New Deputy Prime Minister David Seymour has also waded in on Bishop’s controversial remarks, saying, “My first inclination is maybe he’s right”.
Wait, so David Seymour is now a music critic, Bishop defender and the Deputy PM?
It’s like a the trifecta of arseholes!
Having a Minister of the Crown like Bishop ranting boozy trash talk at a Māori performer and behaving like a right proper ‘Brooke Van Velden’ is bad enough, having the new Deputy PM jump to his defence for being a ‘Brooke Van Velden’ feels like a special kind of Fox News hell.
Shouldn’t the Deputy PM be, you know, Deputy Prime Ministerial?
I’m not sure he’s in the job as a music critic or for defending boozed Ministers.
Shouldn’t he be doing something rather than this garbage?
It’s like having a brain surgeon throwing shit at cars he doesn’t like.
I feel David’s Spotify would include a lot of German composers and his film selections more Leni Riefenstahl than Taika Waititi.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
I’m with Seymour and Bishop ( neither of whom I usually have any time for). It was a political stunt and perhaps Bishop thinks the artist is crap.
David Seymour had to support Bishop because PM Luxon is noted noted for defending his Ministers and Caucus members even when they are right – as Bishop was.
PM Luxon is not noted…………………
Of course you are Ennius, it’s who you are. It’s like you were there and saw it first hand to make your decision. Hahahaha!
Well running NZ is a personal hobby indulgence with various friends who are above criticism and some detractors should be ashamed of themselves says Davis Hiss.
Seymour has told New Zealand today he is our worst nightmare. He is not even as good as a wet fart from a mutts arsehole but he is dead right with that utterance.
He’s got to be the biggest jerk that has ever entered parliament.
His self indulgent, self congratulatory, speech to one of his rent-a-crowds was an insufferable diatribe of verbal garbage.
This is what hubris borne out of nothing more than big money donors and living in a silo looks like folks.
The good news is that it’s all about to head south for Seymour no matter how much he talks himself up.
N.Z. is in all sorts of trouble…What a mess.
Vulgar comments show desperation.
Yes but desperate to be liked Seymour just keeps making them
Martyn – Much of NZ Music, apart from specific cases, is crap!
Name those specific cases
Derek – Split Enz, Crowded House, Noise Works, Howard Morrison…and about other acts.
Nathan – I am finding it hard to think of specific cases.
Ennius – Up to 10 are okay/good…
Of course you are Ennius, no critical thinking involved on your behalf, just the usual.
You should go back to England then if you wanted Maypole dancing …
Famous Musicians from Aotearoa/NZ on the world stage .
Rosé , Keith Urban , Scribe, The Mint Chicks, Kiri te Kanawa, Hayley Westenra, Katchafire, Shihad, The Beths, OMC, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, L.A.B., Shapeshifter , Dave Dobbyn, Stan Walker, Kimbra, Benee, Lorde, Crowded House, Six60 , Flight of the Conchords, Shirley Setia..
Poor Nathan, Rule Brittania isn’t our flavour either.. Tutira mai nga iwi, tatou, tatou eh…
OToole – Half of those artists are crap –
Stan Walker
Scribe
Kiri te Kanawa (she was famously called out for not being able to sing 15 years ago on the BBC)
Lorde (Computer generated music and singing),
Flight of the Conchords (a joke band).
Nathan half of your comments are crap to be fair. Taste is individual, proclaiming to be the the last bastion of music taste does you no favors.
Noise Works? Your whole argument and knowledge of NZ music just fell over.
National are squeaky clean – Against your 80% plus crap comments…and Noise works was fronted by Jon Stevens – Kiwi
OToole – I am a Kiwi…try again.
Looking at your musical tastes shows you are probably a boomer. And Noisweworks are Australian numbnuts.
stand_alone_complex: Noiseworks are fronted by Jon Stevens, a Kiwi, who writes and sings the songs…scholar.
Gen X is my Generation genius.
There are Kiwi born and raised players in the Irish, Welsh, Sottish and English Rugby teams, does that make them New Zealand Rugby teams? No. Just because Jon Stevens (who became an Australian citizen before starting Noiseworks) CO-WRITES the songs doesn’t make the band from New Zealand ya pork chop. Even admitting that you like them is a sin, even the god awful classic rock stations in this country don’t play them, unsurprisingly, after all, they are just a poor mans Icehouse. Their reliance on using I,V, IV chord progression and an over reliance of minor pentonic scales makes them one of the most insipid, boring and predictable AOR acts from the 80’s. Perfect pub fodder for Boomers. You are obviously a man born in the wrong time and country, dickhead.
stand_alone_complex: by your standards – both Crowded House and Dragon are Australian bands…try again.
Yeah why not, Australia can have them.
Also Fat Freddies Drop and Salmonella Dub…
stand_alone_complex – BBQ Dub? You poor bugger.
And yet have sooooo much more talent than Noiseworks, you poor impotent “little” man.
stand_alone_complex: Right-o, your one- hand typing is getting better…lots of practical
Nah, got your wife here doin’ that for me.
A good start by the new deputy PM.
Yep living up to his arrogant prick reputation
Fabulous start by David,evidenced by the attention afforded him on the TDB.
An excellent Prime Minister in the making.
Disasterous by David,evidenced by the attention afforded him on the TDB.
An catastrophe and will get nowhere near ever being a Prime Minister in the making.
Seymour has got about as much taste in music as dancing with the no stars in which he was fucking awful as everyone on TDB knows.
Whom 92% NEVER VOTED for.
And those that did vote for him were parties to a dishonest and unethcal arrangement but hey they’re tories so what do you expect?…ethics? lol.

