

Lupe Fiasco's Superstar is amazingly ace.

can't seem to figure out why

Yeah, trying to put as little rock music on this site as possible, hoping it'll force those who like rock to pull finger.

Thanks for the fix.

Reforming Electoral Funding Laws

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. Excellent primarily because it's using heaps and heaps of first-hand footage by the documentary makers who were in the palace at the time of the coup and contrasting it with what was seen on TV.

Don't watch it if you don't want to see people being shot in the head in the middle of a demonstration. Real blood's not much like action movie blood, eh?

can't seem to figure out why

Coolness.

Cunting thing still happening, happens every single time I post, whether it's a comment, new blog post, new wiki entry or updated wiki entry. Currently finding this to be the case using Firefox 2.0.0.11 under OS X 10.4.9.

Reforming Electoral Funding Laws

Recently watched the excellent doco those two Irish guys did where they were in Hugo Chavez's palace at the time of the coup to oust him, this kind of rousing of "middle NZ" seems very similar to what the big business interests did there.

Malty Media - new WGN chill out evening hosted by Aquaboogie & Jet Jaguar

On Wednesday 21st November, 7-9pm, veteran noodlers [[Aquaboogie]] and [[Jet Jaguar]] kick off their free chill out evenings as Malty Media. Expect a loose and live mix of drifty electronic business, road-tests of their latest tunes and dubbed out oddities from their travels. Jet Jaguar's 2003 album 'Jet Jaguar Is Love' has just been rated as one of the best New Zealand albums in Grant Smithies' new book Soundtrack. Check their free online EP for some idea of what to expect. http://www.maltymedia.co.nz

Pierre Omaar - nicest sounding 80s electro action coming out of NZ

Be aware it's very much on the Italo disco kinda tip... probably far too many helpings of cheddar for some.

Pierre Omaar - nicest sounding 80s electro action coming out of NZ

This originally appeared on the net years back, but I'm very glad to see that Wellington label Angry Rabbit have put out Pierre Omaar's Contretemps again, with the help of dearest Archive.org. Free downloads of the whole album...

http://www.additiverich.com/angryrabbit/archives/002197.html

I reckon it's superb, some of the most fun, least-shit NZ music I know of.

can't seem to figure out why

It's the web browser I'm using, plus operating system. Some websites don't work the same way under different browsers.

can't seem to figure out why

Also when I posted the above reply. Blank screen, go back, refresh page, logged out. Ah well.

Firefox 2.0.0.6 under XP.

can't seem to figure out why

Yeah, I get booted when I post a new topic. Also when I update something in the wiki.

Disasteradio

Man, this vid for Awesome Feelings definitely does the trick. Had me laughing out loud on multiple occasions.

I loike it.

The Shocking Pinks

Turns out several years down the track these guys have just signed an album (compiling bits of the last two NZ releases) to DFA's label / EMI imprint. Weird world.
