Friday Night Local: Shihad - Pacifier
Hey, and welcome to another May, another NZ Music Month. You know the drill. There's gonna be a viidjio.
And look, it's not a very imaginative pick this week. Another Shihad video, another one from The General Electric and another single. But dammit, it's a great one from one of our best bands who are getting a lot of airplay at the Monkeyhouse this week. I want to play this live one day.
Here's Shihad's Pacifier, recorded in 1999 and apparently written for Jon Toogood's friend Aaron Tokona of Weta/Cairo Knife Fight. A bit of a family favourite, and even quite playable on a ukulele:
It's also a cool video, even if this one really needs to be in high definition. Yes, it's a Clockwork Orange pastiche, a bit like the Blur one, or the Rob Zombie one, but different because it's ours.
That's all I have, really. See you next Friday with another video!

Laugh at it, Fuzzballs
Star Warps Day - May the Froth, comes but once a year. But, as Ken Benobi says, "We'll always have the Warps". Here's to Star warps and its outlandish spaceships, supersonic alien worlds and uninhabitable creatures. They're out of this world!
Play it again, Chewy...
