Hard News: First, admit it's broken, in reply to Chris Waugh,
I had a gander at it yesterday and it worked fine.

Hard News: First, admit it's broken, in reply to Jan Farr,
Yes, it seems impossible to register with the site.

Because David B is one day older than me, I have been treading on his heels all my life. Where Are We Now? is great but could be longer,
Another remarkable return is Nick Cave's new album, which is currently top-seller in NZ,

Capture: Someone, Somewhere, In Summertime, in reply to JacksonP,
Must add those screenings to my website. Currently sitting in the sun on Cuba Mall, after visiting the newish Light House Cuba on Wigan Street, after the obligatory stop-off at Slowboat Records (in Wellington, to deliver my daughter to university).
Wonder how I spot PA types in the passing parade....

Don't really know this band but I am going to the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion at the King's A--largely on spec, after hearing a Music 101 interview, . Are they good?

So, if a cyclists are to be made to wear garish high-vis clothing, it should be compulsory for car drivers to wear dark glasses? So hard to coordinate with any other clothing, so mine spends most of its life hanging off the handlebars.
The most useful accessory is a bell, to warn folk you are coming up behind them--and a rear-vision mirror too.

Rather off the topic but as we are referencing journalism (of sorts) here: I am involved with Grant Hannis and James Hollings (Massey, Wellington) in the NZ leg of the international Worlds of Journalism research project. There has been a survey circulating around NZ newsrooms/organisations over summer, but if you have missed this,, you can go to the SurveyMonkey site, and spend 15 or 20 minutes sharing your thoughts and experiences.
We will probably close this off in a couple of weeks but it would be great to have some of the journalists lurking around these parts to be part of the research (I am thinking of you, Megan!) You will all have my eternal gratitude.

Girls Songs got good exposure on Music 101. A bright spot on National Radio on a Saturday afternoon,

This really is a distraction from more pressing and serious matters. I fear that it might only increase sales of Wishart's horrible magazine (which I always shift to the comic section in magazine displays).
Prosser (aka Tosser) is a well-known fruitcake and we should just ignore him.
