STEPPiN’ oUr WaYPsych/surf-pop heads Sun Araw AKA Cameron Stallones will be returning to New Zealand next year in February for two North Island shows. Following his time here last year, Sun Araw will play Wellington’s Mighty Mighty and Auckland’s Whammy in celebration of his new album Ancient Romans, being released through Drag City. The folks over at Rose Quartz are bringing Stallones back, and if there’s one thing they know it’s good music. Absolute Boys are announced as the support act, with more to be confirmed.

STiNK BroStink Magnetic’s 13th birthday brings a stinkin’ good time to Christchurch in December. The three day festival Stink Fest 13 sees Golden Axe, Boss Christ, Ritchie Venus, Double Ya D, Delaney Davidson, Commander Robot!, Planet of the Tapes, I Drink Your Blood, Andrew Tolley’s The Bloody Souls, The Grand Chancellors, T.A Maracas and Mono Sonic play at The Darkroom and Dux Live from Thursday 15 December through to Saturday 17 December. All these bands over three days for a measly $10 means anyone not in Christchurch can probably afford the air fare down there for this weekend festival.

FarMErS MarK iTFarmageddon goes down at Waipu Cove this year on Saturday 03 December. The 2011 line-up sees the likes of Electric Wire Hustle, David Dallas, Bulletproof, P Money, Home Brew, The A.R.C, MayaVanya, Nick D, Chaos in the CBD and more join the festivities. For ticket, accommodation and transport info head to farmageddon.co.nz.

BaSEliNE DEUCEWith summer on the way the sporting festivals get into full swing, and the folks behind the Heineken Open Baseline After Party have announced The Phoenix Foundation and Barnaby Weir as the headline acts. Can tennis be the new rugby? It’s a whole different kind of excitement, plus it happens in summer. Bonus. The Heineken Open itself starts on Friday 05 January and runs through to Saturday 14 January.

ThiNNEr ThaN WaTErAustralian singer/songwriter Jordie Lane is celebrating the release of his sophomore album Blood Thinner with a 14-stop tour around the country with support from Matt Langley and Mel Parsons in November. Lane has supported the likes of Cat Power, Neko Case, Gotye, Old Crow Medicine Show and more, as well as being nominated at the Australian Independent Music Awards. Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Picton, Dunedin, Timaru, Christchurch and plenty of other towns will host the Australian on his NZ tour.

No loNgEr DENiEDSan Francisco’s Thee Oh Sees are coming to New Zealand in January for three shows. Auckland’s Whammy, Mighty Mighty and Wellington and the ARC Theatre in Wanganui are all playing host to John Dwyer and crew as they head down under. The good folks from The High Seas are bringing the band over, and while the shows in Wellington and Wanganui will be door sales, Auckland tickets are a measly $10 + booking fee. That’s crazy cheap for such a great band coming all the way over to our little pocket of the world.

No CarDiNal EFForTRyan Adams will be playing two New Zealand shows in March as he celebrates the release of this new album Ashes & Fire. These won’t be his first shows in the country, but they will be his first solo performances that we’ve seen. Usually accompanied by The Cardinals, Adams will be playing all on his lonesome at his Dunedin show at the Regent Theatre on Tuesday 06 March and at the Civic Theatre in Auckland on Thursday 08 March. Both shows are all ages.

WhaT’S ThE SKiNNY, lovE?The New Zealand International Arts Festival always brings a varied range of talent, and next year’s event in the capital sees Bon Iver arrive on our shores. The critically acclaimed star will play two shows in February at the Wellington Town Hall. Tickets are on sale now from Ticketek and are available for anywhere between $40 and $90 for these very select shows.

a BrEaTh oF FrESh FirEThe How To Train Your Dragon Arena Spectacular will be coming our way next year, bringing with it a crazy amount of what you could maybe class as extreme puppetry. The performance has over 20 dragons on show that will be one of those for-the-kids-but-grown-ups-enjoy-it-too sort of deals. Wednesday 18 April through to Sunday 22 April will be the dates of the eight shows. Think Walking with Dinosaurs, except flying with dragons.

Relationship status? I’m married to my job!

Favourite drink? Orange juice is usually my tipple of choice as it’s chock-full of vitamin Democra-C. I am however partial to an intoxicating cocktail of youthful exuberance and democratic participation. Mmmm… tasty!

Any vices? Ad-vice? I’m big on that and you can’t shut me up when it comes to answering questions about enrolling and voting.

First gig played? When and where? 27 July 2002, in polling booths all over New Zealand. Two million people turned up for my very first gig, which was pretty cool.

