Matthew and Sally’s daughter is all grown up and getting into scraps. And you can watch, provided you’ve got anywhere between a spare $6,000 to $10,000 just casually lying around the house (it’s fine, it’s for charity) . Ridgelette Jaime will be stepping into the ring for a night of charity boxing at SkyCity with Rosanna Arkle from the attempted cash cow television show The GC. We’re expecting the trash talk to be just as entertaining as the actual fisticuffs. After reports of roughly 50 Justin Bieber fans getting injured at one of his shows during a fan-flourished frenzy, the Biebs knocked himself out backstage on a European tour which resulted in the star suffering from a concussion. Experts say it’s the most extreme case of Bieber-fever they’ve seen yet.

Amy Winehouse’s family are selling their late daughter’s home. After deeming it “inappropriate for [them] to live there”, the house of Wine is on the market for £2.7million. We were half kidding weeks ago when talking about the future of hologram shows following the infamous TuPointOhPac “appearance” at Coachella this year. Now though there are reports of an upcoming Marilyn Monroe performance/ tribute with a digital star being the main attraction. The Hollywood Reporter originally broke the story about the show Virtual Marilyn Live: A Musical Celebration of the Birth of the Pop Icon. This piece of hologram information follows the news that r’n’b superstar Usher will be dancing with hologram fans at an upcoming concert next week which will be streamed live on Youtube. Any fans of residential wavelengths 570–590 nm and 525–505 THz frequencies will be happy with an ursinine announcement coming later this week.

Shit Worth Knowing
PLAYING Johnny Be Rotten Or FAVourites Johnny Be Good? MICHAEL Griffiths
Favourite drink? Flat white. Eighthirty is my local and they rock. Favourite restaurant/café? I’m loving the goulash at Reslau, Elliott Stables. Favourite takeaway? Real Italian pizza – not the horrible franchise variety. Favourite colour? True blue (baby I love you). Favourite classic film? Rosemary’s Baby. Favourite childhood memory? Staying up late to watch Thriller on TV and being scared shitless. Favourite party food? Plain salted potato chips. Favourite vice? Plain salted potato chips. Favourite song? I’m going with a Madonna theme, so it has to be ‘Vogue’. Pop genius. Favourite meal? Anything shared. Favourite cause? I always buy free range eggs. Is that a cause? Favourite label to put on your relationship? It’s complicated. Favourite ‘90s TV show? Seinfeld. Favourite word? Pats (that’s for all the Jersey Boys). Favourite album? Still on Madge and it’s a toughie, but I’ll go with Ray of Light.
It’s 6.30am on a very cold Wednesday morning. I don’t usually know what 6.30am looks like. This is not ideal functioning time of day. But I am willing to make an exception when I am up early to talk to John Lydon. Groove Guide was fortunate enough to talk to the punk icon more commonly known as Johnny Rotten from The Sex Pistols as we anticipate the release of his new album from Public Image Limited. I want to tell you that PiL’s new effort This Is PiL is an album that will change your life but I am not sure it will. It’s definitely raw and very honest, there is plenty of classic, warbling John Lydon. If you fancy pogo-ing round the lounge, stopping and pounding your fist in agreement the next, a rage of social consciousness within you I suggest you wrap your ears around it. If you are reading this and are unsure what all the fuss is about then go get some old PiL (Metal Box is a good place to start), after you have listened to that, listen to this new work and you’ll get it, I am sure. John Lydon and his merry band of music makers have thoughtfully bashed out this album with the breathing space not afforded in record company produced work. It might not be your cup of tea but his discography demands that you give it a go. Even if it is just so you can say you know what the great John Lydon is up to nowadays. The fact is, John Lydon is a man who is more notorious because of who he is rather than because of the music he makes. He’s known for his punk anthems, punk antics, punk aesthetics and for accidentally
introducing a new and somewhat bastardised definition of the word “anarchy” to the English language. There’s something disastrously ironic (or predictably reactant) in that; a word originally intended for people to come together in the absence of a leader used as ammunition to segregate those that preach the idea. But who knew that the dirt-velvet voiced father of punk could be such a charmer? Read Jan Maree’s interview with John Lydon on page 24.

gig OF THE WEEK 8pm
8pm, $65, dashtickets.co.nz
Rival State, The Rabble and Snakes Of Iron all head to The Kings Arms this Thursday for a night of threeheaded mischief. The trio of bloodthirsty bands look, sound and act the part of everything you want from underground metal bands. It’s heavy rock at its midweek finest, and in the bands’ own words it’ll be MEAN AS.
Remember that time Ghostface Killah was on 30 Rock? He was rapping about awful tasting champagne that Alec Baldwin and LL Cool J made together. Ghostface is way cooler than LL Cool J, and he doesn’t need his name to say that ladies love him. But LL Cool J could probably take him in a fight.

