Hello Cruel World

Our best thoughts & wishes go out to Chris Knox, mainstay of the NZ music scene for too many years to think about, who, according to Pitchfork, is recovering from a stroke with, at this stage, unknown permanent consequences. We hope for the best. Speaking for ourself, we never really latched onto Tall Dwarfs, but "Not Given Lightly" is and remains one of the great late-20th-century songs - and not appended with the words "from New Zealand", either. And nobody can deny.
