EDITORIAL HANNAH PETUHA My past editorials have been poor attempts at making profound statements. I am an overwriter and it’s a challenge to break free from that pattern. Recently, the marker of a large essay of mine commented that I have ‘too much poetic flourish’. In some ways I don’t believe it’s a bad habit to have but it’s also the first mark I’ve received that I’m heavily disappointed with. These internal struggles take me in and spit me out. Right now I am uninspired, overtired, and questioning my writing ability. My office desk is not stashed with piles of notes but I wish it did so I could tear it down and watch the paper fall to the floor. Instead of giving you another profound statement I can’t properly articulate, I feel that it is time to share some things that make me feel warm inside. I like music - everyone does. I do not have the experience to write a playlist column like Bronwyn Laundry (see page 19), but I should test the waters to cure my debilitati ng overwriting addiction. The bands mentioned below offer something different than the usual Drivers License nonsense. They unlock a hidden memory; a forgotten smell; a comfort. And as the first Trimester draws to an end I think we all need a bit of that.

The Lumineers Ho hey, first band mention of the day. A combination of rock and folk is great to listen to while making breakfast. The Head and The Heart When a stranger from KIK recommended this band, I gave it a shot. Eight years later and I’m still listening. Moody as. Catfish and the Bottlemen Welsh, edgy, rock band because I’m an edgy gal. The Cure Similar to The Smiths but their music is better. It reminds me that I have a British birth certificate, that I could move to London, and voyage down Notting Hill. The Paper Kites When you’re in the backseat of a warm car and rain falls on the windows. Everything is warm inside and you’re starting to doze off. That is how you feel listening to their music. Blood Orange Perfect songs to dance to in your kitchen when no one is home.

FULL EXPOSURE FULL EXPOSURE

For the artistic scene, you would assume most people would escape to the likes of Wellington. While Hamilton does not have the same overpriced boutiques or moustache-riddled baristas, there exists a pool of artistic talent. Hidden in Frankton’s rugged streets, the Never Project Space rears itself up, hosting music, art galleries and local talent - it is a slice into the realm of expression and creativity. Nexus interviews Nicholas Walsh and Eliza Webster, the directors, who tell us what the space has on offer.

Nexus: Never Project Space is an independent artist-run space in Frankton. Since opening, has this changed the Hamilton culture? Never: I’m not sure if that’s for us to say but we would like to think we’ve had a positive impact on the creative landscape here! The feedback from the community has been super encouraging from day one. We take pride in making Never a super welcoming and inclusive environment for people and I think that comes across. We’re offering something pretty unique in that we provide a space for visual art, music, and literary work to co-exist and mingle. We’re also an all ages venue in the heart of Frankton village just outside the CBD… All of these things are points of difference that we lean into. Nexus: Tell me about the history of the space. Never: Our space has had a pretty colourful history by all accounts. From 2015 to mid-2020 Eliza Webster (co-director) was running the space as a contemporary art gallery, ‘Skinroom’. Before that the building was a tattoo parlour, and going back before before that, it was a gay night club. We have people coming in and telling us wild stories about the history of this space all the time. It’s nice to think we’re building on that tradition in our own way.

Kupu Whakaatu / 特辑 events and new ideas. It can be hard to step back and recognise just how busy we’ve been when you’re right in the thick of it. I’m not sure if either of us expected it to snowball into what it is today! We saw the potential in joining forces and both put a lot of energy and thought into what we wanted to achieve. But with that said, there’s also been a lot of organic development since we opened too. Nexus: Can we expect more spaces like these in our future community? Never: We hope so! Kirikiriroa is certainly ripe for it. There’s a palpable hunger for more creative spaces and venues and a strong sense of community so I can imagine new things popping up this year. Nexus: What type of music genre usually plays here? Is it the stereotypical “underground” music not many people would know? Never: Never’s music programming is wide open in terms of genre. We’ve had everything from ambient music to folk, to loud punk bands like Die!Die!Die! It can be difficult for musicians who are just starting out or people making experimental or “underground” music to find an audience in Kirikiriroa so we try to fill that gap. Nexus: Bands such as Jiahu Symbols and Halcyon Birds have played in your space. Who else should we expect to see in your space this year?

