Hard News: Friday Music! Special Records, in reply to Russell Brown,
hall-of-fame honouree
I note that the NZ Music Hall of Fame Toy Love page only lists
Alec Bathgate (guitar) • Mike Dooley (drums) • Chris Knox (vocals) • Jane Walker (keyboards)
as inductees - somehow Paul Kean (bass) has been left off!!
...and their site photo resizing cuts Paul off and partly obscures Alec - though I have just discovered if I make the site smaller in the browser (and the type unreadable to my ageing eyes) they come into view - bloody technology!

The prior inhabitants may have been a bunch of junkies who left the toilet set solid to the brim with shit and paper (we had to pour hydrochloric acid in it and shovel the shit out with a trowel)
Very Trainspotting!
The Galaxy nightclub was in downtown Auckland city on Customs St,

Wasn’t the club that Gary from This Sporting Life’s family owned or ran, down Customs Street somewhere ?(I forget its name) – wasn’t the Rheineck Rock Awards there one year ?(or was that Fort Street)…
There is a modern Galaxy Club I see, which is a more Trumpian 'men's club'… and now will show up on my search history – dooomed! -

...and speaking of Sunday evenings coming down...
Here is a taste of Blair Parkes and Cardigan Bay - the first song of their first ever gig at the wonderful Sumner School Hall last weekend - and a reminder of their next gig at The Dark Room (St Asaph St) on Saturday 22nd of October(8.30ish start).
Best first gig I've ever seen, they all clicked together just fine, wish I'd recorded the whole night... -
The Top 10 Haircuts of the 80s.
Speaking of which, I will be at the Heritage Week Market Day at the Arts Centre this Sunday (Oct 16, 10am - 4pm) selling fine copies of '80s mags such as The Face, Blitz, New Sounds New Styles and at least one Zig Zig, Interview, Ray Gun - maybe even some Shake! and sundry comics; Eagle, Disney, miscellaneous others - and a gallimaufry of books and small ephemeral items...
Step Right Up Folks, Step Right up!

aghast in the machine…
The whole Trump phenomenon does seem to strengthen the case for ‘reality’ being a simulation…(Elon) Musk is just one of the people in Silicon Valley to take a keen interest in the “simulation hypothesis”, which argues that what we experience as reality is actually a giant computer simulation created by a more sophisticated intelligence. If it sounds a lot like The Matrix, that’s because it is.
According to this week’s New Yorker profile of Y Combinator venture capitalist Sam Altman, there are two tech billionaires secretly engaging scientists to work on breaking us out of the simulation.– a worm or virus is loose in the machine, Trump may just be the catalyst for a system crash.

What a vile human being.
...and his athletic supporters - who also have some pedigree...

Hard News: Trump's Dummkopfs, in reply to Alfie,
With his shackles off, Trump is now free...
Even his own allusion to his 'slavery' is offensive!

Trump's 'asterickroll'...
I note a twitter video report of Trump urging his fans to vote on November 28th!
(or risk becoming just an 'asterick' in history)
His approach is true huckster style (and Rickster) - this is your last and only chance, don't miss out, step right up - with an__ 'I'm never gonna let you down' __ subtext!
