Kiwi transitions and\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/em>Aussie waves of thought<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

During the recent snow days, or what I shall always remember as ‘the time without heat’, I was pondering the meaning of Kiwi Classics: a philosophical thought, perfect to pair with the deep freeze which had taken hold of Lawrence.<\/p>\n

KiwiClassics has developed into a philosophy. Yes, a true philosophy \u2013 but before I roll into it, this is a musical ideology we’re talking about\u00a0after all and I would be remiss to not recommend music to accompany your further reading. -Something relaxed like the\u00a0Mixture’s 1970 cover of\u00a0‘I<\/a>n\u00a0The\u00a0Summertime<\/a>‘\u00a0(originally by Mr. Mungo Jerry).<\/p>\n

We are conducting analyses\u00a0during\u00a0every\u00a0show\u00a0on KiwiClassics\u00a0and challenging waveforms of thought \u2013\u00a0just bear with me here for a second.\u00a0Every Thursday from 6-7pm, we\u00a0are\u00a0juxtaposing genres, challenging ideals, taking apart musical theories and gazing\u00a0the\u00a0inside\u00a0of theories of thought.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

What we are doing is\u00a0endeavoring towards ultimate enlightenment here on Kiwi Classics.\u00a0Apologies to those who appreciate stone-wall structures and rigid forms of organization;\u00a0I intend to continue the deconstruction of tried and true and sometimes white-laced styles –\u00a0I promise, I’ll arrive at the point in the next few sentences.<\/p>\n

If you readers indeed clicked the link earlier in this ramble (In the Summertime), then you’re current listening to music that I’d classify as loose, relaxed, old-school rock,\u00a0while\u00a0just reading an uptight piece about philosophies\u00a0and the banality of old ‘walls of thought’.<\/p>\n

Relaxed, smooth listening: uptight, over-vamped reading.<\/p>\n

We’re not paired, we’re juxtaposed \u2013 but to what end? Following the Mixture’s, I’d recommend OMC’s\u00a0How Bizarre<\/a>,\u00a0a song from 1995 which reached top US music chart positions in the mid 1990s –\u00a0a light pop-rock\u00a0song featuring tambourines and trumpets. The possibly jarring 25 year jump from ‘In The Summertime’ to ‘How Bizarre’ isn’t due to greenhorn naivety, but rather an attempt to fly through the ages and challenge listening habits. Aside from relaxed lyrics, and a laid back style, the two share another thread of being from the two of the largest land masses of Oceania.<\/p>\n

Chaos defined:<\/p>\n

\"Steriogram+-+Walkie+Talkie+Man+-+DOUBLE+CD+SINGLE+SET-307750\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’d end this micro-set of songs, with the 2004 song ‘WalkieTalkie Man<\/a>‘ by the New Zealand band Steriogram. Spitting roughly 209 words during a\u00a02:13\u00a0minute song (including non-lyrical riffs and musical sections), one might, from a removed perspective, wonder about this\u00a0connectivity and flow between this set\u00a0of songs. But in defending myself from my own\u00a0feeble\u00a0attack,\u00a0I would say that\u00a0from\u00a0that\u00a0the ground level of the music \u2013\u00a0the tracks flow.<\/p>\n

Rolling through time, we’ve traversed decades of music, shown a progression of related styles and slowly increased tempos, all while maintaining the KiwiCode (playing music from only NewZealand and\u00a0Australia) and an overarching theme of playing music that once experienced similar\u00a0(albeit\u00a0short-term) popularity in the US.<\/p>\n

One could almost consider this an educational experience… if only credit hours were so cheap.<\/p>\n
