::: SCRATCH 22 DJ SET:::
[download it here: http://bit.ly/mC8lSd. Thanks Rodi!]

An update thing.

2011-05-28T22:36:00.000-07:00

Yes, it's that all-too-rare blog update where I tell you what's been happening and what might happen in the future:

I'm still trying to figure out a convenient way of obtaining and uploading mp3 logs of the show, which has been requested by two or three people. Stay tuned.
top Auckland turntablist Scratch 22 came up a few weeks ago and did a marvelously eclectic set which you can download here.
Nigel Wright played some gorgeous live-to-air drone last Thursday (mp3 coming soon) and received a caller who said it was "amazing". He has a new 7" out called Mossopolis.
Dean Roberts & Jenny Lange were meant to come up too but couldn't make it so they'll be doing a live set for this coming Thursday's (June 2nd) show.
My friend James started a new music blog called Michael Music Blog and I'll be contributing the occasional post, spotlighting some favourite tracks that I've been diggin'.

See you again in six months.

News

2010-07-16T17:41:00.000-07:00

I don't usually post any news updates or anything, but have a few things worthy of blogspace attention even though no one reads this blog.

Firstly if anyone's been listening to the show in the past few weeks, you'll have noticed my absence. My dad's suffering from esophageal cancer and he's in Guangzhou, China getting treatment, so I was over there to see him. Mum's currently there alone looking after him - which is fucking hard - and it's most likely that I'll have to go back at some stage. It'll depend on his progress in the next couple of weeks. Basically, I'm not sure how regularly I'll be able to the show in the next while. Worry not though, you'll be in good hands - either Soong, Joe, James and Matt will be filling in for me, and they do ace work. I've set up a page at givealittle.co.nz for my dad's cause; if you'd like to read more about it and donate, click here.

Another cause worth supporting is the A Fundamental Experiment LP put out by Semina Tapes. I'm actually not familiar with J.M.W., but his current situation sounds awful and this limited edition comp of Neil Young covers, featuring the likes of Matt Mondanile, Stag Hare, Sun Araw et al is pretty cool. It's $15ppd in the US, but $26 all up to NZ.

Finally a wonderful Auckland institution is soon coming to a depressing end: the Wine Cellar. There's a facebook group that's rallying people to support the bar/venue in the hope for an extended life, but looks like it's going to be gone for good. But there's a chance its adjacent venue, Whammy, might still survive. WC is the closest thing I have to a neighbourhood bar, like your very own Cheers, but better... there's really nowhere in Auckland like it, once it goes, the city will be much less appealing. It's the kind of place the phrase "best kept secret" was made for. Boo.

Music Video: Wilberforces - My Mind Is In My Paws

2009-08-06T21:17:00.000-07:00

I was meant to put this up a while back but I have been neglecting blogging duties here as you might have noticed. But this is a music video I made for Wilberforces for their wicked song "My Mind Is In My Paws". It was made on a whim while we were stranded in Wellington due to a cancelled flight a couple months ago. We stayed the night at the Copthorne Hotel which is where all the hotel stuff is shot. Considering I have no previous experience in making music videos of any kind and that there was no script/money involved in this, I think it turned out okay:

Live Review: Grouper & Pumice

2009-04-17T17:02:00.000-07:00

Been meaning to put this up... here's my review of the Grouper/Pumice show at Whammy on March 12.
As the sole dream weaver behind last year’s most gorgeous record Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill, Portland, Oregon’s Liz Harris aka Grouper held the decently sized crowd at Whammy spellbound with her brand of ghostly, nebulous drone-pop. She cut a waifish, slightly reticent, bird-like figure on-stage, softly pawing her electric guitar through simple chord progressions while her spine-chilling vocals, layered via looping pedals, filled the room, harmonizing with itself into clusters of pillowy, ethereal sound. The set was perhaps on the short side at 40 minutes, but nonetheless darkly captivating stuff to bliss out to. The rarely performing Pumice opened charmingly ramshackle as ever. Fuzzy, crackling, and always seeming on the verge of falling apart, his unstable, feedback-riddled lo-fi ditties had that subterranean quality that made him an apt complement to Grouper’s otherworldliness. (Real Groove, April '09)

Fill-ins Galore

2008-12-24T02:55:00.000-08:00

It's the holiday season so most of the specialist bFM DJs are taking a break, which means us weirdo graveyarders get to swoop in and claim daytime slots for a change. I did my second ever yesterday, filling in for Darcy & Tim's show from 7-9pm and it was slightly nervewracking to start with (I started playing the Sarolta Zalatnay LP at 45, cringe); as Stinky Jim mentioned when I finished up, it's a bit more "naked" when there's light. I'm gonna try my hand at a few more, 9-12 this Sunday morning and 7-9am next Sunday, or maybe 9-12 again depending how this one pans out. Plus tomorrow, I've decided to fill in Timmy Schumacher's 11-1am slot all the way through to my 1-3 so it's going to be a FOUR-HOUR-LONG extravaganza show. Cripes. Fun radio times. Listen in if you're around - and Merry Christmas!
