BnetsChoice. Managed to blag my way into another
bnet music awards ceremony, this time by defending NZ On Air's honour on the
nzmusic.com discussion boards, which led to a grateful
Brendan Smyth acquiescing to my request that I be included at his organisation's table for this year's 'alternative' NZ Music Awards.
I can't believe my luck sometimes. Turns out the other table's guests are
Brent Hansen (Chief Executive of MTV Europe), and
Greg Haver (UK Record Producer: Manic Street Preachers, Super Furry Animals, Catatonia, and, ahaha, Tom Jones). So little ol' indie noizyland me gets to hang out with the big boys for a night. Hopefully it won't have such a catastrophic result as my drunken
2001 effort, when I told
Malcolm Black - Sony's A&R guy for NZ - that his sideburns were a little lame.