1885 Britomart 9pm, $10-20, eventfinder.co.nz

That poster floating around of Zowie for Love Demolition makes her look like a puppet from Thunderbirds. Is that on purpose? She’s definitely got the gimmicky side of things down – she’s quirky, she’s full of energy and she dresses like a sexy spy android from an anime film. She’s the whole package.
It’s probably nearing the time that Minuit put out a new album. But for now they’re still gigging to audiences around the country, constantly impressing crowds with their fine-tuned mix of breaks, drum ‘n’ bass and all things electronica. And that Ruth Carr is one hell of a showman. Or is it show woman?

ALBUM REVIEW
Saturday 09
Gossip
Rackets & Beach Pigs
ALBUME OF TH WEEK
A Joyful Noise
The Kings Arms 8pm, $20, undertheradar.co.nz
Rackets and Beach Pigs are quickly becoming two favourites in the noise-pop scene. Not that it was exactly inundated with attention before. But they’re young, dumb rockers who just don’t give a shit. Their shows are quick, fun and packed full of energy. We’re hoping they’ll stick around for longer than their attention spans can handle.
24 Hour Party People San Fran Bath House 9pm, $10, Door Sales Only
Britpop meets all things American indie in one night of favourites at San Fran Bath House. It’ll probably have all of the exact same bands you had on your playlist between two and four years ago, and you’ll be all, “Oh man, this is old.” Except you’ll be dancing and trying to get your pash on, just like you were between two and four years ago.

This Saturday throughout the day Southern Cross is helping out the kids. Cancer is lame, and it gets even lamer when you realise that on average three children are diagnosed with every week. So head along to Southern Cross to help fundraise the roof for this well worthy cause.
This week’s Sick Disco has favourites MayaVanya, Tommy Flowers, Aaron Pony, MTron and Adventuretime DJs to keep your Saturday chugging along easier than taking that guy who had a crush on you in high school for all he’s worth in one night of auspicious gold digging.
Bow Messiah
Audiotistic
Zebedees
C3 Christian City Church 8pm, $5, Door Sales Only
This all-ages show sees the welcome return of Bow Messiah after a much needed six month break. The early show features support from Word Of God, Organectomy and Dawning on the night they’re dubbing White Picket Impalement.
8pm, $10-15
Organisers of this all-ages rave are telling people to get weird. We have no idea what that means, but the name is kind of weird and Aubrey Plaza is kind of weird so weird is a good thing. So, yeah, get weird.
SUNDAY 10 Lady Gaga Vector Arena 7pm, $130- 180, ticketmaster.co.nz
The Born This Way Ball is finally here. We’re lucky enough that we don’t have extremist groups calling the mother of all monsters the bride of the devil, or a vulgar human being who is corrupting our nation’s youth with her sinful outfits and evil feminist thinking, so she hasn’t had to cancel her show.
Gossip’s much-anticipated fifth album A Joyful Noise is glorious candy for the ears. It’s the kind of album you hear cranking from the Friday night, girls-only dance party down the hall that you pretend to scoff at, but actually have on repeat on your iPod. It’s a triple threat combination of ‘80s synth, heavy beats, and of course Beth Ditto’s massive pipes. A punk-girl at heart, Ditto and her bandmates (Nathan Howdeshell on bass, guitar and keys, and drummer Hannah Blilie) have put together a solid line-up of Euro club tracks. While some might call it selling out, it’s also just a reflection of the changing tastes of a band maturing in sound and in age. Or maybe it’s a sign that this Washington group is comfortable being a pop success in an industry known more, in recent decades, for the North American manufactured cookie-cutter mold and less for original talent. While yet to really take off in their homeland, this hasn’t slowed Gossip down any. Their popularity in Europe is off the charts and A Joyful Noise is just going to fuel the fire. The album starts with one of the heavier tracks ‘Melody
Emergency’, with a simple but effective bassline that hooks into a sexy showcase of Ditto’s vocals. Second track ‘Perfect World’ gets the dance party going, and by track three (a cunning little number about a rich, lazy-ass roommate who gets her hair done instead of paying rent) I can promise that there won’t be anyone left sitting on the couch. Songs like ‘Move In The Right Direction’ remind me a little of some of my mum’s early ‘80s TV workout shows, but replace the high-cut neon bodysuits with black punk costumes and lots of spanks. ‘Casualties Of War’ showcases Ditto’s huge vocal range, and highlights a softness that might otherwise be lost on those who are more familiar with the punk-dyke imagery typically associated with the band. In all, the album has a pretty good set of legs that should carry it on the charts through the end of 2012. WRITTEN BY JENN LAIDLAW

