#Listening to How Ya Doing from the 1989 album Songs From The Front Lawn;

I've heard this a few times, but listening to it tonight, it's like I never heard it before. The psychedelic jazzy musical stew is mesmerising (and I'm not even high!). The kiwi bloke banter is just so ... kiwi. Nailed it.

A darker version of Common Blokish can be found on the 1990 Tall Dwarfs album Weeville.

#Listening to Crippled by Supergroove;

"These days go on
The nights are empty now you're gone
And I can see
You carry on unerringly

I hope that you don't turn into what you used to hate"

This was one of the new tracks on the epic 1994 EP Tractor. Released as a companion to the shortened radio version of You Freak Me, which was on heavy rotate on commercial music radio the same year.

This is a highly unusual turn of events. A Nelson sexual assault trial has been abandoned after a jury exposed their "outdated misconceptions about women and sex."

A pre-trial ruling had been made that the complainant was not to be cross-examined on her sexual experiences or perceived sexual interest in others.

On the second day of the trial the jury asked the judge for clarification about "a belt the complainant had described and how it was attached to her clothing, as well as what shoe size she wore."

Her shoe size! Two hours later they followed up with more pure misogyny.

"How many times had she had sex with a man prior to this situation with Mr [suppressed]?” they asked, followed by, “Her underwear— is it a typical style and colour she wears daily, or only for special occasions?"

I wonder how many older white men were on that jury?
