Death And The Maiden’s “Uneven Ground” has its official NZ retail store release today. If you didn’t get to one of their shows and get a copy head on down to your local record store this weekend and get it there please! (or from us online).

From 2019 twitter, when you could refer your NZ music questions to the Minister of Finance.

Bowie's Lodger ( a very close relation to Fear of Music I reckon) also charted higher in NZ (3) than anywhere else.

Forty fucking years ago, @richlangston2 started a fanzine called Garage. He bashed it out on a typewriter in the Dunedin Library. Stapled the pages together. He so knew that the music his mates were making was rare and special and ours. And now, this. What a treat, RL. Magic. ♥️

Was a pleasure to write about ten of my favourite songs by The Clean for the Guardian to celebrate the publication of @richlangston2 excellent oral history of the band 'The Clean: in the dreamlife you need a rubber soul'.

AudioCulture on Death And The Maiden (the glorious post-something-or-other sad electronic slo-mo dance music trio from Dunedin, not the 7” single released 40-something years ago by a band who named themselves after a dead French poet). audioculture.co.nz/profile/d…

The updated, expanded edition of Facing The Other Way: The Story of 4AD went on sale yesterday.. and in the larger paperback format it was always destined for. Bittersweet to see Vaughan's artwork and he's not here to see it @WmCollinsBooks, @4AD_Official
Not sure if anyone on here is interested in new music. Not sure if anyone on here is real anymore. I recommend new Gregory Uhlmann album ‘Extra Stars’ on International Anthem label if you are. Experimental (whatever that means) but also beautiful & fun. intlanthem.bandcamp.com/albu…

I mark the reissue of The Shakespeare Monkey on vinyl by writing about each of the 35 books visible in Hayley Theyers' cover image.
Learn what warped the mind that made the songs.

Thanks to Ian and @FishriderNZ for orchestrating the re-issue of The Shakespeare Monkey (abridged edition) on vinyl. Available now at all serious stores including @worldofechoshop @FlyingNun @FlyingOutMusic @JBHiFi
Recommended on re-issue by Elsewhere The Shakespeare Monkey by The Puddle - out on LP this Friday! elsewhere.co.nz/absoluteelse…
Another wonderful piece of music writing, falling and laughing down the rabbit hole of Television Personalities…
Television Personalities and the post-punk psychedelic beginnings of indie, Dan Treacy's songs and most compelling recordings, his beautiful despair, and his humour. What is Art anyway? Who knows where Dan Treacy lives? And, how did the TV Personalities get that sound?

To celebrate Fishrider records reissue of The Puddle's much-loved 2008 album The Shakespeare Monkey as an abridged vinyl LP, here's Hayley Theyers' magical interpretation of track 1, 'As It Was', made using @grok animation.

Happy New Year from The New Existentialists, Songs From Insane Times and all who sail in them. In 2026 you can look forward to more of all that plus upcoming goodies from The Puddle and Burner Phone. Here's a song for the new year, free to download, from the Burner Phone lineup of Chris Heazlewood and Yours Truly. It'll be on all the international streaming services at midnight (your time) under the +64 Burner Phone moniker too but this is for you.
Happy New Year!

UNDERRATED 90s ALBUMS: ‘Shotgun Blossom’ by Snapper
One of two albums the Dunedin psychedelia and noise pop melders released in their lifetime, this one’s probably the most elusive record in our feature.

New Melody’s Echo Chamber album Unclouded is a treat. Wonderful songs and the Sven Wunder sonic landscape and crisp Funky Drummer & bass are a glorious thing to experience. melodysechochamber.bandcamp.…
