Are they new? I haven't heard about it...

Yup, theres the old mushroom midprice masters, they sound pretty terrible. But then there is the new limited digipacks, remastered by Eddie Ranyer (Enz Keyboardist), 2 of them are also remixed. Some also have extra tracks.

Dont go near it mate, its horrible. I had a pint of it last winter and I swore never to go near the stuff again. Celtic is probably the best of the rest, golden is horrible too in my opinion and the others are pretty standard. I bet they sell a shitload of Summer ale in season, and no winter stuff. Ive been all round the world, and its the best beer ive ever tasted. I dont think theres a more beautiful thing than a pint on a hot Fri arvo after work in the sun.
So I look forward to a couple of cold ones in the sun before the big Vector gig in November. Hope its a Thurs coz Fri means I cant go out after and if its a Saturday ill struggle to get there early.

I can see that we're gonna be great pals haha!

My Friday tradition in summer after work is to stop at the wholesaler on the way home and pick myself up some, go home, turn up the stereo and chill out with some ice cold Monteiths Summer. Oh man im drooling now :( haha

Man you got me excited too...I wonder what month they bring it out in?Thats what I remember about the Foo's concert, sitting at home with their new cd cranked drinking Summer ale getting ready to go to Supertop. Heres to doing that again this summer.
But out of the tap is the best way to enjoy it, the big pints at the Monteiths pub down the rd go down far too well. Bring on summer!!!Oh and I meant to mention, when they go out of circulation late in summer they give em away cheap. At my local (Basalt in Howick) we had a whole night free drinking it on my mates bday. That was sweeeeet

Yeah man, not at the moment though obviously...I actually found a place where they had a few bottles left but I wouldnt go there for a casual drink. Monteiths bars like Malt in Grey Lynn, Villager in Remmers, Basalt in Howick (these are the ones I Know about) always sell it on tap in summer. I spend many a Wed night at Basalt with my summer friend.

Maybe its because i've just finished nearly 15 hours at work, and i'm tired and grumpy and full of rage, but all i want to say is...

WHOA, SHAKE IT UP, ITS LIKE BAD MEDICINE. BAD MEDICINE IS WHAT I NEED.


thanks for letting me say that...

Has anyone seen this on C4/Juice yet? Ive kept flicking over and seen WWS a couple of times, but no Life Wasted. I have however seen alot of Chris Brown, which is no good thing.

just to bring this back on topic a bit...

I brought the Pearl Jam 1991 xmas vinyl from real groovy (in Auck) last week for $15, and they have the "Live at Easy Street" cd there for $25.

I thought I brought it back on topic nicely with the Life Wasted video. Im bidding on Easy Street CD as we speak. If it goes above 25 ill know what to do....not buy it. Theres only 7 tracks on there I think all its got in terms of worth to me is completing a collection.

Nice find! Good condition? Hell, for $15 I'd buy it regardless. I pretty much figured there's no chance of finding that in NZ.

As for Easy Street, I just bought 3 copies from Easy Street and it came to $42 including shipping, in case anyone is interested.

I must be the only person who cant stand that beer, I brought a six pack a couple of years ago, i managed to have a couple of mouthful before i vowed never to touch it again.
