Not a musician but fucking hell Zane Lowe changed my life as a teen. That show got me into all sorts of cool shit from Beastie Boys to The Clash. And now, the show that took over from him has the new Bieber album as it's 'Hottest Record'.How is this meant to put fire in the belly of the next generation. Bullshit janine

can't speak for NZ but aus is a deadzone for entertainment. culturally, the people are afraid of art and music and would much rather indulge in sport as the national pastime. there is an innate fear of intelligence or difference of opinion. as a result arts projects get next to no funding and the scene suffers.

What do we think of Bedroom Suck Records?

Also, New Zealand vs Australia; which one is superior musically?
>>
>>60510285
Lots of great artists on Bedroom Suck. To me they're on par with Chapter Music and Flying Nun.

Due to the hotbed of talent that were on the Flying Nun label in the 80's, i'm obliged to say NZ>AUS.