First gig in attendance? Well they don’t let me out much to be honest…

First album? Alvin and the Chipmunks: Still Squeaky After All These Years. What can I say? I was young, it came with a free T-shirt and we have the same animators.

Favourite current album? Any box set and I’m happy. Ballot boxes especially.

When I grow up I wanna be? Redundant, retired, hanging out on a beach somewhere because everyone in New Zealand doesn’t need me to remind them to enrol or vote – they just do it because it’s the best way to have your say in how this place is run.

First job? This one! I tried out as a Rugby World Cup mascot but they couldn’t find a team in my colour.

Guilty pleasures? Private fist pumps any time someone aged 18-24 enrolls to vote.

FilM NEWS The big-screen remake of 21 Jump Street has a trailer. And what’s surprising is that Channing Tatum doesn’t look like a total dickhead. Jonah Hill seems to carry most of the comedy which turns out representing the film as an action-comedy Superbad.

A trailer is out for Wanderlust – the new film starring Paul Rudd and Jennifer Anniston. What might otherwise seem like a rom-com crock of cheesy piss, the film has some good names behind it. Directed by David Wain (Role Models, Wet Hot American Summer, Childrens Hospital) and co-starring Malin Akerman, Justin Theroux, Joe Lo Truglio and Alan Alda, the trailer doesn’t sell it in the best way but we’ve got faith in the actors.

This week EMI has released two new deluxe packages of Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here. The Immersion and Experience editions are the second phase of the label’s re-releases with tracks personally chosen by David Gilmour, Roger Waters and drummer Nick Mason, who tells us a little bit about the release.

On why the catalogue is being released:It’s a chance to issue and reissue material

with all its packaging... it’s one of the things that I think is really missing at the moment from downloads, I think long term there probably will be added value in downloading, and there’ll be video and all sorts of other interesting things, but at the moment a download is a fairly ephemeral thing compared to the concept of the album.

On the evolution of Pink Floyd’s sound:We changed with the times. I think we

were heavily influenced by all sorts of other things... I think the R&B bands all started heading off into other territory. Cream might be the best example of that, where they went off into using the R&B structure, but into the very extended solos, which of course were never part of the original concept.

On the unreleased material included in the catalogue:

We had been opposed to a lot of stuff coming out before because what we’ve now been able to do is do a lot of repair work, so the quality has been improved enormously

IMMERSE YOURSElF

with different ways of cleaning things up... That simply wasn’t available to us ten years ago, but it is now, so I think that’s another reason why some of this has actually come around to being released.

On his favourite releases in the catalogue:

The record that I really still have great affection for is Saucerful Of Secrets. I think that was the beginning of finding different ways of doing things, I think the title track was important because it borders on not being rock music at all, it borders on being something else, but it is still in the genre. ‘Set The Controls’ is still one of my favourite tracks of all time, I like the playing on it and I like the song and the atmosphere of it is fantastic.

On what it would be like if Pink Floyd started now:

I think the problem is that bands are very much of their time. I think first of all we’d have been laughed off The X Factor, we’d have failed for Britain’s Got Talent, we’d have been a disaster... we’d have ended up on Big Brother, I suspect.

Over 100 international and local bands, DJs and performers get together to the Circulation Festival down in Dunedin. Running for five days, the festival has plenty to feast your eyeholes and earballs on with art, live music, performance and more exciting junk that we’ll class under “miscellaneous”. Oh, mysterious.

The Checks kick off their nationwide tour as they celebrate their newest album Deadly Summer Sway. Wellington audiences are treated to two shows this Friday – first off at Zeal where the band will be playing an all ages gig before heading to Bodega to play for all the grownups.

French beatmaker Onra heads to Auckland for a one off show at Khuja. The sound magician’s live performance will be recorded live for Red Bull Music Academy Radio with a number of bombshells on the support bill such as Julien Dyne, Funkommunity, Side Steps Quintet and more.

Another weekend, another nunloading of good quality gigs. F In Math and Alphabethead play at Golden Dawn in Auckland; HDU with guests Glass Vaults and Bevan Smith play at San Fran Bath House in the capital; and down south The Bats celebrate their Free All The Monsters EP release in Dunedin.

The Show Me Shorts festival is in full swing around the country. Auckland’s Capitol, Brideway and Waiheke cinemas are all playing the selected shorts, along with Wellington’s Paramount, the Hollywood Cinema in Christchurch and Rialto in Dunedin which all kick off this Thursday.

