As if his Husker Du, Sugar and solo stuff wasn't cool enough, he also used to write scripts for professional wrestling. No sh*t.
 
He's a top man, alright.

He does backing vocals on the Foo's song Dear Rosemary from the Wasting Light album. Dave Grohl is a big fan of his.

Great album, I only have it on tape and Itunes don't seem to have it. It is bloody brilliant though.

Deal or no deal. That was a very entertaining one tonight. I really wanted that girl to take home the $.

In fact, in general, Australian game shows are pretty good to watch.

Some argue that it is grammatically incorrect, but grammatically unconventional is properly more accurate. I use it, hence why I suggested that it rules

That's a shame. If you look at the stuff poll (link below) more than double the amount of voters want to see them in Wellington over anywhere else and people who want to see them in chch also outnumber the Auckland voter and you'd think chch fans would rather travel to Wellington if they had to. I know it's only a poll but generally they give a fair indication (give or take) of what people think.

Not necessarily, stuff (fairfax) doesn't have a big presence in Auckland, I would expect a NZ Herald poll to show a completely different result.

News of the World fiasco!
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.