MAREEA PATERSON 2012 Nikon Auckland Photo Day winner
This week is the last week that the Obstinate Object installations will be floating around the capital. If you haven’t been paying attention to the sculptures spilling out of the City Gallery, make sure that you head along to see just how moving stationary art can be before it all winds up this Sunday.
Fancy Fools Flight Objectspace
Martinborough-based glass artists Jim Dennison and Leanne Williams are the Crystal Chain Gang. Together they make glass art. That’s the kind of skill everyone wants yet nobody really has. Fancy Fools Flight sees reused glass re-molded into new, punked up, fancy and fantastical forms.
Suicide Pavilions Blue Oyster
A collaborative exhibition of new work between Auckland-based artists Simon Esling and Clara Chon, Suicide Pavilions is not for the faint of heart. Mixing works on paper, photography and objects, the exhibition explores in a delicate but powerful way the linear and tangential thoughts of suicide.
Favourite drink? Swapped single malt for coke zero. Hard as. Favourite restaurant/café? Bocateria Versalles in Valencia for their Bocadillo de tortilla de patatas!
Rock the Ballet

Favourite classic film? The Sound of Music. The nuns use to let us watch if we were good.
Favourite body part on someone else? Neck.
Favourite party food? Asparagus rolls.
Favourite venue? The White Rabbit, San Antonio, Texas. First bullet hole riddled bar I ever played in.
Favourite meal? Linda McCartney’s Vegan Country Pies... Mmmmmmm.
Romeo & Juliet
Riverdance
Unitec Theatre
CBS Canterbury Arena
An all-female Unitec cast comes together in this end-of-semester production of perhaps what is Shakespeare’s most famous tale. Shakespeare is kind of a go-to when you’re doing a play and trying to impress audiences, but somehow it manages to do just that every time.
The dancing phenomenon continues trekking the country as Riverdance arrives in Southland to stomp the yard in the garden city. Is it still stomping the yard when people are dressed up like disco wizards who are trying to enchant a spell while their legs are moving faster than The Flash?
Favourite label to put on your relationship? Shacked up. Favourite ‘90s TV show? Didn’t watch a lot of TV in the ‘90s as I was too busy being a goth, but I have lasting impressions of Beverly Hills 90210...Saved By The Bell, and definitely Ab Fab!
Key
You may think you don’t know what The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Organ Concerto or Scheherazade are until you realise that you’ve heard all of these iconic pieces before on more than one occasion and thought to yourself, “If I knew what that was I’d YouTube the shit out of that.”
Favourite type of groupie? The sane ones. Favourite body part on you? The ones that still work.
Favourite cause? SAFE. I love cats. I support IHC. If you’re one of those people who think ballet is for old ladies, you’re a closed-minded dickwad. So some to a compromise and see rock’n’roll intertwined with ballet, then you won’t have to endure the glares of your like-minded dickwad compatriots.
Favourite album? The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses.
Favourite takeaway? Mercury Plaza, it’s embarrassing how often I’m there.
Favourite vice? What’s left after drugs, smoking, coffee and alcohol? Soy Chai, dagnabbit. What a chump.
FRIDAY 08
Favourite word? Dagnabbit.
Favourite lyric? “Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don’t confuse them with mountains” – Shakira. Brilliant. Favourite candy bar? Twizzlers. Favourite current TV show? Graham Norton, Miranda, Work of Art... that new visual art version of Project Runway. Oh, and Big Bang Theory. Junior Masterchef... shit I’m a real sucker for TV. Making up for the ‘90s.

Titus Unitec Theatre
While the Unitec girls are wondering what light through yonder window breaks, the male Unitec students are doing something different in the 2012 Shakespeare season.

