Sometimes, editors and directors are mixing with a song they can't get clearance for at the end. If a fan edit can return the song to the movie. I would be down with that.

The Cinematic Orchestra's score of The Man with the Movie Camera is great. Pink Floyd with Wizard of Oz. And I think I saw Robert Fripp play an alternative score once to an early film.

Kin-dza-dza! a 1986 Soviet film. It is a dystopian science-fiction comedy, in which two men from the Soviet Union accidentally travel through space, meeting two aliens from the Kin-dza-dza star system and their post-apocalyptic world.

Tonally it stays the same. So if I was you I would stop.
It didn't grab me either, but I can tell the book would have been great.
I liked the cyberpunk world building (and the anarcho socialists).

If anyone wants to play in Nelson or live here and has an interesting idea, hit me up. Here or on the website.

It stands for WhakatΕ« Arts and Action. But I also like that it sounds like the dying Nazis in Rick Dangerous. We have weekly teen band nights, line dancing, cult movies, standup, slam poetry, niche music and art events and a recording studio. Right in town and with a big courtyard.

I didn't know either. I came across it last visit to Wellington and thought - "I gotta do this in Nelson". But it would only be three rows and two columns.

The crime was kidnapping a 15 yr old forcing her to marry. While Edward was in Prison he devised how to carve up Nelson and rip off the working class. Why do we still use their names here?

Just learnt that the Wakefield brothers who colonised #Nelson were tried in the Lancaster Castle with their mother. William stayed there for three years, Edward at another prison. Strange that Sarah and I lived in Lancaster for a while.

Map of Nelson that looks like a face.

Map of Nelson that looks like a face.

I have uncovered a deep dark hidden secret. The New Zealand Company (in London - of course) designed our city in the shape of a robot face. What does it mean? The cathedral is a tongue and the museum is a snot bubble, the eyes are our public toilets! It all seems connected!

#fightbacktogether #nelsonnz #ctu. Massive turn out and twice this amount when walking down the main street. So great seeing shop staff standing outside in solidarity. No question at all where this city stands politically. Also proud of my wife's speech.

My Bob Jones story. When I worked for ERO, it was in Bob's ugly building on Lambton Quay. First day of the job I was told not to give him eye contact in the lift. and that he had pushed someone up against the lift's walls a few weeks earlier. This was in 2006.

Massive Attack//
KNEECAP ARE NOT THE STORY 
If senior politicians can find neither the time, nor the words to condemn, say, the murder of fifteen voluntary aid workers in Gaza, or the illegal starvation of a civilian population as a method of warfare, or the killing of thousands & thousands of children in the same territory, by a state in possession of the highest precision weapons on earth; how much notice should a music festival take of their moral advice on booking performing acts? 
As a band that has spoken publicly for more than 30 years about the illegal occupation, apartheid system and killing with impunity of thousands of Palestinians, we are hyper aware of the both the human cost of abject political silence, and the commercial implications of publicly expressing solidarity with an oppressed people.

New study reveals wealth inequality was never inevitable A recent study published in the journal PNAS is overturning traditional wisdom regarding the origins and inevitability of wealth inequality

A massive study of 50,000 households over 1,000 archaeological sites provides ample evidence that inequality is not a "natural" outgrowth of sophistication. Instead, it is a political choice. Which means, kids, that we don't have to choose it.

Voices for Freedom - the hippy-fascists were having a meeting nearby. I had to do something.

No complaints so far, the setting up with a domain name was a little confusing. I noticed with Protonmail you could have Gmail automatically be pulled into it. Ikmail lets you bulk import. But I'm happy to jump between the two as I phase out Gmail.

Australia, New Zealand, Fiji. Could be great to learn about our climate action groups and anti-colonialism work. I don't know what the metrics say about your fan base down here though.

Hi Phil. I'll add this to my wishlist. I'm quite keen on trying out the Jump Ship game when it comes out. I like how the co-op experience seems more integral than in most games and that it's not just a shooter. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvsR...
