Shocking Pinks make Pitchfork front page

Well, I guess that answers my question. I don't even read pitchfork usually, it just makes me depressed. So there.

Shocking Pinks make Pitchfork front page

I wonder how many Kiwi bands have been the front 'page' review on here?

"One-man-band man and former Brunettes drummer Nick Harte's first DFA release is a 17-track, 45-minute compilation cherrypicked from two albums recorded for New Zealand's legendary Flying Nun, and it apes the scruffy, emotionally vulnerable indie that made that imprint famous. "

New Christian Political Party inspires confidence

It's all pretty hilarious, eh.

HELP!

Now there's a comment that's bound to cause some web hype.

jimi :: Mon, 2007-09-10 17:21

HELP!

Well, it's all over so I got rid of the details.

We came second, winning us $1000 worth of Puma gear. A bit of a step down from a world trip for four, but at least now I can fulfil my long-held dream of forming a whites-only krumping krew. Burgundy tracksuits, oh yeah.

Thanks for voting!

Good Laika + Age Pryor

So did anyone go to the gig at Mighty Mighty last night? Thoughts?

Good Laika have been my new favourite band for a while now, was great to see them live. Surprised to see Age Pryor doing so many covers considering he's just released an album.

Hey

I surely did. Golden. Such geekery makes me all a-flutter.

Hey

Speaking of which...

it's not like you to regard economic growth as a pure measure of societal wellbeing.

was there nothing funny about 1950's America either?

Actually, the last guy was more 'Spinal Tap gone wrong' than Crue-like.

This guy is much more appropriate.

Hey

Things I love about his site:

1) the massive rant about how much he hates humanity and then: "On an unrelated topic Julys Archives are up."
2) that I just learnt I live in the same suburb as the infamous Lucifer_Sam
3) that I'm not sure I really do, due to the nearly unintelligible sentence construction employed in each post

jeez it was just a suggestion sunshine, you don't think china has any material to satirise?

or are you trying to avoid being blocked from this site by The Man?

Kiwi guy singing heavy rock Chinese songs!

Can't listen to any of the music but the site looks AMAZING.

The lyrics to 'Come to Taiwan' especially.

My guy is fucking H-Core.

He could only be the worst in the sense that Motley Crue is the worst.

Daily Show and New Zealand

So I reckon the Daily Show has a Kiwi writer. How else would Jon Stewart so accurately describe Whangarei as a 'cultural backwater'?

Lyrical Lines that Just Don't Work

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Very tempted to click 'report as offensive' to this post. Roxette has great lyrics and I will not have anyone satirising, denigrating, or ridiculing them. Check it out and respect:

Hey, where's your work?
What's your game?
I know your business
but I don't know your name...
Hold on tight,
you know she's a little bit dangerous.
She's got what it takes to make ends meet
the eyes of a lover that hit like heat.
You know she's a little bit dangerous.

I WANT eyes that hit like heat.

Um, it's not working for me. Trying to upload a gif at 49x49 and 4k big. Just says my changes have been saved and then keeps this old dunger of a pic.