Never: Lots and lots coming u p ! We h a v e Ka n e St ra n g playing in July which will be great. He’s a musician from Dunedin who just released his second album. We’re also organising our second off-site show (location and line-up are Nicholas Walsh and Eliza Webster top secret at this point!) which we’re really excited about. Later in the year people can expect to bring their dancing Nexus: What vision did you first have when opening? Did shoes along to Never more often… you expect to be where it is now? Nexus: What has been the most rewarding part of your job Never: Our vision was to work together to grow the space so far? and to up the ante in terms of hosting regular arts (in the broadest possible sense) events in Kirikiriroa while making Never: As much as it’s definitely a lot of work to keep the most of our beautiful space. something like this going, running Never is a constantly rewarding experience. Meeting and hanging out with Eliza and I only met properly in late 2019. I was looking at incredible people regularly is a big one. As well as being a spaces in Hamilton that might work as a venue/creative gallery, music venue and shop, we have five studios with space and Eliza had been running what is now NPS as people working on their own creative projects throughout ‘Skinroom’. We quickly discovered we share a similar ethos the week, so it’s inspiring to be surrounded by good people and it would make sense to team up and build on what Eliza and creative energy all the time. had established. Rebranding as Never Project Space was a Beyond our immediate community, most Fridays we have good way to signal a shift in direction and energy. an event on which means we’re meeting new people every Never opened in June last year just after the first COVID-19 week and hearing/seeing incredible art that we wouldn’t be lockdown. Since then it’s been pretty much non-stop with exposed to otherwise. It’s a good life! NEXUS MAGAZINE / ISSUE 10

NEXUS GETS JIGGY Universities can be a place where knowledge and opportunities flourish. Pathways emerge in the face of new talent which, in this case, lies in the hands of former Nexus editor turned DJ. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Friction, A.M.C and State Of Mind, 21 year old UMBERS has burst onto the scene in the last six months with his upbeat and heavy mixing style. Nexus: You recently changed your name from UMBERS UMBERS to just, UMBERS. Was this an artistic choice or are you half the DJ you used to be? Umbers: I believe Umbers Umbers was my Facebook name in second year, fuck I thought I was funny. Honestly, I think I’m still the same battler that I was two years ago and I have no problem with that. I tried to think of a different name when I was planning that kind of thing and I just decided to go with what everyone has called me for the last 7 or 8 years. Nexus: You wrapped up the shitfest that was 2020 by playing a set at The Fridge at Rhythm and Vines. Has this impressed your parents or are you a continuing disappointment? Umbers: I did indeed, and what a time that was! I think it impressed them a bit, but I am still the family disappointment - let’s face it. Still feels pretty surreal that 8

I got given the opportunity to shell out some crook tunes for the best part of an hour. Can’t thank my mates Charlie Spicer and Ben Shaw enough for that opportunity, top lads. Nexus: When producing music do you like to use sample packs or source your own samples? Umbers: I don’t produce but it’s something that I’m looking at getting into. I told myself at Rhythm and Vines that this would be the year that I download Ableton or FL Studio and actually start learning how to make my own beats. When the time comes, I will more than likely use sample packs, or if my mate Harry is feeling up to it, I’ll stick a microphone next to his bum and see if I can get some wobs. Nexus: You’ve been a Hogan Street resident for some time now - have you met any DJ rivals you’ve had to duel? Umbers: Negative. I think we all like to support each other and continue to one-up ourselves on the daily with new tunes we’re finding and mixing, who can pull off the sickest blend etc. If it came down to it, I think A.M.C would give me an absolute walloping in the boxing ring.

