New Zealand Music Month At Re-Store

…yeah, yeah, I know…

…when I had the record shop I used to rail against New Zealand Music Month, claiming that every month was New Zealand Music Month at Too Tone Records…

…but that was then…

…this is now,,,

..since the beginning of processing the accumulation we had been separating the NZ music out…

…can’t remember why exactly…

…but we did…

…and now we have over 13 crates of it…

…all priced up and ready to be delivered to Re-Store early next week…

…(Monday is the first of May so that might be a clue as to exactly when the first drop might be…no promises though)….

…see you there…

…tell your NZ music obsessive friends…

Level 3.2

…remember these?….

…they moved on to be….

…and….

…they eventually became…

….repurposed as a New Zealand Music Month vid’ for Dee’s wonderfully catchy tune, “shit fly”…written to celebrate the delightful cloud of short-lived flying things that hover round the outhouse out at Aramoana….

…a fitting end for nearly 100 brooches presented in a custom built carry case for a pre-xmas market thing that didn’t happen….

…(damn…thought I had a bunch of photos of the production lay out…flies all arranged on trays with the “colour guide” post it notes that I used to ensure that none of the flies have the same colour scheme)…

…er…

…here’s some post video shots…..

…maybe they’ll have another market this coming Xmas….

…if we’re allowed out by then….

I Think I Was At Sammy’s

…to see my good friend Dee’s musical collective, Tiny Pieces Of Eight, perform…IMG_1252 IMG_1253 IMG_1254 IMG_1256 IMG_1257 IMG_1259

…and perform they did…from free noise to country to funk to wall-of-sound-folk-a-delica…

…they sound awesome, go see ’em…

…then I went thru this door here…

…and found way too much beer…

…of course Mr H. was the only thing in focus after awhile…

…sometimes, no matter how messed up you get, you push the button and it works…

…thank you for another wonderfully boozy night, LoR…

…my head hurts.
