The Daily Blog Open Mic – 16th December 2024
Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.

MMF Aotearoa Advocates For Local Artists In International Shows And Tours With Spotlight Aotearoa
Saturday, 14 December 2024, 10:46 pm
Press Release: Music Managers Forum
The Music Managers Forum (MMF) Aotearoa is calling for greater inclusion of New Zealand artists in international shows and tours across the country. Spotlight Aotearoa aims to ensure that local talent shares the stage with global acts, fostering growth, preserving Aotearoa’s unique musical identity, and keeping the economic benefits of live performances within our shores.
What is Spotlight Aotearoa?
Spotlight Aotearoa is a bold call to action for the inclusion of New Zealand artists as opening acts for international tours. Inspired by Australia’s ‘Michael’s Rule,’ a voluntary code proposed by the Association of Artist Managers (AAM), this initiative advocates for a similar policy in Aotearoa. Spotlight Aotearoa seeks to ensure:
Local Representation: Every international artist performing in Aotearoa includes a New Zealand artist among their opening acts.
Equity of Experience: The local artist performs on the same stage with access to high-quality sound and lighting.
Marketing Support: The local artist is announced alongside the international tour to maximise promotional opportunities.
The Need for Action……………..
How can you further this positive upward-moving approach?
