I’m assuming you are meaning motu as: island, country, land, nation, clump of trees, ship – anything separated or isolated. rather than cut or wound

Heavy Folk lore…
This story is hiding away on Stuff at the moment (ta Blair for pointing me to it)

I had to write in and get them to spell Paul’s last name correctly – how hard can it be with the album or internet at hand to get the basics right?
Not sure about the laboured baby-poo intro, and I never knew that Robert Scott had paws (an animal’s foot having claws and pads) – but otherwise an interesting talk with Bob.
The article omits to mention they have a gig in Switzerland as well (in Sion, not many NZ bands play there, I'd imagine).
Looks like a great European tour – I’m particularly impressed with their Paris gig venue – Petit Bain which is on a barge moored on the Seine – next to the Piscine Josephine Baker (a swimming pool also on a barge!) and adjacent to the Arthur Rimbaud Walkway (very Verlaines!) and just one barge from the Simone de Beauvoir walking bridge – aah Paris! -

The Star
Which often has stories of major local import that The Press misses and never seems to follow up on after they have been publicised in The Star, whereas Fairfax seems happy to report on stories reported on in The NZ Herald - seems odd to me.

So maybe we do have to start again: small, local operations that make enough to break even, that share their copy with other small outfits,
I remember back in the days of Earwig, Cock, Itch and Ferret (that's not a law firm, but 4 different NZ Counter Culture mags! Well 5 counting Counter Culture) there was the UPS (Underground Press Syndicate) and other casual arrangements, that much like some Fanzines today, allowed hard copy and content swapping - all by mail mind you...
