I retired from personal blogging in July 2008 but you can find me over at blog.xero.com

The Tutts
Posted by rod@drury.net.nz in Music at 7:54 pm on Wednesday, 12 December 2007

Being married now for almost 10kg’s and with the threat in a couple of weeks of greenpeace throwing water over me at the beach I’ve been loading up the iPod and hitting the Cybex machine.

I downloaded ‘The Tutts’ song ‘K’ last week from iTunes after following a playlist. I’d challenge anyone not to take your heartbeat up to 180 while powering along to K, especially when they crank up the drums two thirds in. I just saw the video on Juice TV and was amazed to see they are a New Zealand band. Woohoo! Pride!

Video here …

Another world class New Zealand song from 2007 now available on iTunes (video as well) is Atlas with Crawl.

I expect JohnB in San Fran to download the Tutts and Atlas from iTunes today please.

While on the subject of music I flicked passed alt.tv the other night and saw what seems to widely thought of as the best cover ever. Alice In Chains with Gretchen Wilson covering Hearts ‘Barracuda’.

They just nail it. What was interesting to me is that Gretchen Wilson is a Country and Western singer. Check out the ‘Redneck Woman’ howler in the related video links. If that’s not a case for changing genre’s.

And finally one of favourite vid’s loaded onto the iPod Touch is Perfect Circle’s (ex Tool) ‘Judith’ which includes what appears to be regarded in blogosphere as the sexist hair tie up maneuver ever.

So I’ve shown you mine. What’s on your iPod?
