aww crap.. anyone download a bunch of them when they were available and wanna share?
caressa.rocket@gmai.com if y'can help.. chuur ;)
I had a bit of a look round the site but I couldn't find all the real media music videos that sed to be up there ; / Do I just suck at looking (someone please do tell me if this is the case!) or have they been moved somewhere or gone bye byes off the net? they were choice! if they're gone would be cool if they could be put that up again or something like that. anyone know anything?
I turned 20 on the 5th and fuck it was great. hopefully camp will be on the same time next year so I spend celebrate my 21st in the same way!
..aww yeah also, does anymore remember who played 'smells like teen spirit'.. I was lying on a bed in a cabin and heard the intro riff so got up and went inside and it was awesome.. ended up onstage with a whole bunch of other people and the band who were ......
(cheers if anyone knows ;)
ps. go blink, sally and.. well everyone really.. go camp!!!!
smoke some grass and listen to 'Try Whistling This'? Good idea.
TWT has some pretty interesting sounds and songs on it. One Nil it beautiful.
www.loudmouth.co.nz is pretty good I reckon. Can search for gigs by band, week, month, town.. its updated a bit too which is sweet.
wednesday at the valve was pretty sweet ..out of it stuff having the band within metres and less than a metre up. bummer that Jon didn't know more of screwtop but fuck, it was pretty exciting for that short period..
sleater kinney on thursday were awwwwesome. carrie is fucking sweet!! kia ora heather, jon and trixie btw. was cool to see there was so many people at the show. a real good night it was ;)
as for the big day out:
the greenhornes were okay. some of the stuff sounded danceable/moveable to my ears and if I wasn't sitting down I mighta done that. wouldn't mind hearing a bit more to see if they're any good..
what I heard of pluto while waiting for the living end wasn't too bad. good ol' perfectly evil. the living end were alright. kinda learnt that when there's circle pits going on ya can get air simply by standing on the edges.. good stuff
left the living end before they finished to see sleater kinney again who were choice. annoying with the water people spraying the audience when it wasn't even hot/when people were simply waiting (it happened again later on as well ..grizzle.. oh well)
henry rollins talk was really cool. would be keen on hearing more from him. gonna try find some spoken word stuff as well as music he's been involved with
caught the tail end of shihad who were sweet for what I saw.
stooges were wicked. was a bit suck that the guy to my left and guy diagonally behind me to my right ended up on stage and I didn't but oh well... centre against the barrier was really fucken good. had a decent idea of what was going to be played and wasn't disappointed. mike watt went hard out. ron seemed pretty concentrated which was cool. can't remember much of scott..heh, do remember that his playing reminded me of the live in detroit performance though. iggy was good fun.. waving, dancing about and coming into the crowd..
generally a pretty cool day
ps. if anyone recorded any of the shows/sets that I've mentioned (apart from pluto) please drop me a line if your keen on trading. cher (caressa.rocket@gmail.com)
do you know if there's a way of contacting ALT tv (feedback via the website?) about the lack of titles? my aerial sucks and I don't even get tv1 but I've heard that comment about Alt tv before and thought it myself when I have caught bits of it at someone elses house.
hopefully it doesn't die before I get a decent aerial, it sounds kinda interesting.
oops, that was my post (stupid not noticing auto-login..and clicking the wrong reply button)
//I think some orientation controllers underesitmate their auidence and think they are ALL dumb fuck, booze hags, when there are plenty of people who do actually want to see something of interest and not just kill their brain cells on tui.
cher!
the idea that I woulda been part of the (general) target audience of a bomfunk mc's (non)-event if I still went to uni only makes me (that little bit) glader that I decided to stop going.
come on bomfunk cancellation gang of four replacement. come on...

// I actually enjoyed Murderdolls band in 2003
yeah same ..heh, I mean they were no Pearl Jam or anything but they were still good fun. lots of energy and an understandable distaste for the sun.
*extended grumble about second announcement* ..Sonic Youth, Pixies, Patti Smith ..where are you! seriously..how fuckin' cool would that lineup be... ; /)!
//you could post here for all of us if it isn't too big...//
that sounds like a cool idea
heh, regardless of who wins - cheers for sharing the story Nato! must've been awesome. anyway..
I'd seen set lists online that said Pacifier were (after several years) playing a bunch of songs off not only Killjoy but also Churn on their 2003 Aussie tour. Needless to say, I was definitely looking forward to seeing them when they came back to New Zealand.
