RNZ straight up turned down blathering Luxon to go straight into the news.

but what if i don't want to see system of a down. what then.

Trying to remember some of the silly little bands we used to do.

Fucking hell as if receiving automated rejection letters for jobs wasn't bad enough.

Some ppl are having trouble seeing what RNZ's number one NZ song of all time is. It is 'Pills & Toast' by my old band The Airports. Have a blessed day.

Legit find it hard to square my love for this guy's work with how he presents himself in public. He's so, so, so good on screen. Come on - Videodrome, Once Upon a Time in America, Casino, Virgin Suicides... I am a big James Woods fan.
