Moving house again! -> This way to Starlifter.TV

Farewell ye all (kinda). It be time to move (blog) house.

Well I think that it has taken all of 2008 to get myself all sorted with a blog/site that can do all the things that I want it to do and hopefully this one won’t get hacked by Turkish Hackers.

My new website Starlifter.TV (http://starlifter.tv) is up and running. There’s gonna be much of the same over there but it looks prettier and I’m gonna be able to do a litle more with it. I’m even thinking about producing some video shows under the same name in 2009 but we’ll see. Regardless, if there’s any bands, producers or music you think is worth checking out let me know. That’s what Starlifter.TV is all about, helping amazing musicians and artists be seen in the urban jungle.

I’m in the process of reviewing the new Module (Module.co.nz) live album so be sure to check out Starlifter.TV for that really soon. In the mean time be sure to check the album out for yourself. It’s available for free download from www.patterndotlife.co.nz

Oh, Tom Cosm (COSM.co.nz) has a new song ‘heaps good strong board‘ available for free download now too. It’s heaps of fun.

Thanks for crusing with me on this journey. It’s great having you along for the ride.
Peace,

Hey yo! Thanks to all the party peeps who rocked along to my b’day party on Saturday night. Shit it was RA-A-AD. The gig was combined with Richard (who is departing us once again for busier shores), Ed (who had almost finished his study thang) and Mark (who was down from Wellington). Boy there were a fair few Fanny Packs clinging tightly to kitty-kats waists. Purrrrr. Here’s a little bit of what went down…

Would you trust this man to slice your lemon?

Hipster Runoff – what a freakin’ laugh!

Heaps of my friends seem to be getting a good laugh out of this blog recently, hipsterrunoff.com > it’s like a blog that’s taking the piss out of the “cool/hipness” of blog culture, electro/pop/alt blog culture in particular. The manner in which they write and the style in which it is designed is simply outrageous. Check it out -> www.hipsterrunoff.com

Hey! And if you’re in Christchurch, NZ tonight and lookin’ for mad party times flick me an SMS +64273267676 -> me and my friends are throwing a party called Fanny Packers! BYO Bum Bag!
