If someone is constantly on the front page of our equivalent of Daily Mail due to having affairs with married men end basically everyone else, fighting and drug smuggling and who looks like a plastic smackhead then no thanks. I mean I'm not perfect but...
We are totally back to normal - no restrictions on anything. Yes we have cases coming into the country every day but they are 99.99% caught in mandatory quarantine. Of course the downside is the only people allowed into the country are NZ citizens returning home and workers considered vital to the economy, but the upside is life has been back to normal for months except the brief lockdown we had in Auckland only a month or so ago.
Aus has done fantastic compared to the rest of the world, but even they could have done much much better. Melbourne was a bit of a fiasco, as was the earlier cruise ship nightmare.
Total national lockdown for 6 to 8 weeks followed by border closures is utterly proven now to be the only thing that works. All governments know this, they are literally sitting in rooms weighing deaths against dollars. The virus has the upper hand as it doesn't give a fuck about money. The truly stupid thing is that dead and scared people don't do sweet FA to support a strong economy - let alone rebuild one. So countries will hemorrhage money and bounce in and out of lockdowns for at least another 12 months before everyone can be vaccinated.
Saddest thing... if you could get a worldwide coordinated 8 week lockdown -- it would be all over.
Two stores now here in NZ offering just the blue vinyl for preorder, but I think they are both using supply contacts from overseas rather than being directly sent stock. The orange is a JBHiFi exclusive in both Aus and NZ according to JB and so far that seems to be holding true down here.
The number of EU indy stores with the blue has increased a lot. I think it will be the same thing - many are in the indy chain getting supply directly, others are piggy backing off contacts and getting what they can.
I'm sorry The Luke, because I'm not in the group chat anymore I only assumed it was discussed there and that J ordered enough for everyone. I'll msg you, there are options and we'll get it sorted.
Dave's interview with The Project has finally been locked in for tonight's episode - 6:30pm AEST! I expect the official socials for the show will announce it sometime today, or it will be in the on-air promos.
ah it wasn't really mentioned fully i don't think, either that or i missed it. will sort something soon i'm sure (was kinda waiting/hoping it would appear in europe somewhere too). and cool π

But hey guys have you heard about the theory that Finland doesn't exist π€ So maybe we Finns, don't exist at all! π€―
Wait are you joking?
Nah that’s is in Aus. They pay me to lie to you all.
I am not joking. I see him all the time when I go back home and visit my sister
hold up....they have crowds now in New Zealand?! whaaaat?! they're just casually carrying on as normal down there without letting us know lol
Parts of Aus have also had distanced seated gigs for weeks. Melbourne is hopefully only a few more weeks away!!
Aight then I’m coming to visit !!
Man, that gave me chills. No band and the people excited and singing along. <3
We have also had socially distanced gigs here in Nova Scotia, we’ve had no, or single digit, active cases since June.
hmmm, need to possibly work out getting me an alternate cover vinyl...

Can you order the target exclusive vinyl from Canada. Got lots of Canadian friends but none in the USA.
