A new best of You Am I has just been released and has filled me with nostalgia. A criminally underrated band outside of Aussie

New Test Leper - love me a bit of organ
“It usually takes a few good years for me to decide where an album stands in the pantheon of recorded work we’ve done. This one may be third behind Murmur and Automatic For The People.” - Mike Mills in Mojo, 1996

New Adventures In Hi-Fi was released on this day in 1996. What’s your favorite 🎵?

New Zealanders finished 5th and 12th overall in this year's Tour de France Femmes and I don't think you appreciate how big a deal this is.

Still nothing at all on the Herald’s website for NZ’s best ever TdF result. Absolutely shocking, but sadly unsurprising.
Imagine the media coverage if a nz male had just finished 5th in the tour de france. Way to go Niamh Fisher-Black.

Arseholes, bastards, fucking cunts and pricks
What one line from a song - not from the chorus - that will give away what song it is?

Last night, I dreamt I fired David Seymour out of an old-timey circus cannon again.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must want to fire David Seymour out of an old-timey circus cannon.
We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold and David Seymour was fired out of an old timey circus cannon.

Dear Manager
I have:
1. Showed her how I do that trick (the one that makes her scream and laugh)
2. Spun on that dizzy edge
3. Kissed her face and kissed her head
4. Dreamed of all the different ways I had to make her glow
5. Found myself alone

Always wondered where the threshold lies for when an Auckland suburb gets described as ‘leafy’. I assume it’s actually not much to do with objective levels of vegetation coverage.

a private company with a horror track record gets to apply to vacuum up the seabed (for free) and sell it for millions and no-one gets a say — we should all be outraged, not just us locals

Weird article full of one random guy’s [highly disputable] reckons and not much evidence. I’d say politics play a bigger part in NZers consumption choices than Bruce thinks (especially when it comes to swasticars)
Plummeting Tesla sales nothing to do with Musk, says consumer expert
A consumer research firm says plummeting Tesla sales in New Zealand have nothing to do with its chief executive's polarising views - but some local graffiti shows a different view.
