After nearly a full season of being amazing I had finally managed to get some people along to behold my magnificence!
Paul Ninja gets an honourable mention for showing up, albeit too late to see me score 58, to see me grab 5-11 earlier in the season, thusly proving my amazing.

Kate, Mel, Micah, Baz, The Wife™, and BMP members Bob, Paul and Mick the Kfc kid, all found themselves enthralled by my obvious exquisite talent this last Saturday passed.
All were there on this auspicious occasion to watch the mighty Kumeu top side play the `evil Ellerslie squad of death’ on Michaels Ave #2. Ellerslie having beaten our heroes twice this season, once without the hero of this here report, were table toppers this season. But now we were into the top 4 round robin, and I was playing this time!

They won the toss and chose to bat. I opened the bowling and was met with much resistance before resting due to the extreme heat of the day, birds were falling out the sky pre cooked it was soo hot!
Then other people did stuff until I bowled again!
I took 3 wickets in my last 4 overs helping in bowling the great foe out, one wicket was more amazing than pretty much any thing else that happened that day. A mammoth brute of batsman, 10 foot tall if he was foot, let one fly back at me, whom after hurling the ball down at such velocity was still in the throes of my follow through, usually preventing anything other than evasive action by lesser players, and then with the reactions of a cat on P! I snatched the wretched ball from the air as nonchalantly as possible when your reaction time is measured in 1000ths of a second!! The assorted masses went wild, as one would expect after seeing such an amazing spectacle.

The Nasty Ellerslie had managed a rather meager total of 298 off their allotted 40 overs, they were shifting in the seats knowing this would likely not be enough once they saw me padding up. After opening the bowling with such aplomb and the game being a final of sorts I was asked to open the batting as well, a feat only achieved by the most amazing cricketers.
I quickly asserted myself and lay them to waste with my willow sword, they changed the bowlers seemingly every over as they all fell before me.
After what must have seemed like forever for the Vile Ellerslie players, I finally surrendered my wicket for 69 at a run a ball. Setting up the remainder of my team for a heroic win. Yu my ask why I gave them a sniff of victory by handing them my wicket? It is true that I had the chance to go on and score the majority of the runs, but I am a modest team man, and felt it had been long enough for me, and some of the less fortunate members could use this time at the crease for their own enjoyment.

The huddled masses all stood at attention as I strode off the battlefield, my work done.

It has been mentioned that I may be a touch amazing?
Now I have proven once and for all that that is not factual.
I am truly amazing

We won of course.

Bob, the Wife™ and I are now friends of the Small Speckled Kiwi and Saddleback.

On the Wife’s suggestion we piled onto a ferry, braving the tsunami!, to the beautiful Motuihe Island this Sunday past.
We dug out holes for Kiwi’s, repotted some natives and harvested some cabbage tree seeds before finding ourselves swimming on a mostly deserted beach.
Things we learned :

1 The Saddleback was deemed extinct in the 80’s only to be rediscovered on the hen and chook islands.

2 Motuihe is possibly the worst pronounced Maori name going, you all prolly know the island from it white guy pronunciation – Motuhi

3 Tsunami’s? we shit em!

Memory Tapes – Seek Magic

I’ve read a bit about this solo dude from Southern New Jersey. I find his music’s almost like The Cure, New Order and Studio all rolled in to one but actually way more awesome than that sounds. He’s apparently a stay at home Dad who has no drivers license (must be a music nerd) and also records under the names Memory Cassette and Weird Tapes but under the moniker Memory Tapes merges the two and remixes, which he’s getting massive props for and giving them away for free on his blog

Joris Voorn – Balance 14

Has any mix CD since Closer to the Edit included as many tracks and been as superbly produced as this? Not to my knowledge. The way the first CD is so god damn good that i would have to say it was THE best set i heard all year. I’m tempted now to go back and hear some of the other Balance comps although none interest me all that much.

jj: jj n° 2

Scandinavians are up to it again!!!!!! this time in the form of these two Swedes. What is it about 16 hours of darkness in winter that enables so many of them to make this dreamy pop music that is hard to turn your nose up at? Maybe it’s the 16 hours plus of sunlight in Summer? I did turn my nose up at this for a while and then i heard Ecstasy which made me give them a bit more of a chance than the initial 1 skip through.

Bat for Lashes – Two Suns

Easily my favourite current pop act in the world. Seeing Bat for Lashes perform live at Latitude Festival last year really sealed the deal for me. Slays on Ladyhwake, Gaga, Florence and the Machines … I kinda can’t believe she’s from Brighton though; eighh… This album is so perfect. Songs follow on enabling the flow to take grasp and keep your attention while you catch a bus, walk a river and ride through spanish fields in a train.

Omar S – Fabric

When news broke of Omar S doing his own fabric and he retailiated to the dicks on RA, who said he was copying Ricardo Villalobos, by saying he had never heard of Ricardo Wiwalobos, i was hysterical. Then the Mix came out and it was way better than Ricardo’s and that was about the same time i had stopped reading the RA ‘forums’ so i don’t know how that silenced the critics, but i can only hope it did..after the fairly hectic start it settles in and god it’s good.
