Gli amici Polpette mi segnalano che Chrome ha deciso di bloccare (chissà da quanto) l'accesso a questo blogghetto per la presenza di contenuti potenzialmente dannosi (no, non la musica ormai raramente condivisa, ma le immagini da Lycos del glorioso template). Per questo motivo tinteggio di bianco le pareti e ricomincio dall'alba.

"How Bizarre" is a 1996 album by New Zealand group, OMC. It was first done under the huh! recording label, issued by PolyGram New Zealand, and manufactured and marketed by Mercury Records in the United States. The title track was very successful worldwide which has given this group it's status as a one hit wonder. OMC is from Otara, Auckland, New Zealand. Originally the Otara Millionaires Club, the full name of the band is a tongue-in-cheek reference to Otara's status as one of the poorest suburbs of Auckland. [...]

![[Listen/Download] – Skybox – [Indie/Rock/Pop]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2478075_lg.jpg)
This is cool and something that I can completely get behind. I hadn't heard of Skybox until yesterday afternoon. TartyTart on Twitter retweeted one of Skybox's tweets, linking to their latest blog post. Generally when I find a band for the first time I'll play their music from their MySpace/Bandcamp/Website etc and read about them as the music plays in the background, and today I did the same thing. It took me about 15 minutes to read their post as I kept getting distracted by their music and going back to listen to it again. [...]

When we chose to post this video, we had absolutely no idea that OMC singer, Pauly Fuemana, had passed away just weeks ago in his hometown of Auckland, NZ. The news made us sad, but the video made us happy, so we decided to put it up for memory's sake. And if I remember correctly, the "How Bizarre" chorus line made the summer of 1997 one of the bests ever (that, and my boyfriend at the time totally looked like Leo DiCaprio). Fun fact: OMC originally stood for Otara Millionaire's Club. Funner Fact: Brother Pele and [...]
Pauly Feumana whose band OMC had a massive hit worldwide with 'How Bizarre' died at his home in New Zealand from a short illness yesterday at the age of 40. Full report here from Reuters . The deceptively upbeat song - whose title was inspired by a ubiquitous catchphrase - revolved around peculiar encounters with policemen and circus performers. But behind the catchy melody and Mariachi horns lurked a darker story, hinting at Fuemana's upbringing in a crime-infested suburb of New Zealand's biggest city. "I put a lot of [...]

Filed under: News , R.I.P. Pauly Fuemana, the singer of New Zealand's biggest-selling single of all time, 'How Bizarre,' has died at age 40. The Auckland-based singer, who performed in the '90s group Otara Milionaires Club, then as a duo under the moniker OMC , had been suffering from an illness for several months, according to WENN, and was surrounded by friends and family when he passed away. The Polynesian Fuemana, who was half-Nuieian and half-Maori, first performed in a group as Otara Millionaires Club, named after a [...]

Clear Channel has flipped one of its Louisville stations to a format called "Louie," which the bigwigs are actually saying is the first firmament in what will be come to known as "Gen X radio." Yes, the generation that inspired so much Boomer disdain is finally getting a format to call all its own, although the music associated with it may not be what you necessarily think of when you think of slackers and Singles . Quoth CC market president Bill Gentry: "It’s focused on a musical experience... [that] crosses cultures from grunge, hip-hop, hair bands, boy bands and [...]
