New Order YouTube Goodness
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007It’s been a while since I posted any YouTube videos, so here you go to get you in the mood for ATOMIC. 3 clips of New Order live in the BBC Radio 1 studios, 1984. Fantastic stuff, and well worth watching for the clothes alone (it must have been summer!!), and check Hooky’s work on [...]
Well, it was never going to be ‘Best Dressed Man’…
Friday, August 24th, 2007… but I have just found out that I have been voted Best DJ in the Other category of the Capital Times’ Best of Wellington Survey. Proof here if you don’t believe me. Wow! This was totally unexpected & I feel very humble (I didn’t even vote for myself). Thanks to all of you who [...]

So, whatever happened to that baby on the cover of Nevermind?
Thursday, August 16th, 2007And that girl on the cover of the Violent Femmes first album? Thanks to the wonders of the modern internet, we can now know. Take this link Note: They seem to have airbrushed out the baby’s pen1s from the Nirvana album cover for some reason, too. Weird.
It’s Just Like A Cassette, But Not!
Tuesday, August 14th, 2007From here: Remember back in the days before digital music players and MP3s? If you do, then you probably made compilations of all your favourite music, to share with your friends and loved ones, on good old fashioned blank cassette tapes. If you miss making mix tapes this product will inspire you again! Haha, I’m [...]
