First saw him live opening for the Foos at Western Springs and remember thinking "holy shit that's a lot of noise from two guys". Saw Cairo Knife Fight again a couple of times, my favourite being at ReFuel in Dunedin where I was up front and he gave my nipple a friendly tweak.
i was looking forward to listening to this and now i'm going to have to steel myself in order to do so.

Devastated. He was genius. A wizard with a guitar. A live wire to interview. He was a gutsy, brilliant, beautiful human. I wanna hear all the Tokona stories.
Every. Single. One.
There is a lot of music to post and memories to share, but here is @SaturdayRNZ doing what she does best. Pulling back the curtains and letting the light in. rnz.co.nz/national/programme…
I've been thinking about this all day. nytimes.com/2020/04/23/magaz…

Does this mean in two years I'll be able to watch John Campbell and Susie Ferguson and Corin Dann and Hayley Holt on the radio in the mornings with Kim Hill filling in while people are on holiday? Are we keeping the birds to the pips?

Excellent from @publicaddress, who knows.
Just before an announcement by the Broadcasting minister that might render it all moot, here's my take on the RNZ controversy, having been thereabouts on these issues for a while. publicaddress.net/hardnews/r…

Wish I could write as good as this. I find myself hoping for a miracle today at the press conference via the @HelenClarkNZ effect and the public support. But I'm trying to keep myself in check.
RNZ is overhauling its music network, and a lot of people are mad as hell.

When I was asked to audition to narrate this show, I had the same trepidation that @alexkc felt “I was prepared to be wildly offended or deeply, irreversibly bored” But this little kiwi show is gold. This episode is great, but the best is yet to come.

We may sometimes feel that we can’t do much as individuals, but humanity is made up of individuals; we can make a difference. As individuals we can influence our own families. Our families can influence our communities and our communities can influence our nations.
Also delighted 😀
We’re delighted @BehanAlex will be on stage to interview Jeff Tweedy in Auckland. #awf2019

He's brilliant :)
I'd have loved a Hamilton show this tome around too :(
But I saw him at The Top Secret Comedy Club "practicing" Wunderbar, so that was fun :)
"...mushrooms!"
I got to write about a very cool human being. @eddieizzard you are one in a million! 🙌

Since March last year, Scribe has featured in articles at least a dozen times - more than one article per month - despite his alleged crimes being minor & it having been 10yrs since his last album.
Gareth Shute investigates the continued media obsession.

It's kind of like having a gossipy facebook chat but you have to watch your swears and meanness cos other people are reading. 😅

so for some reason @NZStuff have asked me to live blog the #GRAMMYs which is ironic because while i may be unemployed the Grammy's are utterly redundant. stay tuned for more hot takes here stuff.co.nz/entertainment/mu…
As a #GRAMMYs sceptic this should be quite interesting. 😂
