Was anyone at the Warners gig that night? They were playing with Bygone Era according to the flyer.

Yep it sounds like AC/DC... actually some of the best stuff they've done in years.

That article generated lots of angry "fuck you i'll wear what i want" letters to MRR from over serious suburban american teenagers who totally missed the point, which is why the article is such a classic. Editor Tim Yohannon responded "Ben says fuck you too". Anyway I recommend t...

I'm pretty sure we follow British rather than American punk rock dress codes in this part of the world, unless you're an idiot who thinks Green Day and Offspring and Good Charlotte are punk bands, but for your information Ben Weasel is highly opposed to painting or studding leather jackets. http://w...

There's nothing transformational about this government, just a bunch of right of centre Blairites. Not that much different from Key really. The fact that they're not willing to risk a little unpopularity by such basic measures as increasing benefits (at least for people with kids for fuck's sake) or...

She's doing fuck all to help bennies or first home buyers, and she let fucking Winston commit her to no CGT, something the housing market desperately needs. Fuck Labour and fuck Jacinda. Just another orthodox neoliberal party. Vote Green or Maori.

Not that it's great music or anything, just good to see he hasn't lost his edge.

This continues to fuck with my head.

The octagonal plastic jug and the shitty Lion Brown or whatever's on tap is indeed an essential part of the New Zealand pub experience.

I checked out a few clips of her, just not my vibe. Will keep it in my mind as something to watch in another decade or with someone else though. As far as older films go, I can't think of any actresses who've topped Ingrid Bergman in Notorious for me. Sassy as. She was supposed to be the next Sophi...

Two words - Claudia Cardinale.

Rick James was a truly horrible human being. But this is pretty awesome.

Leone's westerns are a distinct genre, not really at all like the old school morality plays like Shane, High Noon etc. The protagonists are much more morally ambiguous, and they're very atmospheric, lots of close ups of facial tics, eye movements etc and of course the Morricone soundtrack. Complicat...

Fuck it, what's wrong with this fucking country??

Apparently the allegations centre around a fairly successful Zim-born hip hop artist and his mates.

what a grumpy old cunt he was... but he spoke truth.

Hah. Yeah I saw that the other day. It's pretty neat. Do you know anything more about them? Na my mate sent it to me, I'd never even heard of them. He rediscovered it on an old mix tape that somehow hadn't disintegrated. peripherally relevant: https://www.audioculture.co.nz/people/no-tag/stories/th...

Very pleased she won, the Labour candidate was so boring.

Used to think this was a rolling stones song. 1946.


white girls having a go.

It's rockin'... recorded in 1949, candidate for first rock n roll record, predates rocket 88 anyway

This one is pissing off the Fox News crowd in the US, which is reason enough to like it.

Cause honestly, you can't have too much Steel Panther in your life.

I was hating them in 1995 before it was cool

Kind of liked Peggy Lipton too when I was in a milfy mood... she died a couple of years ago. They're rerunning The Mod Squad on Jones and she was the stereotype dumb hippy chick... in real life she was very intelligent.

Football (and sports in general) is the distraction of the underclasses

You still appreciate that you're an asshole for doing this, right? A little self-awareness is a good thing. Ah massively, the house owner would certainly agree with you. But I feel happy in my actions, it's what I call the cyclist theory. When I'm driving my car, I hate cyclists, obnoxious pricks w...

This guy down the road from me who keeps repainting his fence. I'm just gona keep spray painting pensis on it. I have more spare time than he does. Wanker. I get that it's his property, but I simply dont care. I'm attempting to keep my suburb dirty and have it appear undesirable to the yuppies . Gr...
