I figured there would be a few of you that didn't know what this t-shirt was all about. read: I know you're old. so here's a video to explain, complete with swear words to make you angry and say "charming" to yourself.

This is basically what the internet was made for; a Chinese man atop a cow, delivering a stirring rendition of Justin Bieber's hit "Baby". More bearable than the orginal? I enjoy both, but that's just my opinion... I trust you'll enjoy this as much as I did.

Time hasn't been particularly kind to what was once known as S Club 7... top YouTube comments are pretty predictable (along the lines of the remaining members eating the others lol etc). Bradley still rips it up though. big time.

Rob went to school  with David Dallas. which is pretty awesome cos David Dallas is mean. Watch the bros video and then buy his merch (and get a free cd). Papatoetoe taking it to the world.

With great power comes great reposonsibility. Josh Gross knows the deal.

This is a real thing. A very catchy, finely produced, real thing.

note: There are plenty of swear words in this video, so if you don't like the words fu*k, nig*a, bitch or dick - just don't watch this video.

David and Rob used to go to Papatoetoe High together, and we're pretty stoked to say we're now stocking t-shirts and jumpers for NZ's most talented artist. With the Exclusive David Dallas “The Rose Tint” Range, each t-shirt comes with a free copy of David Dallas x Forty-One – Purple Tinted.

Here it is... not exactly the most inspiring song, but I'll leave it up to you. Let us know your thoughts; is this the powerful ballad you were expecting?

I had long suspected Dub-Step was 'of the devil', and this just confirms it.

The other day I stumbled accross this album cover. Possibly on a page that carried a list of 'the worst album art ever', most likely actually. Anyway, I thought it was pretty special, and I hope you enjoy the font, the title, his facial hair, his smurk, and his lazy eye as much as I did.

The crafty cats over at www.MusicHy.pe have done it again. You might have seen their Mint Chicks USB they did a while back, which was sweet. Well... now they've managed to get the top 12 emerging NZ Indie artists together to make one sweet little mix tape. Packaged on this nifty little cassette USB, we're lucky enough to have 2 to give away.

We've decided to make it easy for you, just buy one of these NZ Indie Mix Tape t-shirts that you would've bought anyway - and the first two to purchase them will get themselves a Mix Tape USB. If you missed out on winning one, you can just buy it here.

In a bid to out-indie Fran, two of my three flatmates are actually featured on this compilation. the other one has a grammy nomination. nbd. no big deal.

We really like Michael Jackson. We went through a phase where we'd listen to his marvelous piece 'The Earth Song' every day at around 4:30pm. I say phase, but it went on for a good few months. We also really like the Thin Lizzy jingle. Check it out the thin lizzy website; their marketing team thought it would be a great idea to have the song playing on loop while you browse their website - we couldn't agree more.

Smokefreerockquest is something of an institution in New Zealand these days. Since 1989, the nationwide youth event has been helping young musicians realise their ability, and at the same time encourage their peers to support 100% NZ Music.

You only have to look at the list of successful bands that have been brought through the ‘rockquest system’ currently in the NZ Music scene. Check it out: Evermore, Die!Die!Die!, the Datsuns, Brooke Fraser, Anika Moa, Cut off your Hands, Flight of the Conchords, The Electric Confectionaires, Elemeno P, So So Modern, Midnight Youth, Bang!Bang!Eche! Steriogram, Lady Hawke, Minuit, Fat Freddys Drop, Aaradhna, Atlas, The Feelers, The Blackseeds, Nesian Mystic, Bic Runga, The Have, Fur Patrol, Liam Finn, Pine, King Kapisi, and The Checks. Impressive.

I think you might like watching this guy if you like awesome stuff. My flatmate Tim showed me this. Tim plays the drums, but he ain't got shit on this guy. This guy is truly a beast of a man.