Nexus: Who are your biggest musical influences and what was your first ever Drum & Bass gig? Umbers: Growing up as a kid my favourite band was Green Day, with those sort of punk-rock vibes. I guess that sort of continued, but grew into an electronic form. First heard it in maybe 2015 with Feint and Pendulum. So further down the line that just evolved to some kind of fast-paced, inyour-face type music. And here we are I guess. My first gig was a charity gig in July last year at Neck of the Woods in Auckland. I played b2b with THOMO. That was an unforgettable night and we also managed to raise $6000 toward suicide prevention! Nexus: Most recently, you opened for Turno at the Back Bar. Which is your favourite club that you’ve played in and why? Umbers: Tough pick between Back Bar and Pointers in Auckland. The people who run the venues and gigs there have both given me lots of opportunities to progress myself in the world of disk jockeying. As well as that, the atmosphere at both venues is pretty up there, can always find me having a good time. Cannot forget the sound system at Back Bar either, that thing fucking goes. I’d love

to play at Studio in Auckland or Hide in Christchurch. They’re both venues I’ve either been to or seen videos of and they’re mental! Nexus: There are plenty of drum and bass critics out there - what is your best counter argument to these tasteless fools? Umbers: There’s lots for everyone out there - a lot of the stuff that is being produced by the big dogs these days is pretty poppy and you’d be hard pressed to find someone that won’t want to listen to Wilkinson or Sub Focus. Even my mum does. If that’s too boring for you then there’s loads of other stuff, I wouldn’t even know where to begin. Mind you, DnB critics are pretty hard to find in NZ these days. Nexus: And lastly, what’s next? What has the rest of 2021 got in store for you? Umbers: I’m going to continue developing my style and put out a few more mixes. One of my goals for this year would be to play an acid house set at Refuel Jo’s. Nah, I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing, playing every now and then and hanging out with gigs. Making new friends and just having a good time!

Jak Rāta Zinefest hit Hamilton on May 8th and went off without a hitch. With that, came the infamous After-Party, hosted by the invaluable Never Project Space. The entire party came after the titular event and created an alluring atmosphere that can be remarked as ‘alty and vibey’. Which, in all honesty, is not dissimilar to most things thrown by our local art community.

As someone who has been to his fair share of art shows and live performances, I was keen to get myself up in that space. I love the smell of patchouli and positive affirmations by impeccably dressed artists. Why wouldn’t I want that? Although I couldn’t actually attend the After-Party - I’ll have to go off imagery and personal accounts to give me a more formative impression. When speaking to one of the people that had the pleasure of going to the event, they had this too say, “The whole vibe was on and everyone was having a fucking awesome time. I was surprised to find the music to match my own tastes and I hadn’t heard anything about Pumice or even Limn but it was definitely nice to rock to and exchange the old smile to people I’ve never met. I didn’t actually attend Zinefest but I’ve been to Never before and have never been to something I’ve not enjoyed. So, I dragged my sorry butt all the way there and didn’t regret a single moment.”

Zinefest allows artists the ability to interact with fans and give an insight into what it is they’re trying to accomplish. With the backing of artists, the After-Party had to match the feel and atmosphere while remaining authentic to the Never Project Space and everything they’re about. Surely not that hard, right? The After-Party boasted quite the local lineup. With the likes of Pillcutter, Limn and even an appearance from Tāmaki Makaurau’s Pumice. Whom of which slapped according to some of the attending patrons. This range of artists are sure to get some hips moving and heads banging. Or something like that. The event also awarded the ‘Best-of-Fest’ winners. A term definitely better coined by the event planners as I’d have called them the ‘Festy-besty’ winners. The lineup is as follows: Best Visual Zine: Brendan Olphert’s ‘Tomb Dunes’ Best Literary Zine: Nina Harper’s ‘Itsy Bitsy’ Best Non-Fiction Zine: Jess Begovich & Grace Elgie’s ‘Pussy Press Anthology’ (Big fan. No bias. Terrific mahi.) 10

All in all, this sounds like a terrific effort from Never Project Space, and certainly a success to add to their list of amazing events and shows in the past. I know this sounds like a bit of a fluff up for the space itself but let's just say that the work and representation that Never is creating is certainly one not to be missed.

