100% D.I.Y punk rock!



I'll get one sent off to you soon as Steve!

Hey Mike
Albums arrived - thank you very much. I'll keep ya posted as to when a review is, um, posted!!

Good to hear the postman got it to you okay! Thanx Steve, I'll look forward to the review...

Well I guess you'll be sending one to the most influential punk show in the land then

guess i betta get round to sending your cd's too

been busy, ya know

If you send me your address I suppose I could send you a copy! But you have to play the bloody thing...

I'll expect your CD's in about the year 20,000,000!

haha yea sorry bout that Mike, shit happens but i ain't generally slacker, i thought i sent you a cd neone ago ionce before and it didbn't arrive so it might be subliminal but i'l stop being hippy and send them asap etc

and of course i'l play it, i am often compiling for compilation purposes too which takes awhile seeminglyin nz but i will make sure to ask you for permission which i did for this one and it has been noticed overc's etc etc

Though Blair, you'll have to PM me your postal address if ya want one...

Been on a few international comps, dunno about NZ ones though... I think the day that The Pukes/Mike Puke get asked to be on a NZ comp will be a... umm... probably never happen! Still, who gives a shit...

The Pukes are gonna be on another upcoming international comp soon, put out by some American record label... must be double CD, cos there's 45 bands from 15 different countries on it!

Actually Steve, I could send you a copy of one of the international comps for review if ya want! I have a few copies of one of them lying around...

really, cool, put in work will travel, yea you're on the first, i put togetha but didn't ask for permission, woops, shortness of time over chrissy it was ridiculous but had to happen, cynical kiwis not wanting to take part and laziness on their part to get them off their arse! it worked

the new ones ben getting attention overc's cause i's hooked up with good catz, support the um scene, i'm a litle bit sick of this syncophated oi, hardcore, thrash scene bullshit too, its so hipster, its like how bout call it punk rock and get some ears, i am like a vegan to art, you break rules i break connections which is why i can stand differant moral stances if the musics good or got someit to say, the recording could be shit if songwritings there but this one was an endeavour to get bands again not to be laxidazical then moan in my ear i never played them or it was so hard overseas or rest on their laurels and be selfish about rather than helping others when circumstances arise etc

you were one of the only 'punk rock' bands at punkfest one year but i enjoy it all, if its got the steez haha, looking forward to it Mike, PM sent oh and listen to show ya punk!

Just a quickie for now... Blair, I got your PM okay, so I'll get that CD sent off to you... I tried replying to your PM, it eventually sent (I think)... let me if ya get it okay, if not I'll re send it!

transmission recieved

Good to hear you got the message okay Blair!

I wasn't too worried about you using our song on your comp without permission, no big deal or anything! I'm not that precious about shit! Ha ha, if I was I wouldn't have any songs on the internet at all!

The thing that gets me a bit these days is all these fuckwits that keep bleating on about "musical ability, recording quality, blah blah blah..."! Who fuckin' cares...? That's what punk rock was about in the first place... shoving all that shit aside and getting real! Those with "musical ability and high quality recordings" are usually just spoilt brats with huge egos who wouldn't know what any form of reality is, even if it went flying up their arsehole sideways while rotating at 70,000,000,000 rpm with barbed spikes attached and 20,000,000 volts of electricity running through it all!

My shit might not be the best shit out there or anything, but at least I did the lot myself... and without going to some fuckin' university and being trained up as some kind of fuckin' "rock star"! And I can't think of a hell of a lot of other solo punkers in this country who've done a hell of a lot better! So easy to critisize when those critisizing haven't done jack shit themselves!

Ha ha, end of moan...

Yeah, Punkfest (2004) was fun!

completey agree, well not completely or else i wouldn't be me otherwise or a punk aha

Got CD! will play some on air on Wed along with other greats

listen up punks!

Hey Blair, I replied to your PM's... again, it took ages for them to send etc so if ya don't get them let me know and I'll resend them!

Glad ya got the CD okay!

First thing I listen to when i get up in the afternoon

Should wake you up okay!