All geared up for the show I was gutted to learn that the gig was gonna be at the St. James and thanks to licensing laws - R18. This fucked me off to no end as I was 16 at the time and had been hanging out to see Pacifier play. In my bitterness I wrote a letter to the St. James expressing (sans expletives) my disappointment that the show was preventing people who simply wanted to appreciate and experience live music from doing so. I reckoned there shoulda been a drinking area like the year before at the Oracle. grr..I'm not a big fan of business to begin with but the 'more revenue for the venue via alcohol sales = underage fans miss out' thing really pissed me off and still does. Not everyone wants to go get wasted and have trouble remembering what was played.
I even asked a mate whose mate.. (sound hopelessly familiar?) knew a security guy if he could get me in as had been done for him earlier in the year. As expected, nothing fruitful came of this and I was back to square 'aww shit'.
Despite feeling a bit deflated I still considered turning up, trying to get a ticket and walking in. The thought in mind being that the night was gonna be either reaal fuckin' great or reaal fuckin' shit.. I ended up winning tickets off the radio and felt a bit guilty that they were potentially gonna go to waste. Nevertheless, I left school early and caught a bus into the city. I was a little late to get a 'with the band' t-shirt but still managed to say hi to Tom who was outside talking to people and signing stuff.
When a mate turned up (who himself has a wicked Shihad story) I asked if he wanted to try find a way into the soundcheck. He said "why don't we just ask Tom" who was heading back towards the building entrance. We caught him up and awesomely he let us watch and listen from sidestage as they ran through parts of old songs that were going to be played that night. Some funny bastard yelled out "when did you guys get so commercial?" after they'd been hammering out Get Up and Derail. Julia Deans who'd turned up by this point echoed the joke with "pop n roll". It was pretty cool that everyone could laugh at this considering all the shit that'd been given for the name change and Pacifier album. After this my mate got his cd sleeves signed by Jon who was still around and then we went to wait.
The thoughts of how security was meant to be 'real tight' (which is why I couldn't be got in like the mate whose mate..) kinda got to me as I waited in line. This nervousness escalated a bit when I heard a guy yelling "tickets, ID, tickets, ID". I moved to the right (away from the guy) of my mate and his sister and walked in the door. I walked up to the next door, got my ticket ripped (by a guy who for some reason seemed familiar) and got my ass into the venue. I can still remember the mix of calmness, elation and excitement wafting over me. It was time for a piss..
Two Lane Black Top weren't too bad and Fur Patrol were sweet though it was clear who people had come to see..... SHIIIIIIHHHAAAAD..SHIIIHAAAAD...SHIIIIHAAAD. We chanted and chanted and chanted and eventally on they came. Interconnector!! Ghost from the Past!!! Gimme Gimme, The Call, Screwfuckingtop, Derail, Debs Night Out, MMS, TGE and finally Home Again. Watching Jon climb up and play on the stack was pretty amazing. I was waiting for him to jump but instead he carefully made his way around one of the upper levels, was lowered down in the middle and crowd surfed to the front; over the top of me, over the barricade and back onstage.
Afterwards we got drinks and went round the back so my mate could get Toms set list. Karl, Tom and Jon said hi, shook our hands and brought to end (well..we took the bus and went back to Kura after that.. but y'know what I mean) one of the best nights of my life.
hehe, the next day mates had to bang on my window to wake me up. They called the phone which they could hear from outside but I was gone.
Take a moral from this if ya want. I've enjoyed remembering the night, not letting stupid rules get in the way and will hopefully in part from this event be able to create similar memories for someone in the future. Whether that be by being the sweet cunt on the door who looks the other way, a stranger who walks up, hands you the set list and walks off (after Killing Heidi for me) or whoever.. Musics to be enjoyed and experiences like this are not to be forgotten much less prevented by anyones desire to accumulate money. Music comes first!!

//I know we have moved forward since what the 1950's and 60's but in that movie Jim Morrison is told he can't say "high" on the TV,but did anyway and when he said " fuck" on stage he was arrested for using profanity or something.
hehe ..HIGGGH ..do you know if this actually happened? ..and if so, as forthright as Jim in the movie said it?
//"we are all in love,...give me some of that stuff"
hmm, are they all viscerally miming anal sex? caue if they didn't want to change the lyrics then that would been a nice way of kinda nulling the censorship.
ohh, how was it? ..y'don't know if they're planning on coming up to auckland do you?
>>also....does anyone know if it is true that shihad are opening for foo fighters??
where'd you hear that? I wouldn't think so but if that happened that'd be great.
directed at parents at end of night:
"it was such a nice evening... and to think, if rohypnol didn't exist we probably never would've met. anyway take care"
too far?
