It's New Zealand Music Month. I won't lyrics-spam, and I cn't upload songs because
-I haven't got enough money on my Canterbury Card
-I haven't got any NZ music on my computer right now

BUT HAPPY NZ MUSIC MONTH ANYWAY!!

Well. People like to conveniently ignore this fact. But.

One of the greatest bands of the late 80s was fronted by Dean Warham who is a New Zealander, born in Wellington. The band? Galaxy 500. They were extremely influential -- nearly to the level of The Velvet Underground, if only because they repopularized the sound of the VU.

Now Dean Warham is fronting Luna (http://www.fuzzywuzzy.com). This is a band that isn't quite as great but equally worth listening to. I highly recommend the album _Bewitched_.

It is too bad that the two bands didn't actually form in New Zealand but nevertheless it's Kiwi blood behind the music.

:D People always like to forget us. No-one knows that the person who sings this son from American Pie, which I know a lot of people like, is from New Zealand. And all these great songs by Crowded House keep getting covered >:O!!! rage.
