7.1.2025 21:00Comment on The Great Jandal by MoveFastAndFixThingsThose shoes weren’t meant for walking. They say before you judge a person, you must walk a mile in their shoes. If that’s the case, I won’t be judging Gus Cope, because his shoes are a beaten pair of sweat-soaked jandals. Once upon a time, Gus was camping with friends at the Routeburn Flats for […]
26.12.2024 21:34The Great JandalThe 1964 guide to pest control in Aotearoa. The American at the dinner table is telling us about coming across a woman, who from the sounds of it was a West Coaster, in the act of dispatching a possum. I won’t get into it, but a rock was involved. He goes a bit pale as […]
26.12.2024 21:25A plague on both our islands’Twas the day of TWALK. It’s late April, just before dawn and the autumnal cold is really flexing. Its bite is downright devilish. But that hasn’t deterred a throng from amassing in the turbid light. From students to retirees to ultra-running human cannonballs, they form ranks as a free brigade of outdoor frolickers – or […]
26.12.2024 20:50Walk this wayCan we fix it? Yes we can, and we should. It’s Sunday morning, and the Wānaka Community Workshop is abuzz with power drills, bobbin winders and hammers. Outside under a marquee, someone is sorting out the drivetrain on a vintage Mongoose hybrid bike. In the main workspace, a wooden chair, a planer and a toaster […]
26.12.2024 20:44The Right to RepairViv Head explores a hidden hut on the Old Man Range. A short climb through the tussocks and we were there: the ‘Skiers’ Hut’. Its existence is known to some, its location to only a few. Central Otago’s Old Man Range stretches for about 40 kilometres, 24 of which look down on the Roxburgh Gorge […]
11.9.2024 10:39Shelter from the stormLiz Breslin and Eliana Gray trot south for the 2024 NZ Gold Guitar Awards and find maybe all that glitters is gold after all. Eliana: “We haven’t quite finished the renovations.” An email, approximately a week before Cowboy Genius saddled up to ride through the Gold Guitars like an outlaw wind, or a trio of […]
9.9.2024 03:24Cowboy GeniusesDirected and produced by Hank Bilous Our favourite photographer/writer/nurse/skier and regular 1964 contributor has made a movie, and we caught it at The New Zealand Mountain Film & Book Festival earlier this winter. Blending poetry with skiing and surfing, this is not your traditional action sports film. It’s more about people and learning than your […]
5.9.2024 03:43Film review: The War on StyleBy David Coventry Simply put, Performance is a memoir detailing David Coventry’s experience of living with ME (Myalgic encephalomyelitis), a debilitating illness that has a way of defying diagnosis, treatment, causation, and sense. But Performance can’t be simply put. It is a memoir, but also a novel, a work of autofiction, and a space in […]
5.9.2024 03:38Book review: Performanceby Miriam Sharland After nearly two decades in the country, Miriam Sharland was set to move back to the UK in early 2020. Then the borders closed. Heart Stood Still (Otago University Press, 2024) is a series of personal essays based on her journal entries from that time. The pieces follow the pattern of the […]
5.9.2024 03:28Book review: Heart Stood StillAn alt-country/rock band based in Arrowtown, Killergrams is singer-songwriter Tom Maxwell, singer and bassist Sam Maxwell, as well as Nick Lynch on piano and Reuben Pearce on drums. More a reintroduction than a release, Midnight Hours has an interesting backstory. A change in distribution companies saw the original album, their 2019 debut, taken off streaming […]