Little Dave as musical as, can’t even twerk. David Bowie wrote a song for his delusions…

The whole NACTZIs , CoC, Trumplicking, Netanyahoo fanboys anthem song
Folks, I’d like to sing a song about the American Dream
About me, about you
About the way our American hearts beat way down in the bottom of our chests
About that special feeling we get in the cockles of our hearts
Maybe below the cockles
Maybe in the sub cockle area
Maybe in the liver, maybe in the kidneys
Maybe even in the colon, we don’t know
I’m just a regular Joe with a regular job
I’m your average white, suburbanite slob
I like football and porno and books about war
I got an average house with a nice hardwood floor
My wife and my job, my kids and my car
My feet on my table and a Cuban cigar
But sometimes, that just ain’t enough to keep a man like me interested
(Oh, no, no way, uh-uh)
No, I gotta go out and have fun at someone else’s expense
(Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I drive really slow in the ultra fast lane
While people behind me are going insane
I’m an asshole (He’s an asshole, what an asshole)
I’m an asshole (He’s an asshole, such an asshole)
I use public toilets, and I piss on the seat
I walk around in the Summer time, saying, “How about this heat?”
I’m an asshole (He’s an asshole, what an asshole)
I’m an asshole (He’s the world’s biggest asshole)
Sometimes, I park in handicapped spaces
While handicapped people make handicapped faces
I’m an asshole (He’s an asshole, what an asshole)
I’m an asshole (He’s a real fucking asshole)
Maybe I shouldn’t be singing this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe they’re right when they tell me I’m wrong…
Nah
I’m an asshole (He’s an asshole, what an asshole)
I’m an asshole (He’s the world’s biggest asshole)
You know what I’m gonna do?
I’m gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado convertible
Hot pink with whale skin hubcaps
And all leather cow interior
And big brown baby seal eyes for head lights (Yeah)
And I’m gonna drive in that baby at 115 miles per hour
Gettin’ one mile per gallon
Sucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonald’s
In the old fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers
And when I’m done sucking down those greaseball burgers
I’m gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag
And then I’m gonna toss the styrofoam containers right out the side
And there ain’t a goddamn thing anybody can do about it
You know why? Because we’ve got the bomb, that’s why
Two words: nuclear fucking weapons, okay?
Russia, Germany, Romania, they can have all the democracy they want
They can have a big democracy cakewalk
Right through the middle of Tiananmen Square
And it won’t make a lick of difference
Because we’ve got the bombs, okay?
John Wayne’s not dead, he’s frozen
And as soon as we find a cure for cancer
We’re gonna thaw out the Duke, and he’s gonna be pretty pissed off
You know why?
Have you ever taken a cold shower?
Well, multiply that by fifteen million times
That’s how pissed off the Duke’s gonna be
I’m gonna get the Duke, and John Cassavetes
And Lee Marvin, and Sam Peckinpah, and a case of whiskey
And drive down to Texas and
(Hey! You know, you really are an asshole!)
Why don’t you just shut up and sing the song, pal?
I’m an asshole (He’s an asshole, what an asshole)
I’m an asshole (He’s the world’s biggest asshole)
A-S-S-H-O-L-E
Everybody
A-S-S-H-O-L-E
I’m an asshole, and I’m proud of it

Bob, is the David Seymour you are thinking of is David Seymour the Polish photographer, a compassionate and humane leftist who sadly is no longer with us?
Or is it David Breen Seymour, Chris Luxon’s boyfriend, Dep’ty Dawg and bastard in chief?
Bad“ crazy, immature comments “ by David Seymour yet again. I hate his nonsense attitude, a person of
little integrity, the cowardice of his convictions.Will be an terrible Deputy PM.
Now, now stevie you are getting mean and rather nasty. You are better than that.
Yes the photographer from Poland who later became a US citizen only to be killed tragically by Egyptians at age 44.
