NZ Music, indie Music, in fact always looking for new sounds. For others seeking new sounds, I'll try to post a NZ music track that I like each day. Also a nice classic car brings a smile.

Winston Peters is sounding dangerously like Trump. He's gone a bit wonky on the whole Covid response and a little overt racism as well, but this is kinda scary www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361...

The Vibrators were one of the very best first gen punks. The Pure Mania LP was one out of the box, V2 didn't quite match but it was pretty solid. Here's some V2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL-b...

It's long past time that reparations be paid from a central fund with the offenders repaying that fund with a loan much like a student loan, except with a modest interest. Victims should not be so out of pocket for so long. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3610...
