Did you know? In 1975 the United Nations general assembly passed a resolution declaring "zionism is a form of racism & racial discrimination" (the resolution was revoked in 1991 because Israel made this a condition of its participation in peace talks)

💯 Govt finances are actually already benefiting from GST on prescribed marijuana though it's a fraction of what there would be if we actually acted like adults about it all instead of this backwards rubbish.

"Water Music" reviewed by @derekwalmsley.bsky.social in the latest issue of @thewiremagazine.bsky.social

"Kraus: Water Music

Artsy DL/MC

You hear familiar patterns in a lot of solo synthesizer music, especially after the resurgence of modular systems: neat glistening globules of sound, flurries of arpeggios, and lots of hypnotic repetition. It can be enchanting but also carry the air of a technical demonstration, with echoes of a prodigious young pianist demonstrating their scales for teacher. What makes the music of New Zealand's Pat Kraus distinctive is an emotional directness, a frankness that manifests in wistful melodic lines that wander and pause, all of it carrying a compellingly human sense of agency and vulnerability."

"The inspirations behind Water Music, which was made with an analogue and digital pair of Elektron synthesizers, include birds, forests, gardens, the music of Francesco Cavaliere and the films of George A Romero. The album cover shows a little hut at the shore of an idyllic lake, but a blue dome and pyramid-shaped snowy mountains in the background give an uncanny sense of dream logic or (inevitably) the unsettling juxtapositions of AI.

"Home In The Mountains" and "The Floating World" use the same formula of a..."

"repeating pattern cycling through different chords underneath, and a lingering, solo line, perhaps improvised, over the top. It's the kind of charming economical format you hear on the intro scheme to a computer game, and there's a strong echo of the micro symphonies of Artsy labelmate Maiju Jouppi's 2023 album Of Epic Proportions. Titles like "Century Of The Elf", "Princess From The Moon" and "The Woodcutter's Tale" deepen the vibe of a fantasy or computer game realm, the latter suggesting an outtake from the Commodore Amiga's Shadow Of The Beast universe."

"Back in the 2000s Kraus's music emerged on DIY labels like Ultra Eczema and Celebrate Psi Phenomenon, and was encrusted with cheap distortion units and tape murk. Since then, his music has evolved a kind of intimate, fragile beauty, and like The Skaters, he's become an expert at producing unearthly exoticism from the most modest of means. The emotion of Water Music is all the more moving for being hard won.

Derek Walmsley"

Great review. Even when there genuinely was a wide range of music media, getting in The Wire was premium recognition, top of the pile business. In 2026 where it's almost the only worthwhile one left standing, even more so. 💐💐💐 🫡

And there it is: voting for Opp is voting for National or someone not Labour. The fact he even engaged with the question - during an election campaign! - shows a breathtaking degree of incompetence that would be a liability if part of a coalition government.

I hate how we're being prepped for this as if it's inevitable. Nats pretending it's fiscally irresponsible not to, Labour as if they're taking a bullet for us by not. We spend well below the OECD average. It's only the greed of the 1% that makes this a financial issue, like everything else. #nzpol

If RNZ wants to win back more listeners, they need to try and win back women. Instead, too many of their leading women have gone. Mihi, Susie, Mani Dunlop etc. Lisa Owen and Kathryn Ryan must be wondering when the axe will fall. RNZ likes it women presenters to be charming, non-threatening (cont)
