Good Morning!My surreal run as the go-to guy for blogging comment in the NZ media continues, with an appearance on TVNZ's Good Morning show on (of all dates) April Fool's Day last week.

For those of you, like me, who don't actually ever get to see this show, you can download the segment below.

The actual experience of being on the show was yet another hilarious example of small-town NZ at work. I turned up for the interview and was welcomed onto the set where I met the interviewer Evie - who used to work on Flipside where blog-buddy (and early bizgirl fan) Damian Christie used to be the producer.

And then, in the green room afterwards, I bumped into music reviewer extraordinaire Nick Bollinger, who lives around the corner from me, and who I now have semi-regular chats with when we bump into each other around the streets of Island Bay.

What a lovely small village I inhabit. So much different from the big wide world Natalie is currently exploring.

Anyway, here's the downloads...

James on Good Morning AVI Video (3.34mb)
This requires the open-source XviD codec to view. Download and install it here. Don't be put off if 'codec' doesn't mean a thing to you, it's a completely painless process - go to the page, select the PC or Mac download, download it, double-click the thing you've downloaded, and whatever media player you use for watching video will now be able to play back the file AVI file properly (if you don't install it, chances are you'll end up hearing the audio, but not seeing the video).

James on Good Morning MP3 audio only (0.9mb)
As it says - just the audio. But, be warned, you'll be missing out on seeing my Scooby Doo jacket making its network premiere.

Update: I've taken off the big mpg version, as it was taking up too much server space. If you want a copy, just flick me an email. Cheers.
