Closest I got was seeing the (one man version of) Gate at the Cave on Fanshaw St in about 1993 or 1994 (I saw Trash down there at about the same time, it was a long time ago now).<BR/><BR/>A missed Alastair Galbraith on Nat Radio but caught the end of Roger Shephard at the weekend, Crystallator by Dimmer is so good I had to dig out my 45 of it (to be a bit pedantic I thought it was on SubPop, but there you go).<BR/><BR/>A friend & I drove down to New Plymouth, Palmerston North & Wellington to see the Peter Jeffries/Alastair Galbraith/Sandra Bell show that toured those three towns (sounds like a trip to hell doesn't it) and that was fantastic. Esp talking to Alastair at the bar in Palmy when he said how amazed he was that some guys were down from Auckland the night before, he hadn't realised we had follwed them further...<BR/><BR/>If you ever see it, I can't recommend more highly the CD compilation Xpressway Pile-Up (I missed the tape version) what magic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-1164674818057774022006-11-28T13:46:00.000+13:002006-11-28T13:46:00.000+13:00However in the book called "The Hollow Men", it wa...However in the book called "The Hollow Men", it was good to see that Bruce (the great plagiarist) was there for Don Brash when his advice was needed.<BR/><BR/>As I recall, Bruce was teaching how to link conservative moral policy with more votes. <BR/><BR/>He learned this from his days at Maxim - how to link the "think" from donors to Maxim, to increased funding by donors.<BR/><BR/>I think we should take a vote - does everyone agree that Bruce should be included as a hollow man in the Hollow Men.<BR/><BR/>It is also good that the media is emphasising that Bruce is director of Maxim. Maxim should be correcting the media but they are on something of a roll at the present.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-1164665296170133892006-11-28T11:08:00.000+13:002006-11-28T11:08:00.000+13:00Great to see you have a blog!

It will be a lot more profitable than GST- as long as plaguarism is defined as sinful! <BR/>Since you more-or-less took out the maxims... (not that they will go away) there's been an almost alarming silence from that front. I work alarmingly near, and sometimes stroll through the school, but their devilish work is always well-hidden. <BR/>Anyway- heartfelt thanks for that- and, again: great blog!robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11518548366478775367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-1164641271209213852006-11-28T04:27:00.000+13:002006-11-28T04:27:00.000+13:00Paul..When you get around to it, could you please ...Paul..<BR/><BR/>When you get around to it, could you please kick off a thread on the aptly entitled Hollow Men.

What's the link between avant-garde Flying Nun bands and the 3rd generation welfare? Firstly, no one in a Flying Nun band has ever had a proper job, avant-garde or not, and almost all of them has depended on the nanny-state to foster their bizarre and anti-social behaviour through the DPB, and, under the Helengrad (or is that Helen-garde) regime, the despicable artists benefit. The latter not only assists, but actually encourages these disgusting, long-haired, sweater-wearing miscreants to make horrible noise, rather than nice songs that everyone wants to listen to, like those nice lads from the Feelers. The more records they don't sell, the longer they can stay on the dole, so the state is fostering this kind of activity.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, there is no secondly. It all ended up in the firstly. But we can solve the whole problem through these simple nine steps:<BR/>1. Every band must have a name with an immediately obvious meaning, that doesn't reference anything morbid.<BR/>2. No artist benefits entitlements to drummers sleeping in the living rooms of lead singers.<BR/>3. Bands not allowed to tour the indie circuit in the US while stablemates are still stuck in Sandringham.<BR/>4. All musicians to attend music school. Failure to do so will result in KA bartab being cancelled.<BR/>5. All record collections to be regularly audited by More FM programmers, to check palliability of influences.<BR/>6. Random alcohol and drug checks of electro-acoustic musicians.<BR/>7. No drone artists permitted to perform in same venue as impressionable teens.<BR/>8. I can't be bothered doing the last two.<BR/>9. See 8.<BR/><BR/>Now, if we can just get in a swipe at Grey Lynn and some academic (we don't like academics), you'll see how a television performance of an obscure experimental band from Dunedin is completely relevant to some right-wing moralising about incredibly complex issues of poverty and dependency in New Zealand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
