Let's Face It, the 1980'S Were Responsible for Some Truly Horrific
80sX Let’s face it, the 1980’s were responsible for some truly horrific crimes against fashion: shoulder-pads, leg-warmers, the unforgivable mullet ! What’s evident though, now more than ever, is that the 80’s provided us with some of the best music ever made. It doesn’t seem to matter if you were alive in the 80’s or not, those songs still resonate with people and trigger a joyous reaction for anyone that hears them. Auckland band 80sX take the greatest new wave, new romantic and synth pop hits and recreate the magic and sounds of the 80’s with brilliant musicianship and high energy vocals. Drummer and programmer Andrew Maclaren is the founding member of multi platinum selling band stellar* co-writing mega hits 'Violent', 'All It Takes' and 'Taken' amongst others. During those years he teamed up with Tom Bailey from iconic 80’s band The Thompson Twins to produce three albums, winning 11 x NZ music awards, selling over 100,000 albums and touring the world. Andrew Thorne plays lead guitar and brings a wealth of experience to 80’sX having played all the guitars on Bic Runga’s 11 x platinum debut album ‘Drive’.

Flip Grater 2011
EUROPEAN TOUR MARCH-APRIL FLIP GRATER 2011 Flip has delivered an album with a rare sensitivity .There are echoes in the delivery of the finest French singers a la Françoise Hardy and Carla Bruni- except Flip is singing in English. A beautiful rare gem. Roger Marbeck A beautifully crafted album by a songwriter who has honed her craft, presenting us with a album of substance, raw fragility and strength. This is her best work yet. – Jan Hellriegel “When you listen to Flip Grater you can’t help but fall in love with her a little bit. Her latest album is languid, smooth and delicious.” – Samantha Hayes, 3news The best art comes from suffering, so returning from Sweden in her twenties with a broken heart, music was her antidote. With over seven years of creating a sound Flip Grater is renowned for, the release of an EP, three critically acclaimed albums (2006's Cage For A Song, 2008's Be All And End All and 2010’s While I’m Awake I’m At War, a published book and a tour history that takes her meandering through 11 or so countries, Flip is seasoned. In 2006 her track Long Awaited Sigh turned heads across the folk and alt-country scene, with a track from it selected by producers of the hit US TV show Brothers and Sisters. This was followed by two trips to SXSW festival in Austin, TX with a showcase line-up including Luke Zimmerman and Kris Kristoffeson. Flip’s latest release While I’m Awake I’m At War has had NZ media calling her “the brunette¨ Stevie Nicks due to songs such as the single 'Careful', a meandering alt country ditty with a Fleetwood Mac feel.

Essential Criteria for Maximising the Playlist Potential of New Zealand

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Hook, Line & Singer! Essential criteria for maximising the play list potential of New Zealand music on commercial radio: A Programme Directors' perspective A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Media Studies at Massey University Palmerston North, New Zealand Karen Neill 2000 'Station and programme directors act as gatekeepers, being responsible for ensuring a prescribed and identifiable sound or format, based on what the management of the station believes will generate the largest audience - and ratings - and consequent advertising revenue. The ... prograrnme director ... will regularly sift through new releases, selecting three or four to add to the playlist. The criteria underpinning this process will normally be a combination of the reputation of the artist; a record's previous performance, if already released overseas; whether the song fits the station's format; and, at times, the gut intuition of those making the decision. In the case of the first of these factors, reputation and previous track record, publicity material from the label/artist/distributor plays an important role, jogging memories or sparking interest in a previously unknown artist' (Shuker, 1998, p. 242). Abstract For years the commercial radio industry in New Zealand has fought against regulation oflocal music on the airwaves, citing that in the competitive radio environment (a product of governmental deregulation of the industry) it would be detrimental to both their business and the present levels oflocal content being achieved voluntarily by radio.

The Glue of the World : Popular Music in Film Soundtracks
Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. 'The Glue of the World': Popular music in film soundtracks. A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts m Media Studies at Massey University, Palmerston North New Zealand. Lauren Anderson 1999 Abstract. Popular music has a strong presence in many contemporary films, frequently replacing, or displacing, the 'classical' soundtrack. The question arises of whether a popular music soundtrack achieves similar functions to traditional, 'classical' film music. Investigating this question is the primary aim of this thesis. An outline of film music theory is followed by an overview of how meaning is produced in popular music. These two areas of discussion are then brought together in the neoformalist analyses of the textual relations between the popular music soundtrack and the narrative, characterisation, and themes of three contemporary films: Sliding Doors (1997, Peter Howitt), Empire Records (1995, Allan Moyle), and Topless Women Talk About Their Lives (1997, Harry Sinclair). The uses and functions of the music in these soundtracks are then compared to the conventions of 'classical' Hollywood film music. This thesis will show that the popular songs in the soundtracks of the three films generally fulfil one or more of six functions which are usually performed by 'classical' Hollywood film music. There are some important differences, however, as the songs frequently draw on features which are specific to popular music.

A MUSICOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF NATURE’S BEST A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at The University of Waikato by NICHOLAS BRAAE The University of Waikato 2012 Abstract Academic research on New Zealand popular music has primarily been conducted from historical and cultural perspectives. While asking important questions, these sources have rarely engaged with the musical details of New Zealand popular music. This thesis is a musicological analysis of the 100 songs from the three Nature’s Best albums. The musical perspective complements the socio-cultural research on New Zealand popular music. The Nature’s Best project was instigated by Mike Chunn in 2001 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA). All songwriting members of APRA and 100 celebrities and critics were invited to vote for their ten favourite New Zealand popular songs.
