Can journalism survive the internet?, in reply to Public Address Radio,
Oh. good. I am currently reading this for reviewing.

here’s one I wrote at 21 (obscure Sufjan reference)
I get it. I think there is an immediate and pressing need for a Sufjan Stevens love-thread. What a fucking amazing show.

I will alert Jacinda Adern to this discussion as she will be interested in it.

@DeepRed. Good comments. There was also the complicity of academia in the whole mess, which might be an an argument of expelling business schools from universities.

@ Jackie; if it was Bill Nighy, it would probably have been 'Glorious 39', which unintentionally a comedy, Nighy splendidly miscast, and generally a load of old (British) tosh.
I have just been to The Inside Job, a doco which everyone should get to. -
Black Swan. Hmm. I look forward to Craig's appraisal but I have been interested in my beloved and my daughter's response. I thought that it was rather a thin tale, held together by Natalie Portman's performance. Her slippage into pyschosis seemed rather implausible but Josephine and Catherine Rose reckoned it rang true in respect of young girls, striving for perfection, smothering mothers and self-harm (the last a regular theme in Aronofsky's films?)

@Melanie. A convincing argument. As far as the Fathers Rights thing, you would have been entitled to drop a brick on their CD player from some height. Arrogant bastards!

Jackie has been defeated by the rain out Kumeu way but she is looking at another date for a picnic later in the month. We will take our pecan pie and lunch by the Waikato instead and think kindly of you all.
I am up for the Sufjan Stevens concert at the BMC on Monday night. Might see one or two or three of you there?
@Danielle. I am surprised--for someone with impeccable taste, you hate Magnolia? It is such a savagely sad movie.

Incidentally, if anyone wants a lift to Kumeu tomorrow, for the pick-nicker, we could pick up a passenger or two between Hammy and the NW Motorway.

A little difficult to comprehend that locals didn't know about Laneway--a bit like ten acre lifestyle farmers complaining about agricultural smells.
The latest Yen magazine (I buy it for my daughter!) has a cover-mount CD of Laneway bands.
