    I note that Martin Snedden (on morning Report today) said the song choice was driven by
    their ad agency. Anyone know who that is?
    And whether they have also used it in its
    prior placements?
    Are they a local or overseas agency?
    just wonderin', as it doesn't seem very creative...

    aaah, the blaggarts again...

  • Hard News: A revolting piece of shit,

    Nah that would be "A revolting little shit" :)

    watching "Rortney" Hide on the telly last night - squirming next to "Nicker" Smith while announcing the excising of the elected Ecan board - it struck
    me that he's looking more and more like Gollum,
    or is it just me...

    ...to represent the NZ massive

    I think Chris was meaning the land, but misspelt massif : noun; a compact group of mountains, esp. one that is separate from other groups...
    - which is a pretty nifty way of describing NZ (and the rugger statue) - I liked it!

    ...so Chris, don't fall on that kris
    no wavy goodbyes here... ;- )

  • Field Theory: A post about art (sort of),

    Ornamental as anything...
    I wonder what traction there is for the
    "art is a virus" argument?
    in the way that language is a virus...
    or even that art is a language allowing
    the expression of the ineffable...
    (more Dawkins than Dutton, mind you...)

    I mean, it does get in...

    Ta Mr M - great to see that old Fall clip again...
    but I'm thinking the Tall Dwarfs Nothing's
    Going to Happen
    might be more apt...

    The usual arguments as to whether this is really a good idea can be had, of course. It'll be interesting to see, although it would be perilous to extrapolate the experience of a country of 300,000 people in the middle of an ocean. And it seems likely that the women working in the clubs will work somewhere else.

    Maybe the new Commisars of E-Canned could experiment with this in Chch - exchanging bodily fluids will possibly fall within their "water-management" purview...
    Hell, we'll probably need re-sauce consents
    between adults of age...

    I've got a bad feelering about this...
    Judging by the song's track record of being used
    in the past by big time losers (Hilary Clinton,
    Jerry Brown as noted on the other thread) this
    will be an unnecessary albatrossity!
    doooomed, doooomed we're dooomed....

  • Hard News: A revolting piece of shit,

    Sesh is life...? ...meat is murder!
    This is one song that will be relegated to the
    DJ equivalent of "sour crates"...
    I'd also like to hear what John Tamihere might have to say to his Radio Live work mate Mike King about the genesis of his son's little slice of life...

    I'm sure a new or existing NZ song could be used that would satisfy both a national and international audience.

    perhaps this audio sample from an album that should exist - Howard's the air up there?