When stars like Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Laurence Fishburne, Marion Cotillard, Elliott Gould and Demetri Martin all get together for a thriller about a potential worldwide plague in a movie by Steven Soderbergh, you may as well start racking up the Oscars.

GENERAL RELEASE

Mix stabs at the Orakei rich with con-artists and life coaches and you’ll get something like the newest comedy on the Auckland theatrical block, Tartuffe. The production is playing at Q Theatre from Fri 04 Nov through to Sat 26 Nov.

Dating is hard. There’s a lot of awkwardness in unnecessary situations. But hey, at least you’ve got opposable thumbs. Birds don’t. This production shows how courting goes down in the ornithological world.

The Fringe Bar hosts a night for the love of pole. Can you spin on it? Can you swing on it? Can you hang upside down with your legs crossed, squeezing tighter than your shoe fillers have ever squeezed before?

The funnyman kicks off his first of three shows in Auckland this Wednesday following his performances in Wellington. There’s a good chance that tickets will sell out before we go to print, so if you’ve got one – well, lucky you.

The Royal New Zealand Ballet finishes up the second and final night of The Sleeping Beauty down in Invercargill. It’s not the Disney version, and it’s not exactly the dark, horror-esque indie-house film version. It’s the ballet version.

Six60 has added another gig to their Auckland shows before heading overseas. The band play Friday and Saturday at the Powerstation – their last shows before doing the regional New Years rounds.

The Longroom’s night of burlesque has mixed things up and moved to Friday. The likes of Miss Cherry Lashes, Foxie French, Trixxie Vixen, Honey Dazzle and Miss V will be keeping your eyes fixed.

Pub quizzes are great. Truth be told, there are really about 100 other pub quizzes around the country today. But if you’re in Wellington and you’re free on Wednesday, then quiz out with the MM gang.

LAUNCH PARTY

Usually a lot of burlesque goes down in Auckland and Wellington, so when a week of it turns up in Dunedin it’s a nice little treat. The Loons Circus Theatre is putting on Berlin Burlesque at Sammy’s, running through from Wednesday through to Sunday. Sexy circus dancing on a Saturday? There’s worse ways to roll.

It’s cool to have lights and a place to chill, but there’s something missing. Like culture. Enter Art in the Dark. The second year of the event promises a bunch of family friendly entertainment using the landscape of the park. We’re rapt to see a contemporary light festival deliver across so many fronts.

Watercolours plays at the ninth issue launch party of Presence Magazine. Starting around 5pm, head along to Golden Dawn in Ponsonby before crossing the road to Art in the Dark. It’s kind of the best night Ponsonby’s seen since that time Dan Carter was dining in public and you got that sweet photo with him.

The Otago Daily Times is lighting up the Forsyth Barr Stadium this Saturday afternoon onwards. They’re calling it Coca Cola Christmas in the Park on speed, only without the carols. A wide array of performers from Dunedin and elsewhere are on the bill, as well as ensemble performances and an impressively large dance troupe.

The fiery redhead songstress has had a big 2011. She’s been on the road with Anna Coddington, found critical acclaim with The Adults album and performances around the country and has been gigging solo everywhere from the farmiest of small towns to the skyscrapiest of cities. Julia Deans wraps up her mini showcase of gigs down in Wellington this Saturday.

It’s Beastwars’ last show before they head back to the studio. This year has been a big one for the band with plenty of awards and praise thrown their way, and no doubt they’ll be going down in style at Wellington’s home of rock. Make sure that you get your hands on some of that specially brewed Hallertau Beastwars India Pale Ale before it becomes nothing but a pale memory.

Oh man. Cesar Millan. That guy just walks into a room and controls the bitches. He’s the leader of the pack. He tells the craziest dog in the world to be quiet, and it does. He’s got a smile that warms middle-aged divorced women’s hearts. He trained Cartman into being a good boy. He truly is the dog whisperer.

Retro fairs are great. It’s basically like an afternoon festival of op-shops and craftmarkets. So when you see that there’s one going down at Auckland’s Alexandra Park Raceway with genuine retro goodies from the ‘50s to ‘70s with over 30 stalls selling the likes of furniture, china, jewellery, fabric, records, collectables and whatnot, it’s worth checking out.

AuSTrALiA’S fAvouriTE PoTTY-MouTH criMinAL PAroDY iS coMinG To A ToWn nEAr You THiS novEMBEr… AnD HE’S BrinGinG A MATE.

