Love that, despite lurching into this post from other less pleasant posts, I was instantly able to latch onto (and agree with) this content.

I would love to have learned arranging from Bernie Allen - amazing. I met him once, briefly, as a student at CHCH Jazz School. Wildly impressed.

A unique sound on this album. On a week-long high school jazz workshop a few years later I met Jim and bought the (vinyl) album and a copy of The New Real Book - some kind of mail order thing involving him I thought, could be wrong.

Strategic recommendations abound for professionalism, execution and, like, thrusting. Definitely a mindset thing.

They are VERY enthused about it.

Country Calendar should be called Coloniser Pride. Every time I watch that show it’s ‘this farm has been in this family since 1870’ and I just think oh realllllllllly, whose was it for hundreds of years before then 🧐 and how did it come to be owned by this family 🧐🧐🧐

I have a trilogy of docos that are just the same for me. Ironically one is called Seriously Stressed. A difficult process, a nice tiny glimmer of pleasantness :)

Would be nice to hear this new note. I wonder what it is.

Yes very well-written article. “…two centuries of dispossession are filed under grievance” another potent quote.

I think this is logical, and I agree. I’m a fan of being alone (without wanting to imply any particular AMOUNT of being alone of course).

Yes! At the very least, your t-shirt is the walrus’s border (then, is Snoopy the walrus? Hand outstretched.)

That time when the most anti-environment Government in Aotearoa NZ's history decided it would be a good idea to disestablish 40 years of the Ministry for the Environment despite overwhelming rejection from submitters& no clear justification or assurance of ongoing transparency ☠️

Beautiful song. I loved hearing her sing it live at Whitecliffs in the early 90s

I thought this was ridiculous, assuming it might be in the U.S. - but here in NZ? Mind-blowing. Signed.

Thanks for checking about this, I had that exact question too, for that exact reason…

Yes indeed. I’m a fan of logic, but…

Evocative! Ha ha. Maybe next time I’m in a rehearsal with singers I could refer to ‘meat instruments’ (hmmm, only if they are very close friends, actually, no, there’s really only one I have in mind who’d remotely enjoy this)

I just a few minutes ago finished listening to the Tonebenders episode that featured the sound teams from it and the other Best Sound Oscar nominees - making me regret even more being absent from the party- not having had a chance to see any of them (except F1). Interesting episode though of course!

The current NZ Govt parties have opposed all efforts to reduce NZ's dependence on fossil fuels. All three coalition parties have received large donations from at least one oil company. They are making the climate crisis worse and the cost of living crisis worse.

Shane Jones shut down NZ Involvement in road map away from fossil fuels

Twerkers at the barbeque get priority parking 🫡

A handicap blue and white painted sign on the asphalt of a parking space. The symbols are meant to be a pregnant women and a baby stroller, but it doesn't look like that. It looks like pac man being killed with scissors next to a dancer

This is a "papers please" "English is the official language" "eat slop and be grateful" "disappear the unhoused" "women are second class" "don't learn real history" "local FBI office" government and we really cannot afford to be smug about other countries' slide to open fascism, Aotearoa

Fed Farmers: Let’s massively increase water and climate pollution. Greenpeace: No let’s cut pollution. Fed Farmers: Let’s compromise and just increase it somewhat. Greenpeace: no we must cut climate and water pollution. Right wing commentators: Greenpeace is so unreasonable.