Equal parts Greek Myth, Sci-Fi and The Sims, Assisted Living explores a world where people in their early 20s are kept separate from the rest of humanity and how this age group would interact without the grannies, the grampas, the toddlers and the LAME PARENTS. It’s more than just a bunch of rooting.

Belly dancing is one of those things that you want to laugh at but you’re far too taken by what is basically a step-by-step guide to Shakira’s dance moves. Ranya Renee is one of New York City’s most sought-after belly dance performers and teachers, and she’s here to help raise money for Christchurch.
Playwright Roger Hall brings his clash of culture and comedy to SkyCity with A Shortcut To Happiness. Retiree Ned is adjusting to life realising he’s now one of those old men who are set in their ways, until an attractive Russian immigrant bursts into his life. Old people trying to be young people? Always good.

A couple of weeks ago I was telling my ladyfriend how there’s an opera song that loosely translates to how awful women are and they can’t be trusted (not the best conversation to have with your girl). I tried to show her the song but I had no idea what it is. Turns out it’s ‘La Donna È Mobile’ from Rigoletto. I don’t know if she cares, but just the fact that I know makes me happy.
Plug whatever it is that’s coming up for you. EYESORE – my solo exhibition opens on Friday June 8th at Metal Artspace, 8 Upper Queen St at 6pm. The works in production are like stickers; they are lurid, heavy, candid, archetypal, graphic illustrations after the style of ‘80s skate designs and psychedelic rock posters. These works are a tribute to the imagery of alternative culture, the visual language of the underdogs and outsiders, gateway imagery, the rad shit. The Raw Nerves and DJ The Fang are playing at the opening and the show is open daily from 12-5pm from June 9th to 16th.

Black Butler is an Anime about Ciel Phantomhive , a 12 yr. old boss dog and head of a powerful English family. When he was a child his parents were murdered. Soon after he made a deal with this demon butler guy called Sebastian Michaelis, that if Sebastian helped him find the people who kills his mum and dad then he could kill Ciel and have his soul!!! Dum dum dduuuuumm. So the series follows these two cruising around a victorian era England solving murder mysteries and strange happenings. Sebastian the demon butler has to do everything the kid asks of him, as part of his demon deal. Theres one episode that kinda incorporates the story of Jack the Ripper. It’s cool for an anime to not be about babes in space. This is super different, lots of nice attention to detail when it comes to the Victorian styled stuff. Its not 100% serious either. I have to wait for the second season to find out wtf happened to his parents but yeah, looking forward to it. If you want this on DVD sell your soul to satan and send me your name + address to iwantadvdumduh@gmail.com

FILM REVIEW
THURSDAY 07
LE HAVRE
Prometheus General Release
The hype for this flick has been huge. A prequel of sorts to the Alien franchise, Prometheus is director Ridley Scott’s welcome return to high-concept scifi, and stars some of the brightest lights in the biz at the moment including Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace.
The Queens Palaces Prime, 7:30pm
You kind of have to be royalty to call your place a palace. If you don’t care about the goings-on of the monarchy, that’s understandable. But seeing inside these over-the-top constructions that you’ll never be allowed to live in and learning how they got built will be interesting to say the least.
FRIDAY 08 28 Days Later FOUR, 8:30pm
When you think of zombie films, you always think you’d be great in the zombie apocalypse. That, and the fact that zombies aren’t really plausible. So when 28 Days Later replaces “zombies” with “rage infected people”, it all sort of makes a bit more sense. Best notzombie zombie movie ever.
Further info directed by AKI KAURISMÄKI Starring ANDRÉ WILMS, BLONDIN MIGUEL AND JEAN-PIERRE DARROUSSIN
Aki Kaurismäki is one of Finland’s finest writer/directors – a master of the absurd with films like Leningrad Cowboys Go America (1989); Hamlet Goes Business (1987) and Drifting Clouds (1996). The location may have moved from Helsinki to the French port of Le Havre, but Kaurismäki has lost none of his surreal comic zest in translation. An aging shoe-shiner, Marcel Marx (a superb André Wilms), befriends Idrissa (Blondin Miguel), a young refugee fresh off the boat from Africa and aids him in evading the authorities. A simple plot, yes, but realised in Kaurismäki’s cinematic worldview; in which telephones have rotary dials, cameras sport bulbs and detectives wear hats and long coats. The colours are sumptuously saturated and every frame betrays a careful construction reminiscent of
the films of Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Delicatessen and Amélie). Le Havre has never looked so appealing as through cinematographer Timo Salminen’s lens. Part character comedy, part cat-and-mouse chase, Le Havre effortlessly blends pitchblack Finnish humour with French joie de vivre and absurdist scenes with stark reality. The film is never less than an absorbing, enjoyable, and offbeat drama that offers an ideal introduction to the work of Kaurismäki for the uninitiated and a superb addition for lovers of the Finnish master’s ouvre. It can be slow at times but as an antidote to Hollywood explosions and two-dimensional characterisations, you’d be hard pressed to find a more satisfying and thoroughly entertaining way to entertain your brain.