Chopper doesn’t like journalists; we’re on his list of people who can get fucked. When you’re told you’ve got interview time with him a few things go through your head, like that he is going to eat you alive and then tell you to harden the fuck up. i was almost as nervous as that time i shouted “west side” out in Whakatane. so when out-of-character heath Franklin answered the phone it was somewhat of a relief. no fucks, no bloodies and no shits, suspiciously polite Franklin’s grasp of the english language was a lot more tame than his alter ego.

When you peel off the squiggly line tattoos and take off the handlebar mo, you get a rather anonymous Franklin. in Auckland for a brief stay before doing the comedy laps in Queensland and coming back here for a fifteen-stop tour, the “regular dude,” Franklin told us about the man behind the crassness and how the international ambassador of hard was born. ”i used to do a Chopper sketch at (Macquarie) Uni and took it to a Melbourne comedy festival,” he recalls.

Franklin says from that point, the tV executives leapt on it and gave him the opportunity needed to make the hard ass we all know. everyone has that mate that does that odd thing when they go out. “i used to be that guy running around as Chopper at parties,” he laughs. the idea for Franklin came from watching the eric Bana film “far too many times”. With the ‘real’ Chopper not giving too much away in reference material, the inspiration for Franklin’s alter ego grew from a mixture of frustration and attention. early on in Chopper’s ‘career’ working at The Ronnie Johns Half Hour, Franklin found himself ignored by the backroom tV folk. When he pulled out Chopper to speak up they all laughed and applauded, and listened. “people listen to Chopper,” Franklin says. “You get away with more than you usually would. Chopper is the best way to get an immediate reaction.”

Franklin met the real Chopper about six years ago and recalls it as being awkward. “it was pretty weird. he’s a hard guy to get along with – i think that’s the way he likes it.”

having an alter ego as a full time job can get a little confusing at times. Franklin says he finds himself and others dropping the f-bomb after shows. he also said there was one time where Chopper made his way into his head. “i had this dream that i was Chopper. it was pretty weird, walking round as him in my own head.” Franklin also likes taking a break from Chopper and hanging and talking serious (yeah i’ve seen him on tV too and thought that was shocking).

Chopper has been to the Uk but Franklin tends to keep him to Australia and new Zealand. “i found it was a really long way to fly to do a show for Australians,” he jokes. Franklin is looking forward to touring new Zealand; we are a little less disruptive than our Australian cousins. occasionally, he says, there’s a guy or two who sit there and yell at the stage. he’s also quite looking forward to taking some down time to see the country – although he’s been here before, his schedule’s usually too demanding to get out and look around.

this tour is Chopper’s A hard Bastard’s Guide to life and brings Man Vs. Wild’s Bear Grylls to new Zealand (in alter ego form). Franklin has brought him out to shows in Melbourne and Western Australia and says they went real well. the tour looks anti-establishment with the fucking around that has induced a “self-congratulatory, bargain-priced, capitalist-induced anxiety wank-storm,” in its sights. it’s a 60 minute blow-by-blow guide on how to punch life in the guts, and it should be well worth a visit to the provincial theatres for something other than the local high school’s annual interpretation of rodgers and hammerstein.

like Most GreAt things, Art in the dark was born out of a drunken conversation. i met Celia harrison, then a student of spatial design at AUt and now Art in the dark’s Creative director, back in the days when i still thought it was ok to wear fake glasses to house parties in Grey lynn.

Celia wanted to run an event as her final graduate project and in all my faux-near-sighted earnestness i nodded on, impressed as she explained her research on catalysing community through participatory event practice. (or i was soon to understand a little better once sober; making sure, rather than just looking on, the public can get involved and go beyond spectator status.) Adjusting my pointless spectacles, i mumbled a whisky-ed rhyme involving the words ‘park’ ‘dark’ and ‘art’ (which i probably pronounced ‘ark’ for continuity’s sake).

i quickly learnt that Celia is the kind of person who gets stuff done. one meeting later and all the clichés of cogs and wheels in motion applied. A committee was gathered: Adelle rodda as environmental Consultant (babe), hannah Cooke as Media Manager (babe), Xanthe harrison as Graphic designer (babe), i became the operations Manager (admirer of babes) and Celia was the enormous brain behind it all as Creative director (and of course, babe).

the event took shape. We wanted it to be local and so elected Western park as the host space. We then set the challenge of projects that had to be eco-friendly and be stunningly illuminated at night, wanting to attract a broad spectrum of artists from different disciplines. the formula worked. We made our way through the successful inaugural event last october by never having time to argue, being gratuitous with high fives, making sure there were always snacks at meetings and throwing plenty of launch parties.

it was a success and we were exhausted. overwhelmed by local support, we watched thousands of people potter through Western park. incredible illuminated pieces were much admired as picnics were munched on the embankments, kids ran happily riot and residents rediscovered a space they’d forgotten. projects ranged from a tiny, intricate city built into the water fountain, to a giant glowing chandelier made of recycled milk bottles suspended between trees, to sound installations that reverberated through the park’s ideally cavernous middle.

