After I posted that, I was trawling through the wreckage of my old CoActivate wiki, and found a bunch more stuff to add on this page […]
During #NZMusicMonth it occured to me that there is quite a collection of song titles by Flying Nun bands dedicated to famous people. Can you add any others to the list @jingajik.bsky.social @audioculturenz.bsky.social?
This is a 🧵
For the climax of NZ Music Month, SSSD managed to pull off an interview with Jon Toogood of Shihad on his Deep INsessioNZ show;

I really don't want to defend the shitty racist actions of Chris Bishop, but being a dickhead is actually a NZ Music Month thing.🤪

It's a parody of this classic.
The man on the drums is Don (legend, The Don) McGlashon✌️

If Bish had his way it'd be the Benson and Hedges NZ (Not Aotearoa!) Music Awards for Musicians who vote National. #nzpol #nzmusicmonth
It's the last Friday night of New Zealand Music Month, so it's time to spin a few tunes... let's have a Flying Nun disco!

The Daily Record: it may be sacrilege to suggest but, for me, David Kilgour's 1992 solo debut outshines any of his work with the Clean. The languorous, wistful air of this record is so thick you could cut it, as one magical song tumbles out of the speakers after another 🪄

All the best for the NZ Music Awards tonight
60 years ago, the first winners - Ray Columbus and the Invaders, Till We Kissed
Lorde is somebody who knows her fans and knows how to connect with them and make them feel special.
It's a killer strategy for selling her music, and nobody does it like Lorde does.
I'm not a fan of Lorde's music, but I think the way she cultivates her fans is special & unique.✌️

New Zealand Song of the Day: The Bongos - Falling (Monotony/Propeller Records/1982)
🎶 ... and I go! 🎶

Here's a brief biography of the band via the ever-reliable Audioculture: https://www.audioculture.co.nz/profile/chainsaw-masochist Former drummer Rick McShane owns a record shop in Auckland, and you can buy a vast array of CDs (including many hard-to-find releases) via his website: https://www.newzealandcds.com/default.asp I stopped collecting about a decade ago but I purchased many discs from Rick back in the day - he is a TOP person and comes highly recommended by me!
The Daily Record: here's a Flying Nun album no-one ever talks about: Periphery by Chainsaw Masochist. A pity, too, because while the name may suggest otherwise, this is solid Indie rock that would fit in well with what was coming out of Oxford in the early to mid-'90s ✅

10. Supergroove. (Outstanding name!) Next time. Put my awkward years of shyness into a funky song.

I had a lot of fun researching the Ngā Taonga audiovisual archive for this NZ Music Month story for The Post.