Parks And Recreation
Bridesmaids Sky Movies, Sky Channel 20
Kristen Wiig’s first major role in a comedy film was a good one. Many people thought they were going into another rom-com where chicks don’t have a man but eventually get one. While that’s always going to be the basis of a romantic comedy, Bridesmaids is more a comedy with a touch of romance. And it’s fucking funny.

Working Week Dragging You Down? 44 Ponsonby Rd, Auckland
Warm your soul and drink your way out of the mid-week blues with us at Barrio. Enjoy some old fashioned good times, Jameson Whiskeys, tapas, knucklebones and board games by the cozy Barrio fireside, all while listening to amazing live music from The Fresno Funk Masters, featuring Sven Pettersen from The Checks, Tim Bern from T.I.N.N.Y. and special guests every other Wednesday from 7.30pm.
372-376 Broadway, Newmarket, Auckland
There’s something to do every night of the week at The Claddagh in Newmarket. Have a game of Pool on a Monday, try your arm in the darts competition on Tuesday, enter a team in the Wednesday night Pub Quiz, and have a few Whiskeys and have a sing on Karaoke Thursdays. Friday and Saturday is live music night and cure that Sunday hangover with a Roast Meal.
It ’s a hard life, isn’t it? Whether you’re working the 9-5 grind, inputting data, selling insurance or blowing up planets and killing little teddy bears, work can be such a drag. Maybe it’s time to take a wee break at some of these more accommodating outlets.
33 Drake St, Freemans Bay, Auckland
Remember when that now aging, decrepit piece of land otherwise known as Victoria Park used to be cool? While it’s still a bit of an eyesore there’s one shining light that’s still got the magic going on top of the old brick bombshell. La Zeppa’s courtyard is exactly what you want out of any venue at any time of year without compromising the more intimate inside bar, restaurant and dance area.
352 K Rd, Auckland
Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name. Sure, you might have to fight your way past a couple of people asking for change, spare cigarettes and the occasional proposition from a complete stranger, but it’s worth it to get to one of the friendlier places on Auckland’s home of loveable street trash. All the kids reckon it’s totally relevant. Or postironic. YOLO.

The Makings of Makings
Filmmaker Ridley Scott talks about the ideas behind his welcome return to the realm of science fiction in Prometheus. When an acknowledged master (think Alien and Blade Runner) of science fiction returns to the genre after a long absence, it’s only to be expected that anticipation for his new film, Prometheus, will be sky high. It is, after all, thirty years since Sir Ridley Scott delivered Blade Runner, and that came some three years after Alien – both films rightly considered to be masterpieces of contemporary cinema. They changed the way other filmmakers approached the sci-fi form, and spawned a host of mostly inferior imitators. Over the years, both have gathered a host of accolades and millions of fans; we’re talking true classics here. Now, the Prometheus director is happy to be back in space. You might say that he feels right at home there. Prometheus marks Scott’s 22nd film as a director. It was, he says, one of the most enjoyable to make. “I loved it,” he smiles. “I loved going back to science fiction, and I really loved being in the studio too. I hadn’t done a studio film for a while because Robin Hood was almost entirely shot on location, and I really loved being in the studio for Prometheus. It all went very well indeed and I’m very happy with the result.” There has been much speculation that Prometheus is a prequel to Alien, or that in some way the two stories will link up. They do, of course, share the same DNA. “Look, what I will say is that these things connect with each other,” he cryptically hints. But we don’t get a lot more than that. What we do know is that Prometheus is set some thirty years before Alien, and that archaeologists have uncovered some clues that may lead to the origins of mankind. The Prometheus (named after the Greek God, the “champion of mankind” who gave fire to mortals) is the name of the spaceship. But what will they find when they get there? Scott isn’t going into details here, but he admits that there are some very big ideas at play in Prometheus.
“If you think about that for us to be sitting here doing what we’re doing now, having a chat, as a mathematical equation that has feasibility, it’s impossible,” he says. “For us to be sitting here now had to have so many elements occur in the right way over the millennia, three billion years or so, and for that to happen, did some entity have been involved? So the question becomes ‘God or not God?’ Or are we simply a Petri dish?” It’s existential thinking to say the least, or religious thinking to say the obvious. “I’m agnostic, so I guess I’m in a halfway house,” he says. “When you go into this stuff, it’s too big to simply say ‘I believe that we are here by accident’. The planet has been around for three billion years or so and then suddenly, in relatively short time, say 75,000 years, evolution happens. Suddenly, you have cavemen, dinosaurs and evolution and now we are sending unmanned spacecraft beyond Mars. It certainly poses a lot of questions.” But it’s not all about audience connection with the age-old adage of why we’re here. For Ridley Scott fans, Prometheus marks a welcome return to sci-fi. So what can we expect from the high-concept film? “I hope it will be scary and interesting. Is it interesting? Yes, I think so. And is it going to be scary? Yes, I think it is. Is it occasionally outrageous? Definitely.” Interesting, scary and outrageous – that’s more than enough to book that trip out into the unknown with a filmmaker like Sir Ridley Scott.

