ten bucks for 30 kiwi pop hits

The name Brent Haywood was mentioned in some thread somewhere which made me wonder if I still had an EP I found back when I was 18 or 19. Interesting and funny music. I liked it then and I like it now.

"In February 1949 a 78 rpm disc featuring the song ‘Blue smoke’, written by Ruru Karaitiana and sung by Pixie Williams, became the first record wholly produced in New Zealand from composition to pressing." https://nzhistory.govt.nz/media/photo/blue-smoke

And what a great song!

Great to see Lisa Tomlins profiled on Audioculture. I'm sure LAB and Neil Finn and Fat Freddy's are all more famous, but Tomlins' singing for Lord Echo is my fave.

Shona Laing, America.

Interestingly, much of her music at this time centered around America - Glad I'm not a Kennedy, Soviet Snow, America, American Friends. Guess it reflected her soured deal with Atlantic Records.

I bought the Modern Love album by Kids Of 88 a few years after it came out, and listened to it near-constantly for three more years. No-filler pop genius of an album

I've had the chorus of this kiwi song in my head for 33 years now, apparently. Ok alright a huh oh yeah!

Quite weird to listen to it after that many decades.

Phil Judd was in Split Enz, you'll recognise that vocal tone from 'Counting The Beat'... I quite like the glitchiness near the end.