Celia’s genius prevailed and the committee has reformed to bring Art in the dark back to Western park on 11 & 12 november. We want it to be bigger and better and so the team has expanded to include such grown-

up positions as a sponsorship Manager – Joy ramirez (babe) and a pr person – ella Mizrahi (babe). We’ve got a sexy new website, a volunteer programme and all that amazing support all over again.

there are returning artists from last year as well as a few fresh faces, and i’m once again simultaneously in awe and a bit jealous of the creative minds Art in the dark attracts. (i’m reassured by Celia that how good i am at filling in health and safety forms more than makes up for the fact i’m so bad at art i can barely make a stickperson’s gender clear.) the best thing about being part of Art in the dark is that it is crucially collaborative. When great minds don’t think alike but find a common ground they are passionate about, very good things happen. (still. if there was a competition for filling out health and safety forms, i would win. Just saying.) 2011’s line-up is already looking pretty flash. here’s a cryptic taster: we’ve got giant light-boxes, sea-mapping, live video gaming, an acoustic western, glowing knitting, smoky rainbows and zooming wings to obscurely name a few.

i’ve realised new Zealand is a decent place to get things off the ground. there is a unique enthusiasm here that is hard to beat. Considering that all we started out with were a few bits of paper, big smiles and a promise that we could make it happen, faith in us was maintained by everyone and we were given a real chance. now we’re part of an event that will be sticking around for a while and eventually, we hope, evolve to be as celebrated as similar happenings worldwide. this country is full of creative talent that deserves to be showcased and celebrated, and Art in the dark really likes doing just that.

DirEcTor STEvEn SoDErBErGH TALKS ABouT THE friGHTEninG TruTHS THAT WEnT inTo HiS LATEST AcTion-THriLLEr ABouT A virAL ouTBrEAK, ContaGion.

There have been other movies about viral outbreaks. Did you feel that the timing was right to make a movie like Contagion?

Well, i guess we’re going to see. the only thing that might indicate that the timing might be good was my reaction to scott [Z. Burns, screenwriter] proposing this, the reaction on the part of the participant [Media] when we went then to float the idea of developing it, and the reaction from Warner Bros. when we presented them the script. everyone felt there was a place for an ultra-realistic film about this subject. nobody hesitated. it all happened very quickly, uncharacteristically quickly, actually, considering what the business is like now for adult dramas. so that made me feel like maybe we were on to something.

How did your involvement with this project change your behaviour?

i don’t know that my behaviour’s changed. i’m just really aware of it now. i was handed some lip balm by one of the makeup people, which i took a kleenex and cleaned off, but who knows if that worked. so, don’t get near my mouth. having gone through it, i’m always going to be conscious of it now. it was fun during the previews to watch the lights come up and 400 people realize that they’re next to a bunch of strangers and that they’ve touched everything. You could tell they weren’t happy.

Were there any conventions of the thriller genre that you were consciously avoiding with this film?

Yeah, the one rule that we had was we can’t go anywhere one of our characters hasn’t been. We can’t cut to a city or to a group of extras that we’ve never been to, that we don’t know personally. that was our rule. And that’s a pretty significant rule to adhere to in a movie in which you’re trying to give a sense of something that’s happening on a large scale. But we felt that all of the elements that we had issues with prior, when we see any kind of disaster film, we’re sort of centred around that idea – that suddenly you cut to paris, where you’ve never been, and something happens. And it’s a bunch of people that you don’t have any emotional engagement with. so, we were trying to have it be epic and also intimate at the same time. that was rule number one.

Can you talk about shooting the movie in terms of the balance that you got between the big spectacle and the most intimate moments?

i was just trying to keep it very, very simple. that meant the entire film’s shot with two lenses, basically. And when i would look at a scene, i would try to figure out how few shots i needed, as opposed to how many. i really wanted it to be, in terms of style, one of the simplest movies that i’ve ever made. often that can require more than just walking in and saying, “i’m just going to cover the hell out of this and i’ll figure it out later.” My approach was, “i really want to keep this simple and want every shot to have a purpose and want every cut to have a purpose. i don’t want any waste.” if you pulled one shot out, it meant something would be diminished. so, that was really it – eye-level, no crane shots, no throwing the camera around.