ABOUT Bowchickawowow - Bronwyn Laundry Go fuck yourself.

Let’s Get It On - Marvin Gaye Would be rude not to. Gravity - John Mayer He may be a sleazy playboy who broke Taylor Swift’s heart when she was only 19, but he writes some damn good bangas to bang to. Dang! (feat. Anderson .Paak) - Mac Miller If they were a boy band they’d be called BDE. Come Down - Anderson .Paak Double feature for the man who invented sexy music. Rebound - Strangely Arousing To quote the ginger from Pitch Perfect, “it really builds... if you know what I mean.” Nothing like a trombone solo to get you in the mood. Gorgeous - mansionz A bit of a slower jam but it’s all about the bass line.

Cool - Dua Lipa Do I want to fuck to Dua Lipa or do I just want to fuck Dua Lipa? We’ll never know. (We do know.) River - Bishop Briggs Ok not gonna lie I heard this song on Riverdale. Shy - Leon Bridges ;) ;) ;) Pineapple Skies - Miguel Did you know Stevie Wonder isn’t short for Steven it’s short for Stevland? Irrelevant but there’s a lyric about Stevie Wonder in this song and Genius just informed me.

Cold War - Cautious Clay I’m pretty sure I’ve already put this on a playlist before but I just need you all to listen.

Oliver Dunn For your grandparents, it was the radio in the lounge - a great, big, beast heavy on the treble, full of recipes and imagination. Then eventually it was your parents with vinyl and cassette tapes - tangible, personal purchases, warped, faded and loved. Older cousins kept tradition with CD compilations of Christmas and copy and paste popstars. But now it’s you, and you’re different. Today you move equipped with only your phone and a wireless device rattling in a nearby cup holder. Music’s digital metamorphosis over the last 20 years has seen both weird and wonderful iterations. The iTunes store flung the doors of possibility wide open, exposing our virgin brains to an endless catalogue of artists. LimeWire crawled out from the pits of the internet, offering genie-style wishes where

you get the new Foo Fighters album but lose control of your mouse. Sites like The Pirate Bay allowed torrents to empower digital piracy like never before, giving fif teen-year olds the power to trawl through terabytes of music and movies and definitely not porn. Now we find ourselves in the great age of streaming that spans across all media. Spotify holds the keys to our sonic destiny, a giant greedy animal that pulls the strings on musician income and user taste buds. We certainly aren’t the same listeners as our Meema or Peepoo, but do we realise how much things have changed in the last 10 years?

Kupu Whakaatu / 特辑

Dat New New Gone are the days of asking friends for music recommendations or Real Groovy deep dives. These days, Spotify tech is busy studying your listening habits and constructing playlists filled with new songs and artists you could like. You might assume that this is a simple process in which a user listens to Pitbull and is recommended David Guetta. In actuality, Spotify analyses a song’s loudness, tempo, and duration, alongside other things, to fully understand your own personal recipe. What was once a social, organic process has been synthesised into an express service. Despite how you might feel about it, it’s shown to expand the average listener's taste in both variety of artists and genres. Pirate’s Life With the birth of the MP3 came the slow death of the compact disc and from it’s still warm carcass sprang online piracy. But it would seem those dark days are somewhat behind us. Thanks to the

current generation of streaming we are less likely to be sweaty, grubby thieves stealing full discographies on the daily. It is still not a perfect system however, as Spotify pays artists peanuts for plays ($0.00038 to be exact). (Don’t Fear) The Reaper The modern album is dead. People do not consume full projects the way they used to. Back in 2020 a Rolling Stone study showed how much of an album people listen to by analysing streaming data and generating a percentage score. Amongst some of the biggest albums in the last ten years, most albums scored around 65%. This doesn’t seem overly surprising. In 2021, we are constantly being tempted by shiny new music to take our attention. We just do not have the self-control or attention span to commit to a concentrated listening experience. But hey it could be worse. You could be ten years younger and be having your first impactful listening experience through TikTok. Those poor bastards will be dependent on trends and corporations to dictate their favourite new song for years to come.