sex, guns and rock ‘n’ roll How it is with John Lydon AKA johnny rotten Written by Jan Maree Continued from page 6
Former Sex Pistol, responsible for the birth of punk, on from that to form Public Image Limited (PiL) and then the collaboration Leftfield; John Lydon has banged out some tv and film work and he is also fond of drawing. Several people seriously lost their shit when I said I was interviewing him, which made me very anxious. However I had one resounding reality check. This ‘norf’ London punk lives in Los Angeles??? What the? “Hello?” I can hear that wry, crooked smile down the phone. Bright and breezy, his manner is far from what I expected. “Never had a bad gig in New Zealand you know. But your customs officials have put me through the wringer over the years.” I offer an apology, but he won’t hear it, and proffers one of my all time favourite sayings; “It is what it is. I’m a forthright, upright citizen of the world. Doesn’t mean to say that I wasn’t [years ago] first off the plane and the officials are asking me ‘which one is Rotten?’... well, I was busy pointing at everyone else!”
tripping, the four of us are not glory hounds. We are very much a live band in a live environment. The dark soul moment for me was the first day we got together [at Steve Winwood’s barn-cum-studio space in the Cotswolds]. We had come straight off tour, no time to rehearse, we all wanted to have time to write new songs but really we just had to get in that studio and work. Six weeks later...” I have to admit I was a little thrown by how organic the whole look and sound of the album is. A mix of sounds and styles, on first listen it is pure protest songs, I was transported to the sounds of my youth: Cuba Street on a Saturday night back in the late eighties. The album artwork done by John himself and it is a self-financed album, made in the cheapest studio available. The beautiful thing is that John’s not under any illusion about that. He happily owns it. “We were working closely live and we really get on well. There’s no bitter tensions, we play in the dark sometimes.”
I can’t resist asking him how he feels about AutoTune. He has spent the last little while waiting for PiL to be released from legal ties with record “We only have one opportunity to get “AutoTune is disgraceful. It’s killing voices and emotions. There’s all these pop fakes whose company folk. “Oh yeah for me it has been a dialogue is limited by this machine. There it right, and I’m doing it. Freedom twenty year forced retirement. But I have the will always be shiesters [in this industry]. You patience of a saint. And I have been thinking. of thought, freedom of lifestyle. just have to be the best in life that you can and And now I am doing what they all said was hopefully by example, bring change. No such impossible. To tour, to record an album and I see myself as the voice of the thing as a voice in tune. This is a human skill. all without a contract is harrowing. Which is disenfranchised, of the bullied. Any What is perfect? Lu, Bruce, Scott and me. We why so many musicians end up drug addicts. are a live band. There is no perfect. It’s sheer bloody mindedness that wins out, system is my enemy.” We experiement.” I don’t view my career by a time scale, many artists do, and they can’t handle the pressure So then what advice can he give to the new put on them. I will not be bullied, not in time, not in space. We only have wave of musicians out there? “Oh, that’s easy. You gotta get out of town one opportunity to get it right, and I’m doing it. Freedom of thought, fast. See how the world is to understand what it is you are in. This