One of the reasons that you cast Jennifer [Ehle] was because you had seen her work that did not make it into the movie she was in. Can you talk about that?

i’d known who Jennifer was for a long time. And this didn’t take a lot of thought, honestly. i have a somewhat long list of people that i’ve seen over the course of my career that i’ve thought, “Wow, they would be great to work with.” so i’m just glad that worked out.

Did you know she would be able to handle the technical work that her character does?

i knew by her saying yes that she was willing to take a run at some very complex language. one of the most difficult scenes in terms of the language in the movie, is the explanation when she says, “okay, look, we know what it is now. the green part is this and the red part is that.” At one point we were shooting a scene and ian [lipkin, a consultant on set] said, “Well, she should say that it’s morphologically-pathoneumonic.” And i said, “i can’t ask another human being to say that.” there’s just no way. But i was amazed that not only could she say it, she could say it as though she truly understood it, which, as a writer – and i’m sure everybody else up here feels the same way – when you have somebody who can do that, it means that your script can live.

the official playstation 3 7.1 wireless headphones make all the difference when you’re gaming with your games, watching your fancy Blu-rays or ignoring your annoying live-in on-and-off girlfriend. A good sound is equal to good graphics, and Sony has picked up on that.

This device is everything you want in gaming headphones. You hear sound better and clearer, meaning that you pick up on more. If you’re playing a shoot-em-up, you can hear enemy footsteps and snipe that Nazi-zombie dead.

Obviously you’re going to want wireless, because cords are for the ‘90s and freshly born babies. The biggest letdown with these headphones however

you’d think that with any new smartphone game, the one thing the producers are aiming for would be to be the next Angry Birds. It’s a phenomenon that no other smartphone game has truly come close to – next on the list would have to be Doodle Jump, perhaps followed by Robot Unicorn Attack.

What some gaming studios do is let out a free version of their game. Not a lite or practice version, but more of a beta version. Enter the time I found my new favourite smartphone game, Temple Run.

Like the other runaway hit games, the addictiveness lies in the simplicity. Our little hero runs forward, and you swipe left or right to make him turn, swipe

is that they run off a USB stick as opposed to Bluetooth audio. Yes, Bluetooth audio sounds like a robot from the future according to a 1950s movie mixed with the annoyance of a dial-up modem, so the loss of a USB port in order to use these is probably better than that pain in the arse sound. The microphone works well enough, buta needless problem is the volume control tucked all the way behind your ear.

All in all these are a solid pair of next-gen surround sound headphones that deliver exactly what you want out of a third gen console audio system. Bummer is they’re only available in the US at the moment, but if you can’t wait then check out your importer of choice.

up to make him jump and down to make him slide. He dodges obstacles and collects coins. The more coins collected, the more

bonuses/speedups you can get along the way. If you don’t quite make a jump or accidentally side swipe a wall, then the monsters will get you. Because there are monsters chasing you.

It’s a very familiar game in one way – it’s basically that scene from Indiana Jones. You know the one. The one where

he’s running. If your old Sega Megsystem II had an Indiana Jones game it would be this.

Have a search on the app store for Temple Run, and decide for yourself if this could be one of the next big ones to close in on the ever-popular Angry Birds.

aLbum rEvIEWs

no doubt they were the most influential band after the Stones and the Beatles. But for years, CD retailers were starved of their back catalogue and it was difficult to find anything that wasn’t a concert, box set or compilation.

Finally, under the ‘Why Pink Floyd?’ banner, EMI has stepped up with their own concept albums: A digitally remastered release of all originals as Discovery albums, a two CD Experience concept, including recording from the 1974 Wembley dates, and for those with

a Platinum Card, the five-disc all-singing, all-dancing Immersion CD/DVD box sets with more paraphernalia than you can shake an inflatable pig at.

First off the block was Dark Side of the Moon. And now, just in time for Christmas is Wish You Were Here, their second head-on meld of Hypnosis’ incredible concept art with Waters/Mason/Gilmours’ expeditionary compositions. Worth the trek on the Exploration CD is Stephane Grappelli’s violin solo on ‘Shine on You Crazy Diamond’, a honey-sweet alternative to Gilmour’s leads. Plus there’s Water’s live-wire paranoia and a haunting bass on ‘Raving And Drooling’ and a slightly funky version of ‘You’ve Got To Be Crazy’. Still, the entirely pedestrian live version of “Have a Cigar’ seems like a little too much fluff in the pillow, and, to quote, like “riding the gravy train”.