Quinn McKay Ferris Bueller was right. There is a modern-day epidemic of productivity and “hustle culture”. It is hard not to be overwhelmed at times by the feeling of inadequacy compared to what others are achieving. It is all relative, though; some choose not to share all they are accomplishing (which is also acceptable), some just prefer to work away quietly. Here I am droning on about work, but this article’s real point is to remind you to slow down from time to time. University is undoubtedly a very formative part of our lives. It is chaotic at the best of times, and all the while, we are still trying to figure things out. It is as though we always have something due or something coming up, continuous anxiety sitting in our subconscious, making us feel as though there is something we should be doing (which there probably is). There are always going to be things due, busy times, but it is entirely acceptable to slow down and take some time to reflect and chill out. It’s better to keep things simple. Less is more, but it’s also less. That’s the point. As with anything, there is a balance; taking some time for yourself gives the productive times meaning, but only if there are productive times too (duh) and you are not winding up in a binge marathon on Netflix, OnlyFans, or playing Fortnite. Many of us may be dismissive of this phenomenon, thinking that it’s common sense, but few heed it. The take-home point I’m trying to make is that it’s okay to slow down every now and then - refocus, reprioritize, and check in with yourself and see how you are doing. University is a demanding time, but it shouldn’t be your whole life (as much as our lecturers wish it were). I think the words of Ferris Bueller have never been more accurate, so when you next feel overwhelmed from productivity, and your head is swimming with everything you must get done, just remember, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

Sumayyah Gordon In case you weren’t aware, the UFC is the kingpin stage of mixed martial arts, and is notorious for many things. The octagon cage design being inspired, in part, by samuraiwielding Chuck Norris in the 80’s, the gag reel that is Dana White’s obscene commentary and perhaps even Lyoto Machida’s practice of urine therapy, accrediting his own No.1 for his stint at No.1. The list goes on. Despite my own shortcomings - a trial and error introduction into Muay Thai that resulted in a corneal tear, my inability to tell Joe Rogan and Dana White apart, and the fact that I will never willingly choose pay-per-view over a @ houseofhighlights recap reel, there is one thing I do know inside and out about the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Amanda Nunes, Weili Zhang and Ronda Rousey are some of the biggest, most loved female fighters in the UFC. At the time of women’s introduction into this arena, UFC executives didn’t believe women’s matches would gain traction to become successful. As we know now, the outcome was the complete opposite. Female fighters in the UFC have amassed major popularity and are quoted as being “a huge growth engine” by Chief Operating Officer, Lawrence Esptein. He noted, off the back of Rousey’s six-month experiment into promotional combat sport, that featuring women has been, “transformative to the UFC”. With this knowledge, White and other execs sold a strong message of female empowerment. The organisation promoted their female athletes under the sheer guise of market expansion, a major profit boost and ultimately capitalised on the crock of shit behind a banner that yells ‘representation matters’. The UFC may have come to understand the power in promoting female athletes, boasting insufficiently backed claims of pay parity as revolutionary to female sport - but the rise of female UFC fighters isn’t necessarily obscuring profound exploitation and inequality under all those lights. After all, it doesn’t take a PhD in gender studies to recognise that a stereotypically hyper-masculine brand like the UFC cannot be so quickly absolved of sexism. In the model words of Khabib that demonstrate an attitude found throughout women’s sport, “Be fighters at home” … “Finish your husband”.

