Are we talking about Dave Dobbyn now?
I always thought that was what music was for? sadly people then grow up and their ideals change and then music is just a background to their commuter trip while playing farmanimalville
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Yes possibly a bit harsh. I certainly didn't mean any offence to your fine self as the OP, so apologies if I have (crappy day of dealing with idiots possibly influencing my posting mood).

I bought a looper pedal a few years ago and did a big trawl of you tube for inspiration, there is some incredible stuff out there. So much so that my pedal pretty much stayed in its box, it was demotivating, if anything...

I guess I've been a little over-exposed to the sampling and looper stuff, plus with my dislike of that style of music just made it really hard for me to listen to. But then I'm into metal, I'm supposed to be a judgemental dick :D

Nah Mate. The problem with this form of communication is the limited context. I wasn't calling you that hard at all. No offence and no apologies necessary. :rofl:
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

if anything, the sample he used was a little cliché. I would have liked to hear something more original or culturally closer to NZ sensibilities.
here is a short rhyme I wrote from the inspiration:

the adoption of American culture
comes not from the people
but from MK Ultra
its a done deal fail
acting up king hit
waiting for jail

Good to see a NZ musician working hard and enjoying the hard work of creating art.

love it, but then I'm a big BBQ reggae fan.

Quote enjoy the way he uses delay on his vocals too, very cool.

As a person? Have you met him? I've played a few gigs with him and he has always conducted himself in a kind, thoughtful, down to earth manner. I've played with many other NZ artists that do not act that way. From what I read, he sang the song "Fuck the police". Is that really a crime? They sing John Lennon's Imagine in churches and no one bats an eyelid.

I don't like his music at all, but I fully support any artist to sing whatever they like. Anything less is censorship. And censorship can go get fucked.

I've met him and he's a nice guy. I'm completely against his singing of Fuck the Police though, NZ law enforcement don't need more trouble. He seems to be one of those guys who has a need to be super vocal about his left status. Not sure why, but there's a lot of people like that in the music scene

Maybe it's because there's a lot of shitty stuff happening outside the music scene?

Anyway, that's as far as I want to go. I don't want this thread to get political.

I get bored of BBQ reggae but I do like some of it if I'm in the mood. Salmonella Dub used to be one of my reference songs when trialling headphones.

I would guess if he had been vocalising rightwing views that may limit his audience

Do you think NZ needs a right wing garden BBQ regge artist.

I thought the original comment was a little strange, the one about how he is political or seems to have a need to preach.

I don't believe you understood my comment
