It’s only been an hour? And she’s already drunk? BLESS. HEART U GURL.the only thing worse than NZ music is the fact we give out awards for it.
I love [some] NZ music :\
me too, but i think its fundamentally wrong to award and praise music in such a way just because it is NZ music. overall our sound is pretty crap, and stolen from alot of other, better influences. im not saying all nz music is bad, i just think its tokenist to hold awards every year based on the fact that people making it are ‘NZ’ its like, not a very large pool, not an overally talented pool, and its just a waste of time and money better spent on allowing more people to bring their music to the world, not just nz, and praising (oh so sickenly) the few mediocre ones we have.
I don’t think it should be seen in such a negative light, what’s wrong with praising what talent our modest country does have? And how can you generalise NZ musicians as “our sound”? Unless you’re talking about one genre? It’s the unsupportive people like yourself that cause NZ musicians to not reach success on a larger scale to begin with.
