MusicWatch: New Tiki album profits to fund research into sex with self

Best spiteful photoshop ever.

Not just is he clearly New Zealand's greatest sound man, being able to put stuff 'through the echoes', and even EQ them. (Which is pretty clever and super original, especially when you're mixing for a band with 'dub' in the name.) But he's also a singer-songwriter powerhouse. We saw glimmers of this in his groundbreaking flows (rudeboy! yeah! ... don't give a care!) on various tracks for Salmonella and Concord Dawn (ahead of the curve A+R choice man). But it took him playing an acoustic guitar in a church dedicated to himself, Elvis style, for anyone to really get it through their thick skulls that this guy is a fucking musical genius.

So anyway, we're all clued in on the music genius thing now. But do you know about the research? Keeping one step ahead of the game, he has also been devoting considerable resources to biotech start-ups which he hopes will one day allow him to actually make out with himself, rather than whatever it is he thinks he's doing right now. Presumably this technology will involve cloning of some sort. I don't know. Ask a scientist.

Postcript: People who complain about the shitness of musicians who are plastered all over the TV are quite retarded. What? You're trying to prove to everyone that you're too edgy and real for commercial radio? Or MTV? Wow. Learn to music. But still... I can't help it.

Important Note: No amount of bitching about a crap NZ musician will top the time one of my fellow bloggers bought the artists CD, smashed it, scanned the debris, and sent them an email of it. Presuming it wasn't a lie, that sort of ended the game, especially since with CDs dead there's nothing left to smash.
