My Musical Commentary

I just feel like saying, and simply for the fact that it happens to be playing on C4 TV at the moment, that my favourite song at this particular point in time is Tiki Taane's "Tanagroa - God of the Sea". I first saw this song on TV months ago. I noted down Tiki Taane's name (as although I like Salmonella Dub & Rhombus, I had not put in the research to learn band member's names). Unfortunately, "Tangaroa" wasn't played when I was watching for many months. Instead "Always on my mind" became Tiki's hit. I guess it's just me, but I'm not so in to soppy songs, so it didn't appeal to me. I was a little saddened that it's popularity over-shadowed "Tangaroa".

Thankfully, with the Vodafone Music Awards coming up, "Tangaroa" is being played. Hearing it the other day reminded me how much I had liked it the first time I heard it. So I purchased it from amplifier.co.nz.

Now I can't wait to play it in my car (with it's twin 12in subs). I don't drive often - I live within walking distance of work... if you consider 45mins walking distance.

So, anyway, where was I? Oh, right... this is just a shout-out to an awesome Kiwi song. I hope it's the beginnings of more songs with a good chunk of Te Reo getting out there.
