Those exceptions do not make a rule!

Spam. Spam spam spam.

"Comfortable", apparently?

You don't get to be as successful as Luxon has by, you know, listening to those below you on the business ladder.

Also, a number of those discs are from artists I buy from, on the simple principle of supporting artists I like. I still spotify them, though. If I'm paying twice, then I'm paying twice for artists I appreciate.

Of course, am I actually going to listen to these..? Of course not. There's only about a dozen albums here that are unavailable on ant streaming ser ice, I try to keep an eye on where those unicorns are.

The front fell off?

Hey, shush down there in the Otago nether-regions.

And also to, honestly, my suprise, it's all done. Seems I had less bits of musical plastic disks than I suspected.

That social clique is certainly something that National has developed deeply over many decades. But, that involvement requires going to events and parties full of Young Nats.

Oh, yes. As i head deeper into my 50s, I still celebrate how far our food culture has progressed since my childhood in the 70s. When "fried chicken in a basket" was high cuisine and anything involving rice had to be drenched in soy sauce.

Well, that's the upcoming crash, isn't it? When these firms realise their crappy AI products will need humans to fix them, the same humans they laid off earlier.

Um... it's us. We're that country.

Country-style? Which country are they talking about?

It really did seem that unless I wanted to be an MP or join some executive committee I had no value to the party, and I got really tired of, frankly, kids not taking me seriously. But, in my 20s, I was probably one of those kids too. Progressive politics needs that youthful enthusiasm, I guess.

Yeah. I had that realisation in 2014, when I saw that the only value the Green party saw in me was door-knocking and delivering leaflets. I was in my 40s, by then, a life-time of political involvement. I'd been a Green since they were Values!

And all these parties "ruling out" coalescing with other parties, like we don't all know that after the votes are counted every single one of them will do anything to get to that magical 61-seat majority.

"New Zealand" is not a genre!

Ok, but why the gardening implements? Are you planning on playing drums for Spinal Tap?

Sorting by genre would involving breaking up artist collections. I've barely started the process, but even so, how can these artists be assigned "genre." Alcest: shoegaze albums alongside extreme metal. Beastie Boys: hip-hop or rock? They did both. The Cure: no, I'm not removing their remix albums.