life.” freedom of lifestyle. I see myself as the voice of the disenfranchised, of Then adds, “Wow, that’s a great song lyric right there. Wow.” the bullied. Any system is my enemy.” So I ask him to tell me about the song ‘One Drop’ (first release off the new album). He is on record as “fearful” for England in the wake of the impending summer Olympic Games. “Well, there is an awful lot on, but I am in PiL Zone now, I am not gonna drop anchor and dwell, this is not Sex Pistols [this is the one and only time he mentions his former punk supergroup]. I am in a good space these days, not a nihilist. Heaven is on this earth.” And that statement is the dominating theme of our conversation. For the past two and a half years John Lydon has been “in PiL Zone” and it appears to be treating him well. PiL Zone started with Lydon’s face, in the campaign for Country Life butter, according to him, very much to the chagrin of New Zealand’s own butter marketing in the UK. “I was selling British butter to British people,” although he admits; “When they first asked me to do the butter ads, it seemed mental to me. But doing it made me realise that not all corporate thinking is heartless, negative and narrow minded.” The campaign paid PiL’s way to the live tour and ultimately to This-Is PiL, the new album. This album is indie rock in the truest sense. But it could not have happened any other way for Lydon. “People presume that record companies are full of free thinkers who are there to free up [the musicians’] minds... [record companies are] all controlled by accounting departments. And the creative heads change so often you never get to form a decent relationship with them.” A perfect opportunity to ask if there was ever a time in the making of this new work that he had a dark soul moment, after all, this album was made with no producer, with no record company. “PiL has become a joyous collective. It’s not just the band. It’s management, press, the roadies, the sound man. Everyone has a voice. And there is no ego-
Lydon is a delight to talk with, though we constantly wandered off track. I could hear him inhaling down the phone, so I had to ask. And yes, he is a smoker. No surprise he has a few opinions about that too. “Smoking has become so political now. It is insane. I am all for not smoking on the plane but in our own airspace? Like in the pub. If I am boozing, by God I will be smoking.” He reckons they’ll ban alcohol next and offers; “Al Gore said once, ‘the problem with choice is that there’s too much of it’. Governments, corporations, institutions: Punk never told everyone to be the same.” He freely admits that he sees PiL as a corporation of sorts; “Like a big bus, which I am particularly fond of steering”. John Lydon, semi benevolent dictator? No. He likes making music and he would appreciate it if you felt his deeper meaning. “I don’t believe in ghosts. I love watching all those ghosty shows on telly, but no. This nice promise of the afterlife means all kinds of trouble for humans. Heaven is on this earth. There is nothing else to be frightened of but the living.” John Lydon I think, has become an LA hippy. But he is doing it in earnest and for that he retains his coolness factor. Our time is up. I tell him that if he were here, face to face I would give him a hug. And he is off; “Ooh I shall tell my wife!” I point out he lives in the land of hugs and loud applause. “Americans are always clapping, the problem is, they don’t mean it. Like in the supermarket here they say ‘Have a nice day’, but they don’t mean it. But Jan, when John Lydon says ‘Have a nice day’… Well Jan, I mean it.” What a charmer.

