  • Random Play: It's Kiwi music, but not as…,

    Tim Finn - Barry's Haka - The delightful tale of the elder Finn's classmate Barry. He was prone to stop and perform a Haka every time the school notices were read out and Te Awamutu primary teams had won a weekend sporting fixture. Years later when Tim brought The Herbs on board to re-record the tune, they decided to rework the lyrics somewhat to keep the Maori theme, but change focus from Barry to Te Whiti.

  • Hard News: Hobbit Wars,

    @David. The two movies cover The Hobbit and beyond leading up to the events of The Fellowship of the Ring, using Tolkein's notes and bits and pieces from his other Middle Earth stories to guide the plot.

    At least, that's what I understand.

    ^ Wow!

    The whole Rock n Roll Hall of Fame 25th anniversary show is a hoot.

  • Hard News: The Munter and the Munted,

    1st ad break and... Holy fuck!

    We're back baby!

    Mind you, we have a 16yo Japanese student with us for a fortnight, and I think he's learned a new word or two (and other things besides).
