T-Dub

I have total and utter faith that we will win the World Cup, playing against South Africa in the final.

Mark my words.

Because it would just be so amazingly stupendous.

I'll give you a perkynana if it includes wacky dirigibles

Oh that was terrible.

Encore.

NA!
I'm happy to be a fucking moron and keep "bic-hin"

All I really hope is that the loading time gets sped up a tad.

...but never ever comment! - you know who you are

*guilty*

I think most people stopped posting because it got too exclusive, too lefty and great topics got left to die quietly. Plus only about 7 people really felt comfortable posting anything and now you're all out of ideas.

The topics are boring and Jesuscrux scared everyone off

Also the server sucks.

Waaah.
I want NZM back to glory days.

See what I did there was a clever twist of a cliche, meaning its always quality.

I sure didn't screw up or anything.

No Sir

Hahaha!
Thats it, from now on I'm always going to be keeping a beady eye out for your posts Foal.
Quality over quality indeed

HA!

Urrrgh zoom 505's
I've known many a guitarist who rues the day they bought a Zoom pedal.
It's the fact it has no resale value that kills it; most people buy one when they start out and it does a middle of the road to crap job of doing effects but its all ok. Eventually you figure out what effects you like the best and buy stand-alones. You can't easily combine effects.
Jack of all trades, master of none. Still, I'd recommend one for the budding gat student so they get a taste of what effects they like.
But Zoom products seem pretty flimsy and trying to do too much for my liking

If you're not a lefty before 30, you have no heart; if you're not right by the time you're 30, you have no brain.

Peter Dunne= Heartless and brainless?

Though scorn shall rain down upon me, I really think this thread is a pile o' wank

I still think it's kinda funny that the anti-christian, left leaning majority on here is counter-balanced by one ACT-supporting manic depressive

Everyone is correct! Yay Everyone!

FWIW, Rise the New World is amazing!!

You know, it sure sucks not having anyone say anything.

Barring myself.

HI me in my band.

It does make me smile how damn determined RebelHeart is to get himself into debt.

But anyway, talking to a couple of mates of mine who are in a reasonably successful band, they remarked how much they had to compromise and "blandenise" their music to get their singles out there. NZOA basically tries to select commercially viable tracks, which they have to sell to our only real radio station, the edge. The edge only takes a few songs per category and those catergories are very non specific; any alternative (basically anything not RnB, Hiphop or pop) gets classed as pop rock. They also don't categorise NZ music either. This means bands like Goodnight Nurse are up against The White Stripes, Radiohead, All American Rejects, Arctic Monkey for example. But of course, the edge doesn't play much of that stuff so theres a pool of about 5 songs. So NZOA has to provide the most "radio-friendly" song they can so it might get played. Most of the songs you hear sound like a bland rip-off of another band's song ( a la 48May Vs Bowling for soup), stuffed full of hooks but polished so much its a big slippery piece of shite that slides by inoffensively.

I see a bit of a cycle here, big radio stations not playing the New Zealand song -> Only accept the stuff that sounds like the overseas stuff thats already playing on big radio station -> band compromises song to be inoffensive polished turd -> song sounds like a crap version of everything else -> no demand for nz song -> radio station not playing nz song...
A good example of a band who found the secret code to get funding and then a record deal is Goodnight Nurse, who have released exactly the song about 5 times in a row, who stole their ideas off 48 May anyway.

I guess I just wish that both NZOA and especially the big NZ stations would take bigger chances; why do they think they're allowed to play safe most of the time, when radio stations overseas fight each other to be the first to break "the next big thing", often getting it wrong? You don't make much $ by backing the favourite horse everytime

Aye, and I never said a low hum was indie?

Biased git that I am

Tony's Theme by The Pixies

_____________________________________________

This is a song about a superhero named Tony
It's called Tony's Theme

He's got the oil in the chains for a ride in the rain
No baloney
Ride around on my bicycle like a pony
I'm waving hi, hi, hi, hi, hi
G-g-g-gimme the speed
Gimme, gimme me the beat
Of Tony

To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny

I can't talk, super bicycle time, I'm racing
Spitfire turn and pop a wheelie, burn and evil chasing
I'm waving bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
I got a card in my spokes
I'm practicing my joke, I'm learning

To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny

This is a song about a superhero named Tony
It's called Tony's Theme

I can look at the sun, if you give me some bad
Sun glasses
Back on the road, I cut my grass like I'm told
After classes

To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny
To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny
To-ny

Everyone else might as well give up
For my name is Tony and I AM a superhero

When the bus Pulled into Wellington, I was the last to disembark
Someone superglued me to the back seat in the dark
Lucky I'm well used to this sort of damage, On My Arse,
it seems my life is nothing but one tremendous farce.

So I was walking along the street and a cinderblock
With an image of jesus on his knees and sucking cock
Suddenly fell at my feet from out of the sky
I don't know what I'd send back in reply.

I think I'll edify for a month

Ha!!!
Thats awesome!
However, your other video of someone getting 5million points on Tony Hawk 3 appealed more to the playstation addict teenager that still lurks within me