WSU STUDENT SUPPORT

Jak Rāta Gore is a huge part of horror, it’s also something I like a fair amount of. Now I’m not saying that it’s all blood, guts and intestines but just some light blood never hurt anyone, right? Well, that's a matter of opinion; I’m sure the victims wouldn’t say the same tbh. When most people think gore, they think of Saw (torture porn fantasy) or Evil Dead (that scene with the trap door has me all kinds of sick). But for me, the idea of Splatter horror can’t be complete without the 2006 masterpiece that is Black Sheep. Okay, I can already hear the groans and the sound of eyes rolling but follow along. You have an animal fighting back against the usual predator, the human, and being successful in most cases. Sure it rides the coattails of films like The Birds, Cujo and Pet Sematary. The idea of watching animals eat humans is definitely my cup of tea. Shit is hella satisfying and I can’t help but side with the animals. Back to the Black Sheep - the premise explores how a young man is able to overcome his indoctrinated fear of the four legged beast. Henry, the main character, returns to a family farm to find mutant cross-bred sheep attacking people and animals in the surrounding area. From a storytelling point of view, this film is traditional in it’s exploration of themes and ideas; with really basic character development. But where it shines is in it’s dark humour, playing into that Kiwi stereotype of sheep-shagging. What a fricking crack up with the reveal at the end; who’d have guessed that creepy older brother with rapey overtones would be bonking sheep… Overall, the film is damn gorey and explores blood in such an interesting way. They don’t restrain on what they show and are pretty bloody open in portraying the death scenes as on the nose as they possibly can. Big recommend to anyone who’s a fan of kiwi cinema or sheep being set on fire by their own farts. Ka Pai Aotearoa.

Waikato Students’ Union Representation is important, everyone knows that. But in reality, it can be a little bit more difficult to ensure, especially in a University setting. So how do you ensure that as a student, you are well represented? There are many areas that you can utilise to ensure that your voice is heard - the Divisional and the Academic boards are the most useful avenues to utilise. However, knowing how to get into those roles is the real issue. To get onto the Divisional or Academic boards, you need to have been a class representative. This means that when your lecturer asks the classic question of “who wants to be a class rep” you raise your hand. The Divisional boards are elected in March and April from the previous years class reps. Therefore, if you’re interested you should speak to your lecturer or your faculty administrator. As a board member you will be expected to speak for the students in your faculty, and as such, you will need to have a clear idea of what students' opinions are, which you will then bring to the board meetings. Once you have been elected to sit on the Divisional boards, you will then have the opportunity to be elected to sit on the Academic board for a term of one year. The purpose of the board is to advance and coordinate the academic activities of the University. So, if student representation is important to you and you want to do something a little bit different at University, be proactive and take advantage of all the opportunities available to you.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty Quinn McKay

Love and Monsters Kendrah Worsley

In my opinion this film is an underrated classic. Directed by Ben Stiller (yes, that Ben Stiller), the film imagines Walter Mitty, a timid, daydreaming, negative assets manager, working for Life Magazine. Through a series of circumstances Walter finds himself breaking free from the monotony of his day to day and embarking on epic adventures around the world in search of a negative of a photo intended for the final cover of Life. With a unique visual style and great score, the film showcases Walter’s liberation from daydreams and begins to live life, in the process working through demons from his past. This endearing film has some very profound lessons and leaves the viewer feeling a sense of optimism and selfactualisation, making you want to get out there and live your life. Definitely recommend giving it a watch.

The idea of watching Dylan O’Brien hopelessly battle a bunch of mutants in order to be with his one true love sounded like nothing more than another episode of Teen Wolf. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but I had pretty high expectations going into this Netflix Original. Dylan O’Brien plays the sweet and fearful Joel Dawson, who is separated from his girlfriend Aimee when an asteroid headed for Earth releases chemical fallout, destroying 95 percent of the population and rendering the world’s creepy-crawlies (lizards, frogs, insects and worms) into monstrous killers. Joel seeks refuge in an underground bunker, with the company of complete strangers, lacking the one thing they all seem to have in common; a soul mate. Some seven years later, Joel finally reconnects with her over the radio and learns she is now 80 miles away. He then sets out on a noble quest to get to her and meets a dog named Boy along the way, who I can only describe as the cutest (and most important, if you ask me) character in the film. There is only so much that could be said without giving away the (entirely predictable) plot. This film is a real mixed bag of special effects with some super irritating pick-me energy from Aimee, and some seemingly important questions left answered (who does the red dress belong to that Boy carries everywhere?). I shouldn’t complain too much - I can’t expect anything more from a film called Love and Monsters. 28