Ever since A Collection of Great Dance Songs, I’ve thought that creating a ‘best of’ compilation of Pink Floyd was a bad idea. Taking songs out of both context and concept is like removing the cannon from the

on the rear cover of Free Rein is an image of a quake-damaged building on tuam Street in christchurch. But rather than electioneering, or forcing an idea upon us, the thoughts it provokes are strangely reverential.

And so it is with the way this Garden City-bred four-piece approach their craft and their heroes – a brand of country music that rests within themes and general construction rather than sticking to uncompromising principles and the expectation that surrounds artists of the same ilk.

Lead songwriter Marlon Williams often evokes his hero, Mr Van Zandt, though at times he’s left crooning like Charlie Fink used to. It’s no criticism, though, as his talent for spinning words together over meat’n’potatoes-style instrumentation is incredibly entrancing, verses spilling graciously over into heady choruses. There’s nothing too fancy here, just simple and blindingly effective chord changes and the occasional vocal harmony. But my oh my, how genius it is.

WRITTEN BY JAMES A. ROBINS

while ever-popular tool tour the world selling out arenas, singer Maynard james keenan has a more subversive musical outlet up his sleeve: puscifer. Conditions Of My Parole is the second album under this pseudonym and it is miles beyond their jokey but cool debut.

It is a masterful mix of electronic soundscapes, multilayered vocals and synthesizers, with some tongue in cheek rockers on the side. ‘Toma’ bristles with bad mojo while the fantastic title track revels in its tale of law breakers who can’t catch a break. Songs like ‘Horizons’, ‘The Weaver’ and the gorgeous ‘Green Valley’ are powerful emotive songs that reveal the heart of a true artist beating under Keenan’s famously rocky exterior.

With every release Puscifer evolves and strengthens its status as a fully formed musical ensemble rather than just some side project.

This is the soundtrack to the world’s strangest nightclub and you’re invited.

WRITTEN BY RICARDO KERR

tom waits is a well-respected but crusty oddball, but to many he is practically invisible.

In 2011, 38 years into his career as both a musician and actor, he has released Bad As Me, his 17th album. What you find inside is wonky, gutbucket blues frequently howled at top volume. ‘Chicago’ shuffles and jives like vintage r’n’b caked in grime.

The fevered ramblings of ‘Hell Broke Luce’ terrify as Waits rails against horrors of combat.

But it’s not all hellfire and carnival tricks. The slower, sweeter songs work their way under your skin and into your heart. ‘New Years Eve’ is a whiskey-breathed lament and ‘Talking At The Same Time’ plays a surf guitar waltz over a sandpaper falsetto.

Tom Waits is a larger than life character who is part pied piper and part devil’s advocate. His albums are brimming with brilliant, demented imagery and we would not have it any other way.

1812 overture; you need the whole package to truly get it. But if you’re one of the three people in the universe who haven’t heard Floyd, then this is the best starter. A Foot in the Door is a fair career retrospective for one of rock’s most innovative and progressive outfits. That said, the selection predictably downplays the psychedelic days in favour of these best moments from Dark Side, Wish and The Wall. There are obvious omissions: ‘Arnold Layne’ and ‘Careful with that Axe Eugene’ to boot. But time constraints and a need to stay in the middle of the road probably played a role here. Longtime collaborator Storm Thorgerson adds his new, kind of groovy cover, although in these days of Photoshop, his approach does seems a little less dazzling. Naturally, the sound on all these recordings surpasses anything possible at Abbey Road or elsewhere.

about half-way through Drive, Bernie rose, the mid-level la mobster character played by albert Brooks, is talking about his past as a producer of action movies in the ‘80s. “Some people described them as…‘European’…” he says. Both times I’ve seen Drive, this line elicited a mild murmur of recognition from the audience,

it should have been a match made in heaven. Teaming up the stars of two of the more avant-garde and risqué romantic movies for the past few years – Love and Other Drugs and Across the Universe – with a Danish director who had already made an acclaimed, period-set literary adaptation. Unfortunately the end result is a half-baked, virtually humourless, pseudo-romantic muddle that doesn’t do the much-loved book justice.

