I apologize for my previous excessive swearing before discussing the Christian Side Hug.
Below is the full Chistian Side Hug video for your viewing pleasure:
Running a competition over at the NZ Beats Podcast to win a sign copy of Jealous Itch’s debut album Scratch.
Here’s a link to the album review to win just leave a comment on the review. Easy as pie.
Your On the Air
First I have to say, Yenping did a fantastic job of making me feel at easy. I usually get quite nervous in these sorts of situations, but this was just like having a conversation with an old friend. She also talked me up, a lot. My head size tripled in size while listening to the show, made me feel quite proud of myself and NZ Beats.
I have the interview bellow for your listening pleasure, but I would suggest heading over to the Access Radio Blog and listening to the whole show there. That way you’ll also be able to hear another interview with a different kiwi podcaster Tom whose podcast, Like a Mad Dog Running through a Puddle of Gravy, consists of him and his brother shooting the shit about an array of different topics.
Hey Ki! Awesome interview!! You sound like it was “just another interview” hahaha casual as…..
Ki did sound completely natural! 
And it looks like he got himself another fan too: http://accessradioblog.org/archives/85#comment-22
Chris Knox
For those of you who don’t know Chris Knox, he arrived on the New Zealand music scene back in 1977 in arguably the most influential kiwi punk band The Enemy. Later he went on to form great bands like Toy Love and Tall Dwarfs as well as releasing a plethora of solo self produced albums. At the 2001 New Zealand Music Awards his 1990 track Not Given Lightly was chosen as New Zealand’s 13th best song of all time. 5 years later he started his own record label A Major Records and continues to create music to this day with The Nothing.
In order to send out my good vibes to Chris in this his time of recovery I have dedicated this weeks NZ Beats show to his work. Have a listen to the podcast below, or head over to NZ Beats for the full show notes.

Classical Sparks in the Park
Of course the highlight of the night was the firework finally. It started with a flaming apple being shot with a flaming arrow, then moved into a pretty spectacular firework rocket display that match a classical music score that was being played.
Pretty good start to the Waitangi Day weekend.
Fireworks
Here is another music video I happened across the other day. Puppets weren’t this cool since The Swedish Chef.

I knew a Christian once. I’m pretty sure she gave hugs. Full frontal too