Kath and Kim Jak Rāta

Kath and Kim may very well be a cultural staple for most, but for me it’s nothing more than some overquoted lines and shitty overshot skits. The main characters can come across as insufferable and aren’t made much better from the supporting cast. But before you start calling me an asshole for this, let me explain. While I think the main creators of the show, Jane Turner and Gina Riley, are comedic gold; this show deserved a bronze at most. The storylines are a definite hit and miss with some hella highs and earth shattering lows. Scenes of bogan lifestyle doesn’t hit like it used to and the character of Kim has you gripping the edge of the sheet so as not to throw the remote at her head. Not something I’m entirely keen on giving a third rewatch (don’t judge me).

Taskmaster - Season 11 Caitlin Walters-Freke

Taskmaster, Greg Davies and ‘little’ Alex Horne are back with another great season featuring Lee Mack, Sarah Kendall, Charlotte Richie, Jamali Maddix and Mike Wozniak. The premise is simple. Make Greg Davies happy. You watch these five talented comedians throw their dignities and reputations down the toilet in an attempt to perform various random tasks. These range from painting portraits or shoving a frozen banana in a bottle full of jelly. Despite the impacts of COVID, the show continues with social distancing in place and successes in maintaining it’s charm and wit which it’s so well-known for. With iconic lines like “an absolute casserole” and “you’ve got no chutzpah”, it’s easy to find something to love and laugh about in this cult classic of British comedy. So, I’ll leave this review with a task for you dear reader… Binge Taskmaster on TVNZ OnDemand. Your time starts now.

Undercover Statues Hannah Petuha

When I was asked to review Undercover Statues’ latest EP, I was expecting some chopped-up lyrical nonsense - this was not the case. I like my music how I like my mind, a bit chaotic and edgy. Undercover Statues is a relic to some latenight garage jams after a few drinks. The song ‘...For I Have Never Seen Such Explicit Images Before’ reminds me of an old Wild West standoff if rock musicians took the place of local sheriffs. Their music could be described as bearing similarities to the Arctic Monkeys (which is more of a compliment than an insult), so if you want to listen to some new tunes that are a bit more underground (I’m looking at you true Clairo fans) then this EP might be just the knack.

Ingredients: 1/2 packet elbow macaroni 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons flour 2 cups milk 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 1/4 cups grated cheddar cheese

Method (slightly stoned):

Method (too stoned):

1. Cook the pasta according to package directions, then drain. While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. When the butter is melted, whisk in the flour to form a paste.

1. Get out a pot. Pot. Lol. Have you ever noticed that in that 80s song ‘Melting Pot’ that everybody’s mum is super fucking racist?

2. Leave to cook for 2 to 3 minutes until golden. Slowly add the milk, a little at a time, whisking so there are no lumps. Cook until thickened. 3. Remove from heat and stir in the salt, pepper, and 2 cups of cheddar cheese, and whisk until smooth. Add the cooked pasta and stir until combined. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese on top and serve hot.

2. It’s stuck in your head now, oops. WHAT WE NEED IS A GREAT BIG MELTING POT. BIG ENOUGH BIG ENOUGH BIG ENOUGH. 3. Cook a packet of Continental Alfredo you found on your flatmate’s pantry shelf.

DIRECTOR BIO E ngā mātāwaka o te motu, mauri ora ki a tātou katoa!

