Stubs: #126 – Off-Key: Concert For Artistic Freedom, Wellington, 2014

Last year Darren Watson released a satirical song called Planet Key (with a video by Jeremy Jones). It was banned. And so a bunch of Wellington bands got together and put on the Off-Key: Concert for Artistic Freedom show. It was great to be in a pub on a Sunday afternoon with like-minded people; people […]

Stubs: #125 – Ken Auletta, Auckland, 2015

Ken Auletta spoke as part of this year’s Auckland Writers Festival – the subject was The Media Revolution, so it was a wide-ranging chat really, touching a bit on music and downloading and the collapse/rebuild of that industry, but mostly around TV and print-journalism platforms and the changes there. And on, via the questions, to […]

Auckland Writers Festival: The Media Revolution – Ken Auletta

The Media Revolution: Ken Auletta ASB Theatre/Aotea Centre Saturday, March 16 (4.30pm) For this Auckland Writers Festival event Shayne Currie, editor of The New Zealand Herald was the chair/interviewer – though he never introduced himself. I assume people do that out of modesty, thinking they’re not the important person on stage, but it smacks of […]

Stubs: # 58 – Homegrown, Wellington, 2013

Amazing – I dodged Homegrown last year and it feels like so long ago that I was last there, out of place, wandering about – trying to fill the day, desperately hoping for something in the form of music, settling – because you have to – for a lot less. A lot of less. But […]

Stubs: # 51 – De La Soul, Wellington, 2009

I like De La Soul as much as you do – I presume you like De La Soul. You should. There’s no reason not to. But I’ve seen them a few times and I’m not sure I get the fuss around seeing them live – a good fun vibe, sure. But I’d rather listen to […]
