hey there all

lynnie is in the midst of preparing for a residence move so it was just myself and my trusty sidekick Lyzee at the controls tonight. News was a little sparse this week which allowed us to dealve into some longer tracks by some truly excellent anitpodeon acts.

Artist - Track (Label)

  • grinspoon - chemical heart Grudge)
  • powderfinger - waiting for the sun (Grudge/Polydor)
  • eskimo joe - planet earth (Modular)
  • 78 saab - sunshine (Shock)
  • headless - chickens george (Flying Nun Records)
  • fiona mcdonald - damage control (Flying Nun Records)
  • shapeshifter - creation (Loop Recordings)
  • pnau - hard biscuit (WEA)
  • resin dogs - daily trouble (EMI)
  • tadpole - nothing new (EMI-NZ)
  • superheist - have your way (Shock)
  • fur - neon pressure (Shock)

the notes:
* Grinspoon went out by request although I would like to note that they have been at Number 1 on the JJJ Netfifty for 11 weeks and they have a new single (Lost Control) coming out on May 13.
* Brisbane rehearsal and recording facilities Red Zedz is closing down. Powderfinger, the Resin Dogs and Pangea all cut CDs there.
* Jim Beam has announced sponsorship for this year's National Campus Band Competition. Now in its 12th year the competition has showcased such acts as Saab 78, Eskimo Joe and Jebediah.
* Christchurch drum & bass group Shapeshifter will relocate to Melbourne in May. They are the latest New Zealand band to be lured to Australia by bigger, greener pastures, but not before one last farewell tour which kicks off this week.
