Handle the Jandal article
Somehow ended up with a photo of me holding a jandal 
to my head on the front page of Wellington's biggest newspaper, the Dominion Post. It's a puff piece for the Handle The Jandal video competition and it mainly revolves around each of the musos involved talking about why we like jandals!? I was eager to get in a mention that, despite Kiwis having our own word for the footwear, they're by no means Kiwi things. Glad it made it into the text.
I was there as a past finalist for this video. It got second-runner up (aka third place) years back (2001?) and director Glen Atkins won Best Editing.

This year Ned Wenlock submitted the vid he did for the Malty Media track 'Mescaline Man'. Although Stuart and I were stoked by the vid, it didn't get into the finals. I guess I understand why the competition judges may have been hesitant to play the thing on a movie screen. It would be ... intense.

Thanks to Active for lining up the photo op and to the Dominion Post for letting me upload the pic.

More interviews coming up
The Angry Rabbit crew (which includes me) will be doing some more radio interviews in support of this Friday's release party. We'll be talking about the release gig (we make up 3 of the 4 acts between us) and the CD.
First up is Tuesday 6pm on Radio Active's Drive show.
Thursday night we'll do a bit of a guest spot on The Session, from 9pm.
And I believe Friday will be another quick spot on the breakfast show, sometime after 7 and before 9am.
You can stream Radio Active
if you like. It's that kind of thing.

Interviews for Apropos Of Nothing
I'm doing a whole lot of interviews leading up to the Auckland release gig for 'Apropos of Nothing'.
First, there's more information about the cD itself over on the label site, including some tunes to download and a player to listen to every track.
Kirsten Johnstone from Radio National interviewed me and Stuart McDonald, last week. Jet Jaguar & Aquaboogie respectively, collectively Malty Media, and two of the three organisers of the compilation.
It's going to air twice:
The Music Mix, Thursday 14th from 11.06PM (Check the time in your timezone)
Stream Radio National
Music 101, Saturday 16th from 2.00PM (Check the time in your timezone)
Stream Radio National
Andrew Loughnan (Group Five, and the other CD organiser) and I are also being interviewed by Andrew Manning on B, and we'll have some give aways of the CD.
Freak the Sheep, Wednesday 13th from 9.00PM (Check the time in your timezone)
Stream BFM
And finally, an early morning chat with Lewis Tennant.
The Morning Toaster, Friday 15th - probably just after 7.00AM or I might still be in the shower! (Check the time in your timezone)
Stream BFM
Oh, and we've also got a wee feature (contradiction in terms!?) in this week's print version of Groove Guide which is out tomorrow.
