#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.

One of the things thar disturbs me about Heinz Watties announcement that they were closing down their vegetable and food processing plants in Dunedin, Christchurch and Auckland is how a large foreign corporate took over the company and is slowly destroying it. Over some years now they have stopped using locally grown produce and substituted imported products e.g. asparagus, tomatoes and corn, from much cheaper source countries like Peru and Thailand. Local farmers lose contracts. #Aotearoa becomes more dependent on imported food in place of more secure home grown food. So Heinz is increasing our food security risk. That should be a concern for every Kiwi. Something similar occured with Mondelez. Huge global corporations like these are like vultures stripping everything down to the bone. #foodsecurity #globalisation #corporations #risk
