What a fabulous Friday. A late and leisurely breakfast followed by the news that Lync has sold his first track to San Francisco. I have an uncanny feeling that Lync's Little Red Car is going to be a hit. Not a bad start for the debut release from a young Kiwi 8 year old. (Want to hear it?).
I had a lot of fun on our radio show this week. We played some new tracks fresh in from Si-Fi, Baxter's newest hard dance stomper (to be named), and some hard dance from Dark Desire a young UK producer that Justin Sane found on the net. Then the lovely Javed Haider (the New Zealand winner of last year's Heineken Found at Thirst competition) brought in his new house track. Chelfyn and I were stoked to get so many great tracks in one day, and our weekly playlist is now around the 80% Kiwi music mark!
It's such a buzz giving new tracks their very first airplay, and being able to find out what listeners think through MSN. [Use studio@twisted.co.nz to add the Twisted Studio to your MSN list]. The TMet Drive beaming live from Auckland to Australia and beyond! I had a good chat with Fury in Melbourne, who sent me pictures of him raving with Lee Haslam and inadvertantly flashed my tits at the world when I changed my top. It was only when I was down to my bra that I remembered the webcam...
After handing over to Chaos & Mayhem we headed up K'Rd to the Covert Theatre to catch the Barbie is Dead 'Femprov' show. The Covert is New Zealand's only live comedy theatre and well worth supporting. It's intimate and relaxed with a strange bar bell ritual by a man in a bowler hat. Barbie is Dead is guffaw guaranteed. My favourite storyline (using a Canadian style of montage improv) was the prostitue with Tourettes. The show runs Thursday - Saturday from 8 p.m. until the 26th June so catch it if you can!

We popped back into the Twisted studios on the way back to say hello to Ali Storm, a young British DJ who's been in Auckland 6 months. Then it was home for dinner and an old movie, curled up in front of a roaring fire with Chelfyn and the kits. It doesn't get much better than that.
