This are just some old vacation photos I had laying around that I just couldn’t part with. These were taken just shortly after I got a new camera and I was putting it through it’s paces.
The shots were taken down at Waihi Beach.

Shot of the Day – DJ Cash Money at Highlife NYE 2009/10
Hi all,
I’m just doing some editing on all the photos I took at Highlife New Year’s Eve Experience 2009/10 and stumbled across this one I took of American turntablist, hip hop artist and record producer, DJ Cash Money aka Jerome Hewlett, doing his thing.
In case of some of you aren’t aware of him, he was the first inductee into the DJ Hall of Fame. I’ve embedded a brief interview with him below.
Update: Ha! I just discovered I had the wrong guy’s photo up. I’ve fixed it now! ;)
There are so many photos I want to share with you all – I thought I had taken about 600 photos, it turned out to be well over 900 – however there are just so many I can’t decide on my “best of’s”. Please do check back from time to time and I’m promise that more will appear here very soon.
Kind regards
Happy New Year 2010!

Hi all,
This is my last post of 2009! So, from A Colourful Gal, aka Crab Bag, and myself, Happy New Year 2010!
I’ll be away all day and all night today at the Highlife New Year’s Eve Experience 2009/10. So you probably wont hear from me for a day or so. However, please be on the lookout for my coverage of the event, after I recover from a night of debauchery that is, and gradually regain usage of the language centre of my brain…
Yeah, I’ll be totally wildin’ on the night! ;)
Kind regards
Smashproof New Years Eve Party 2009/10

Hi all,
I’ve just found out about another big New Years Eve event, the Smashproof party in Whakatane.
Now for those of you not familiar with Smashproof they’re a New Zealand-South Pacific Hip-hop group that blew up this year with their breakthrough hit, Brother featuring Gin Wigmore. I was going to embed the video below. However, Youtube has disallowed it! Wankers! ;)
Instead I’ll embed a photo below of myself with Young Sid from the group! Har har! ;)
Kind regards

Hi all,
My mates, Adam Bennett and Anna Jobsz, are kicking off what promises to be the party of the decade tomorrow at Matakana Country Park just 45 minutes north of Auckland.
Since yours truly has VIP/Media access you can bet your last dollar that I’ll be there snapping away and partying on and on until the break of dawn! ;)
Highlife New Years Eve Experience 2009/10 features a huge line-up of musical acts this year and I’ll do my best to get up-close and personal with my favourites. Hopefully, they’ll be some of your favourites too. If not, oh well, you should have bought a ticket and come to the show yourself! ;)
For more information – I think there might be some tickets left – please click here.
Holla like you know, even if you don’t!
Kind regards
The Soldier of Love’s First “Official” Video - Sade
Video/Sade
Hi all,
If you recall I blogged about the 2010 release of Sade’s new CD, entitled “Soldier of Love” a few days back. Well, featured above is what’s supposed to be the first official video of the first single from the CD.
If I sound a little dismissive about it it’s because we know how the rumour mill works on the Internet. And, the above video has nothing in common with the one that’s on Sade’s site at the moment except for the actual music.
Update: The video above is actually from Love Is Stronger Than Pride! However, the music is from the new CD!
Kind regards
The Prodigy come back to New Zealand!

Hi all,
Those sonic rave badboys, Keith Flint, Liam Howlett, and Maxim Reality (pictured above), aka The Prodigy, are due back in Auckland at Trust Stadium on February 25, 2010. Tickets go on sale on December 10.
I’ve been a huge fan of the band ever since the release of their 1997 CD “The Fat of the Land”. And, “Breathe”, the video which I’ve embedded below, is one of my personal top 100 favourite songs!
Hopefully, I’ll see some of you at the concert, and don’t forget… Breathe with me!
Kind regards

The Soldier of Love Returns - Sade

Hi all,
Remember sultry Nigerian-British songstress Sade Adu? I’m sure you do! Well, after ten long years since her last CD, Lover’s Rock, was released she’s due to release a new one entitled “Solider of Love” on February 8th, 2010!

Though no details about Sade's new music have yet been revealed, one artist heard early versions of several songs: Maxwell, a fellow Sony recording artist and longtime friend and collaborator with Matthewman. The R&B singer sent a message to fans in March via his private Facebook page in which he indicated that he'd heard some of his labelmate's new recordings. "Trust me, it's so monolithic it'll shake you in your shoes!" he wrote. Source/Billboard.com

Al Green Sexes Up NZ!
Video/Gabe Solomon Music/Al Green
Hi all,
I just found out a couple of days ago that legendary soul singer, Al Green, is playing in Auckland on the 21st of January, 2010 at the Civic. This will be Al’s first ever appearance in New Zealand.
My father was, and probably still is, a huge Al Green fan. And, I can recall many an hour spent cruising around with Dad in the car as we listened to Al’s silky-smooth singing voice on an 8 track deck. Yes! That was a long time ago! ;)
In terms of his music, Al has this knack for blending emotion and erotica in such a way that neither overpowered the other. In other words: He wants you to give it to him and not hold back with it. But, he’s going remind you that he loves you while you do so. ;)
Al has had a very lengthy career spanning some 40+ years. He’s released 40+ albums so far, selling 150+ million copies, and has won 11 Grammys!
I may see some of you at the show!
Kind regards
