Stonking
Winter fires
NZ’s performance thus far at the Football World Cup
The Now Show and other audio comedies that makes bob smile in the wee small hours
Comfort food on cold nights

Wearing socks on ones head
Friends
Amusing diversions
Donking
Winter

The Rugby World Cup
The failure of capitalism
Corporates that don’t serve humanity (I think thats all of them ain’t it?)

Dog’s leg is better
End of our `winter of discontent’

RATSHIT

Springs 4 seasons in 1hr
Our `winter of discontent’

The great, the average and the run for the hills

Things that excite me:
Fantastic summer days
Balmy evenings
Cold beer in the fridge and me belly
Friends
Being home alone for a week
The resulting Bob’s week of Meat
Antony &  The Johnsons
Music mixes on the bob pod
Finally filling the bobpod and now culling rubbish
Ian M Banks – a recent reading plunge that has come up trumps
Being set loose to DJ at a friends 40th birthday party
Gigs worth attending – almost too many right now
Good people getting hitched (Cath & Dylan, Damien & Sarah)
Friends starting new jobs
BSG starting again… oh yeah 10 fresh episodes to dull …

Hot
- Four Months of not working over Summer: ’nuff said.
- The Stax Records Documentary: without a doubt the highlight of this years Auckland Film Fesitval…I’ve never walked out of a movie theatre with a massive smile, feeling so damn good about everything, and with a strong desire to immediately break into all the local music stores to try and collect all the outstanding music that I had just sampled. Props to the Ninja for …

Roy Ayers hot or not

All the Ak based BMP members were in attendance for Jazz/Funk legend Roy Ayers’ gig on saturday night.  I don’t know if the others have much to say about it. 
 
Instead of a review here is a hot or not as I am at work and don’t have time.
Hot:
Nearly beating the ninja at ‘burnout 3: takedown’ despite his supposed superiority.
Lengthy and mostly good set from Mr Ayers and band, hitting on his most well known songs early on (We live in Brooklyn, everybody loves the sunshine, running away) and continuing on …

Moritz Von Oswald Trio – Live at Daikanyama Unit 11/7/08

I feel like stinkfinger is sitting comfortably between the ramblings of a group of friends and a slightly more professional music blog – so I don’t have any problem with diverting immediately from the topic at hand and dialling back the night a few hours.
We start the night off at a resturant with some excellent dinner – along with my friends Daniel and Ayako I eat various sashimi, some fantastic beef tataki, something delicious and rubbery that I hope was octopus, a large piece of cooked tuna, crumbed and fried …