He uri tēnei nō Ngāi Tūhoe me Ngāti Ruapani ki Waikaremoana! My whānau hail from the mighty Te Urewera, but I’m also proud to say I was born and raised here in the Waikato. I’m officially in my 5th year of study (eeeek!) and I’m completing my Masters in Community Psychology. I’m a low-key nerd and am passionate about what I study - I enjoy researching, tutoring and other mahi related to my study. Outside of university, I enjoy spending my free time with my cute puppy, visiting whānau (for free kai), thinking about hitting the gym, and watching a tonne of Netflix. I used to love to read but course readings took the fun out of that (anyone else?). This year, I am the Waikato Students’ Union’s VicePresident Māori which means I get to be a part of the executive of the WSU giving voice to Māori tauira. Part of this job is to chair Te Kāhuinga Tumuaki, which is a hui set up for all of our roopu Māori to get together and work on making the tauira Māori experience here at Waikato better. Another part of my role is to support kaupapa Māori, roopu Māori, and the Māori office on campus - often that means having to MC which my introverted self does not always enjoy. On that note feel free to say hi if you ever see me hanging out on campus or at Puutikitiki (our new Māori student space). Don’t be put off by myawkwardness, I promise I’m actually nice. Lol. E mihi ana!

Wheako Tauira / 体验 I arrived eight minutes early and was seated alone at a table towards the back. I was extremely nervous as I’d never been on a proper date before. I was offered a drink but decided to wait for the date to arrive so we could order together, but as time passed slowly, I kinda wished I had grabbed that drink. Thoughts of being stood up anxiously crossed my mind but, very punctually, my date arrived, thank goodness. He looked to be a tad younger than me but I thought he looked cute nevertheless. As he sat down, I introduced myself and he did the same. Embarrassingly, I was so nervous about meeting him that when he said his name, I forgot to make note of it! We began by ordering a drink and had a wee think about some food. Eating in front of people I don’t know makes me a little uncomfortable, so I went with the safe option of pizza because it’s hard to mess up putting a triangle in your mouth. Him on the other hand settled boldly on a burger. I’m not sure if it was because this scenario was a very new experience for the both of us, but I must admit we started the talking a little awkwardly. At first it was the usual “what do you study?” and “what do you do for a job?” but as the night went on and the food came out it became a little easier to chat. I liked the sound of his hobbies and was impressed with some of the things he does like snowboarding and skiing! We talked about kayaking and sports, and I found myself having a really nice time getting to know someone new. At the end of the date he asked for my number (which I thought was super sweet) so I gave it to him. We hugged and parted ways. He text me later that night and it looks like a second date might be on the cards (and finding out his name)!

Having never been on a blind date (or any date for that matter), I had no idea what to expect but was definitely curious about what the experience would be like. Spoiler - it was great! Initially I went around to my mate's place and received some very questionable advice. I was expecting to be nervous about the new experience but I was surprised to find myself pretty calm about it, until I walked in the door. When I showed up, I went to the bar before being directed to a table where I was met by a very attractive woman. This was followed by a nice greeting and exchanging of names, that I managed to miss while overthinking the situation (a cardinal sin I know), I then proceeded to immediately smash my knee into the table (just to further embarrass myself). We then exchanged the usual small talk about what food to get as I nervously looked at the menu. I finally decided on the burger (definitely not the most gracious food choice for a date, but great nonetheless). Over drinks and a meal, we had a very engaging conversation, getting to know about each other, our interests and so on. I was pleasantly surprised that we had much more in common which meant that time flew by and before I knew it, we had been there for two hours! As the night came to a close, we went outside and ended the date with a hug and exchanging of numbers (a far better ending than I was expecting going into this!). I’m hoping that we are going to end up meeting again soon! Overall, this was a great experience and one that I’m not going to forget, and far less terrifying than I expected it to be. Thanks Nexus for the opportunity to give this a go. I would strongly recommend it to others!

This week’s bachelorette can be described as timely, sweet and organised (she turned in her Blind Date write up the next day). Our bachelor had us in suspense, getting his write up in only hours before we had to go to print. Both participants of this week’s Blind Date have never been on a date before and we all know, you never forget your first. That said, will this date be one to tell the grandchildren or is it a memory better off buried along with the rest of your teenage trauma?
