@secondzeit He certainly did. SCRUM meetings were occasionally held upstairs in the university union building. Such was the dissension back then, I had friends who were members. The result was an interesting dynamic when marching while the same friends booed me from the footpath!

Very sad to learn of the death of my former colleague & indefatigable ‘old school’ journalist Nicholas Boyack. My condolences to his whānau & friends. thepost.co.nz/nz-news/360490…

John Pain's superb profile of Stuart Page caused quite a flurry yesterday. But wait, there's more: we've just published Stu's choice of photos from his personal collection, with stories about each one. audioculture.co.nz/articles/stuar…

@SlowBoatRecords @samuelsmith1988 I have to agree - normally Brian Eno would be the right decision. ☹️

The first three Coldplay records were actually good. Then Chris Martin wanted to be Bono and it all went south.

@SFFANZ_News That makes sense. I'll be going to the website from now on. Keep up the good work!

@SFFANZ_News Do tell - as it’s not obvious to everyone.

@secondzeit Wish I still had my 'Death to Disco' badge I bought in 1979, despite the fact I still love Disco.

Getting ready to play Wellington. Yesterday I had the pleasure of dining with both flights of the Conchords- lunch with Brett and dinner with Jemaine. Lucky chap eh?

@AudioCultureNZ Mark's nailed it. I listened to it for the first time in ages, and it holds up so well after 30 years.

Here Fiona McDonald holds the brand-new reissue of Strawpeople's classic 1994 album Broadcast. As Mark Tierney says in their profile: “You could remaster most of the Broadcast era, with a pinch of Worldservice...and release it to positive reviews today” audioculture.co.nz/profile/strawp…

@secondzeit I still can't get over this unrealised Danny Mulheron collaboration with Peter Jackson. faroutmagazine.co.uk/peter-jacksons…

Fixed it. 😉

🤔

First it was vinyl, then cassettes & now…

@secondzeit @BFI Those are all great films. However, I don't think any male teen in 1979 with hair that long kept it looking that clean and well-groomed. Or was that just in Christchurch? 🧐