A cross between When Harry Met Sally (can they ever really just be friends?) and 500 Days of Summer (a distillation of a relationship’s falls and rises), One Day lacks the former’s wit and the latter’s invention. Part of the problem is that there’s little

with the deaths this year of Bin laden and gaddafi, The Debt’s examination of how a narrative forms around the murky truths of assassination and espionage is timely. When that narrative is part of the developmental process of a nation, as the Mossad’s plan to hunt down Nazi war criminals was for Israel, it can take on a life of its own, whether true or not.

Set in both the 1960s and 1990s, the film tells the story of an Israeli operation to bring a war criminal to justice and the effect liberties with the truth threaten to have 30 years later. Helen Mirren’s character has managed to live with this until pushed to confront it and her subsequent investigations and arguments with a former

chemistry between the leads, and the story’s brief running time and episodic nature doesn’t help that. Sturgess can’t transcend the fact that Dexter is basically an upper-class prat, while Hathaway just struggles with the accent and a terribly underwritten character.

Scherfig tries to enliven proceedings with clever Teachers-esque titles and a soundtrack that includes everyone from Tracy Chapman to Tears for Fears and Del Amitri to Fat Boy Slim, but you can’t help feeling this dreary tale could have done with a bit of fancy editing or narrative reconstruction.

colleague (Tom Wilkinson) are intercut with the mission itself. With this star power it comes as a surprise that The Debt’s strongest moments stem from scenes with younger versions of these characters; Jessica Chastain (Tree Of Life) proving a compelling screen presence and our own Martin Csokas a magnificent creep.

But for all this acting power on display,The Debt comes off as less than the sum of its parts. Perhaps that’s because the film is so performance-focused that the broader ramifications of its characters’ actions aren’t immediately obvious, but it doesn’t manage to sustain the sort of tension nor provide a satisfactory resolution.

as he is essentially describing the movie he is in.

On paper, Drive sounds pretty generic and at one point was destined to be a stock-standard action movie with Hugh Jackman in the lead role. Thankfully, Ryan Gosling and crazy Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn (Bronson, Valhalla Rising) came on board and

created a modern masterpiece of stylistic austerity and unfettered cool.

A neon and synth-laden ‘80s fever dream, Drive manages to hold back where similar films go over the top. The opening car chase is excruciatingly slow, creating a sustained air of uneasy tension that finds release in brief flashes of extreme violence.

Gosling commands the screen with the effortless cool of Newman or McQueen – he has very few lines, but his actions speak volumes. Refn infuses even the most minor characters with complex identities, with Brooks and Ron Pearlman both

delivering scorching supporting performances. Only Carey Mulligan (An Education) as the love interest, seems a little bit out of place.

A firecracker up the backside of the bloated modern action movie, Drive shows just how emotive and poetic the genre can be.

murderers and rapists. They are corrupted by their status as celebrities, and end up compromising the safety of the world they carelessly take advantage of and end up endangering.

When it comes to creating badass characters, Garth has to be one of the best in the business. The multi-layered storytelling is as thought out and as serial as one of the writer’s previous (and most popular) series, Preacher. Everything is foreshadowed so meticulously that it truly becomes a struggle to put the book down.

This month the ninth trade paperback will hit comic stands. A whopping twelve issues will be combined into this collection, and by now there have to be answers set up to the multitude of questions readers have been asking for over a year. In an interview last year, Garth said that The Boys would “out-Preacher Preacher”, and that the series would wind up around issue 70. That point is getting closer, and it’s been a hell of a ride so far.

If you want a good metaphor for the elite’s psyche, read this comic. If you don’t like superheroes, read this comic. If you want to get into comics, read this comic. Unless the idea of blood, violence, sex and egomania disturbs you, there is no good reason for not reading this comic.

A lot of comic readers don’t like reading mainstream books – the likes of The Avengers, X-Men, Justice League, etc. These people are more into their indie publications, whether you’re looking at the festival-like cultures and themes that come out of Fantagraphics Books or creator-owned series. The Boys can appeal to these people in more ways than one.

Garth has a vocal disdain for superheroes. The Boys is his love note (or more of a Dear John) to the superhero comics universe. Set in a world where superheroes exist as marketing dreams as well as personified government defence contracts, Garth looks at what that kind of power can do to the ego of any given person who considers them self to be invincible.

Enter a covert CIA-squad informally known as The Boys to monitor that superhero community. The group that keeps tabs on superheroes and keep them in line. If a “hero” is acting out, then The Boys take them down, and take them down hard.

The storyline can be filthy. Consider the likes of a Bret Easton Ellis book, where those with money and power eventually search for anything sadistic and abnormal to still feel some kind of excitement out of life. These “superheroes” rely on their image in front of the public, but behind the scenes they are sexual deviants,