During World War II, there was lots of science going on. Imagine Robert Oppenheimer was a sinister sociopath and Albert Einstein was an alcoholic with a greaser attitude. Now imagine if all of this went disastrously wrong. Then you’ve got the amazing high concept sci-fi thriller The Manhattan Projects written by Jonathan Hickman.

The original Resistance game, a first person shooter released during PlayStation 3’s infancy, has had a couple of sequels appearing on that platform (and on the PSP) in the years since. Burning Skies, the first FPS on the Vita, is a side story; set between Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance: Retribution, during the Chimera’s invasion of America. The lead character is a fireman who is caught up in the action by happenstance. Just how he is able to instantly comprehend (yet alone expertly manipulate) weirdo alien weaponry is never explained, but hey – it’s a game, right? The new star does afford the title some gameplay variety however, with a few missions and sequences in which you get to fight fires or rescue hapless victims you come across in the linear levels. Thanks to the platform’s pair of analogue sticks and, to a lesser extent, touch-screen input options, controlling the game (especially its unique set of quirky weapons) is a generally joyous experience. Presentation values vary, with sound in particular a bit on the quirky side, but overall it’s a worthy first attempt at delivering a real first-person shooter experience on a handheld.

Sorcery PlayStation 3 With storybook cut scenes and Celtic-inspired fantasy setting, Sorcery is reminiscent of a Disney fairytale – albeit a dark one. The PlayStation Move motion controller and Eye camera peripherals are required to perform the hero’s magical moves, but the navigation controller is also supported. Arm movements are accurately represented on screen, and it only takes a few minutes before wielding the ‘wand’ quickly feels like an extension of yourself, drawing you into the adventure – the occasional calibration failure notwithstanding. Everything is geared toward younger players: enemies appear in waves, meaning less chance of being overwhelmed; combat slows down during spell selection, which buys you time; dialogue between characters is laden with youthful banter; the game is linear, so there’s no chance of getting sidetracked, and puzzles are simple to solve. You’ll probably squeeze out around a dozen hours of playing time, which is just about right for young apprentices. Because waving your arm around is quite tiring, we managed about 90 minutes at a time before having to take a break. Sorcery does have a few minor shortcomings, but overall it’s beautifully presented and surprisingly fun to play. Budding young wizards will most likely love it. WRITTEN BY MICKY GUNN

What’s the ethos of your store/clothing line? With Children of Vision it’s all about curating a selection of international and local designers with a strong and unique aesthetic. When we opened the store we knew we wanted labels that weren’t anywhere else in New Zealand, and to create the kind of store we loved shopping in overseas. Jimmy D (my label) is very much a manifestation of my own style – dark, layered, unisex pieces with a sense of humour… I love fashion but we shouldn’t take it too seriously! Which historical figure had some wicked style? Thérésa Tallien – an aristocratic French eccentric from the late 18th century who supposedly bathed in strawberry juice and infamously wore a sleeveless white silk dress with no underwear to the opera. Society’s biggest fashion faux-pas? Being far too conservative.

The deep navy colour contrasts with the wooden buttons, and the lower side pocket and cuffs have a fox print - adding a bit of fun to this semi-formal number.
Colours/patterns big this season? There’s two answers for this – for my label it’s a bit of a blackout with an emphasis on different textures, but with a burst of blood red and a digital print designed by Andrew McLeod. For the shop, there’s still a strong emphasis on layers of black too, but labels like Bernhard Willhelm, Henrik Vibskov and Eley Kishimoto bring all-over patterns, earthy shades of burnt orange and khaki and a particularly beautiful shade of midnight blue.

HOT CHIP ALBUM: IN OUR HEADS OUT MON 11 JUN
Ask Hot Chip lead singer Alexis Taylor to describe his band’s unique sound, and he’s lost for words. With such a clear direction that has powered them through five albums since their formation in 2000, you would think he would know what they were setting out to do, but it is as if the sound is indescribable. The best he can do is call themselves a “pop, rock, hip-hop, soul, house, disco band” – clearly summing up the distinctive sound that is Hot Chip. “I think when we started out we were quite conscious of the idea that it had to sound like it was new in some way,” says Alexis.

electronic indie band is back with their new album In Our Heads. But what was running through their minds wasn’t a return as such, neither was a new album – and that, he says, was a good thing.
studio with an engineer. Alexis doesn’t want to overanalyse what this meant for their sound, but says, “Having someone that’s not in the band as a constant factor was a totally new thing for us.”
“We were working on two or three songs, just to see how they would go, and then from their it grew into a whole record,” says Alexis.
For those who haven’t heard Hot Chip, there really is no comparison. As Alexis says, the band has clearly drawn on everyone from Destiny’s Child to the Aphex Twin in the early days, with even a hint of Prince in their later works.
“There is no point putting too much emphasis on the recording process, but if the sound of the music is joyous, it’s because the way the record was made was entirely enjoyable.”
“What’s important to how we make music is layering things together so it doesn’t just sound like the most obvious things you could put on a record.”
The songs for In Our Heads were written primarily by founding members and high school friends Alexis ands Joe Goddard while they were simultaneously working on their own side projects, including albums by About Group, The 2 Bears and New Build.
After taking a nearly two year hiatus in 2010 after their last record One Life Stand, the

Their music videos, particularly ‘I Feel Better’ in a Attack of the Nerds-meets-Rocky Horror style take over, and their new single ‘Night and Day’ with legendary actor Terrance Stamp flying through space. Their vision is twisted, haunting but also very addictively fun. While the sound is still distinctively Hot Chip, In Our Heads leans towards fun and playful, aimed at the heart of the dance floor.
