Of national pride and distractions from across the pond

The month of May has been New Zealand Music Month since the furore over music quotas back in 2001, and with every passing year my interest in New Zealand music lessens that little bit more.
Looking at my itunes, the only New Zealand tracks I've got are So So Modern's Synthgasm, Moron Says What!?'s Sleep and Wikipedia and Bang Bang Eche's Time Management and 4 To The Floor. That would be five songs in a library spanning many thousands.
I'm sorry, but I struggle to get into New Zealand music when we can't come up with anything that comes even remotely close to competing with the likes of this behemoth of a track from across the Tasman.
I love Out There On The Ice so much I'm flying to Melbourne in a matter of weeks to see Cut Copy play this at the Forum.
I love Out There On The Ice so much I often have to force myself to listen to other music.
I love Out There On The Ice so much I can't care less about New Zealand Music Month.
8 aspersions cast:
I have no Kiwi music except Anika Moa - and that is more because I like her personailty.
That sounds just like "I read Playboy for the articles"
Damm me too!
I only like 2 bands from New Zealand, and they're
Disasteradio & Pig Out
All of my favs are across the ditch!
I've heard of them but not actually heard them - hook a brother up
Who me?........Well I hook you up with Disasteradio, but Kitt from Pig Out has yet to give me their album
Yes, you
A friend of mine sent me some Pig Out last year - I should probably dig it up and have a listen
Yeah man I'll hook you up with some Disasteradio tracks.....As soon as my dad gets off the phone!
Hopefully you can find some cool NZ music on my website.
I think there is a lot more good kiwi music than people think.
