SOUNDS LOCAL
Check out this new MP3 blog, old local kiwi sounds. Could be onto something...
"An mp3-blog companion piece to thebigcity.co.nz - an archive of New Zealand music that attempts to reach the outskirts of obscurity." See http://thebigcity.blogspot.com/
"You heard of Nat King Cole? Well I'm his half brother, Charcoal." Prince Tui Teka.
I picked up a flyer for Te Papa's first online exhibition, on Maori Showbands, at maorishowbands.co.nz (requires Flash plugin). Well worth a look. Billy T James and Prince Tui Teka got their start in showbands.
O-Dub has an interesting take on news reports on the tsunami disaster...
"... I find it typical - and annoying - that some U.S. media outlets are doing what you might call National Death Rolls - last night, read in several places notes like, "3 Americans confirmed dead." That'd be 3 out of (at the time) 20,000 dead. Is national origin really that important at that point? Sports Illustrated relayed a ridiculous story about "swimsuit model surives tsunami." Seriously, they need to get out of here with that b.s."
Got any good new years resolutions? I'm working on some today.
