Like a blimp, the Airlander lacks internal structure but keeps its shape with a helium-filled hull made out of Vectran, a tough fiber spun from liquid crystal polymer that resists cuts and moisture. It can take off and land anywhere like a helicopter - no ground crew or additional infrastructure is needed.

It’s called the Airlander 10: over 300 feet long, it’s a floating airship that’s 25 percent bigger than a Boeing 747. It’s 1,340,000 square feet in volume and can soar up to 20,000 feet at 90 miles an hour cruising speeds. It’s made by Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV), a British company that wants to make

THE B.BIKE The B.Bike aims to give tots a head start when learning to ride a real bicycle by providing a fun and super-safe way of scooting around. The design’s soft curves and playful style give it an inviting aesthetic that won’t intimidate. Its round form and carefully crafted shape also make it harder for kids to hurt themselves while playing. With a parent’s help or solo, little ones can strengthen their legs, practice balance and prepare for the next step in riding!

Mick Hucknall My part in his downfall

When it comes to musical legacy, the UK has plenty to be proud of; we gave the world so much: melodic pop, amplified guitars and the most hallowed music venue the world has even seen, Wembley Stadium. The fact that it was so good didn’t stop some arsehole deciding it needed to be bulldozed and rebuilt. Oh well, bygones. album. I specifically bought you a Skrillex CD to enhance your musical knowledge. Mother, step away from James Blunt, we don’t care if he says you’re beautiful. He used to be in the Army, he probably has herpes.” There could be parallels between growing out of cool music and gaining middle-aged spread: we become lazy in the gym and lazy on our ears. One moment we’re bopping to the Ramones in a beat-up Mazda, the next we’ve got finance on a BMW station wagon and we’re desperately looking for that Robson and Jerome album. I despair. *This was meant to be an article about how awful the music of Simply Red was but a) that would be a short article and b) every time I looked at a picture of Mick Hucknall’s pock marked face I thought to myself “Hmmm, really must grit the driveway”.

Unfortunately, for every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction. For all the superbity in the UK’s musical canon, there’s wanton acts of cruelty imparted by record executives, dishing out pop so bland if it were a piece of clothing it would make a Richie Benaud off-white suit look like a Vivienne Westwood creation. You can forgive the likes of Pete Waterman foisting Kylie and Jason on us; those tunes had fantastic melodies and a hook so good you could land a yellow fin tuna with ‘em. But then you have types like Messrs Cowell and Fuller: no one gives a shit what the music sounds like but if it sells a million copies, it’ll do for them. I think in many ways the younger generation has to take responsibility. As the arbiters of what is cool, what is on point, they have a duty to educate their parents. “No Dad, you will *not* listen to this Lighthouse Family 6

Five Minutes with:

Clap Clap Riot’s Dave Rowlands

Kiwi four-piece alternative rock band Clap Clap Riot have been gigging around the country for more than ten years. Their debut album Counting Spins was named ‘Best NZ Rock Album of 2012’ by iTunes. Tell us a bit about your creation process. The process changes a lot, I think we’ve got to keep it fresh, though there’s always similar threads. We’ll get the beginning of a song mumbled through, focus on the melody, then the lyrics and build it up from there. Though it really varies, there’s no hard and fast rule for creating music! What influences you? Books, films and TV series are a big influence for me. I’m right into Lost in Translation, I love how the visual elements and the sound track work really well together. Stranger Things is shot really well too. What’s the strangest thing to happen to you at a gig? I was walking backwards while playing guitar on stage. I walked right into the drum kit, knocked it over and ripped by pants on the drum riser. I kept playing but my pants would not stay up for the rest of the show. Check out Clap Clap Riot at Sherwood on Thursday 15th Sep.

Named after the applause machine designed for 80s music show Top of the Pops, they’ve been eliciting applause at festivals like Splore, Big Day Out and Rhythm and Vines for years. Currently on tour with rock and roll crew Racing, the two bands will descend upon The Sherwood on 15th September. The Source had a quick catch up with Clap Clap Riot’s guitarist and songwriter Dave Rowlands. What can we expect from you guys at The Sherwood? Fuzz Pop. Short, sharp tunes with an underlying edge of energy, guitar, a bit of a 60s influence and a lot of Kiwi influence. We focus on being a LIVE band, no laptops or any of that stuff, just us, instruments and the freedom to play live music! What’s on the radar for CCR? We’ve just released a single, Help Me. It’s our first in two years and a small taster of our forthcoming album (due for release early 2017). We’ll be playing some of the new material at the gig. 8

Sprout a Native

When it comes to gardening, it’s hip to go native.With Kiwi species sprouting up all over, picking the right seeds is easy. Go buy a pot and decide which long-term relationship you’re looking for: Tall, Dark & Dangerous: Sure, their big, strong branches provide tempting shade on a hot summer day. But who knows what lurks beneath the bowers. . . Willows – Obsessed with water, they’ll suck up whatever liquid their creeping roots can locate. And when that fails to catch your attention, they’ll throw off a limb or two – breaking anything underneath. Lemonwood – Tame - as in appearance, the tree’s speedy growth demands frequent pruning. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself in one delicious-smelling leafy trap. Just Dangerous: There’s nothing dreamy-James-Deany about these bad boys. An innocent flirtation with easy gardening can turn into an infestation of thorns, brambles and heartbreak. Speargrass – Nicknamed “Bastard Grass” by Queenstowners who’ve tangled with its sharp leaves. Requires no extra watering but lots of aloe and bandages. Matagouri – Another hands-off addition to the garden. Its thorns are so sharp the Maori originally used them for tattooing.

Sweet & Independent: Goodbye tedious clipping, watering and shaping: these wild native seeds want to spend time in your mouth, not under your green thumb. Raspberries – Their tasty fruit ripens during the summer season. Come autumn, pull off the dead bits and look forward to another nine months of store-bought apples. Thyme – Give it a little sunlight, water whenever you remember and crumble the results of your labour over homemade pasta. Handsome, Yet Headstrong: Think you can handle a more attractive species? Overlook their inner blemishes and these local beauties are sure to woo. Kowhai – Named with the Maori word for “yellow”, this tree’s blossoms are as iconic as the Tui birds they feed. But beware: standout fame may lure entire busloads of camera-toting Korean tourists. Rowan – Like a sensitive lover, its colours change to suit the mood. Stunning autumn leaves lead to bright winter berries. But beware: the white blossoms that follow smell overwhelmingly of cat piss. 10

Midnight Wrap followed by a Walk of Shame Devil relish is certainly a belly full. However, in case you do find yourself strutting the stroll of success, here’s a few tips to avoid shame: 1/ Shower – If you were friendly enough to ride, you’re friendly enough to share water closet facilities. Wash away the smells and the joker-esque make-up job asap. 2/ Steal clothes – that sequinned body-con skirt/Ted Baker chequered shirt is obvious party wear. Search the room, grab the biggest hoodie/ jeans/jogging pants you can find. Run for it. 3/ Time it right – After the bin men have been, before the school run. 4/ Attitude – it’s not the walk of shame if you’re glowing with success… The seed of revolution is repression. Woodrow Wilson

SOUNDS LIKE A CLASSIC NIGHT OUT FOR BRITISH AND AUSSIE TOURISTS IN QUEENSTOWN, BUT THEY ARE ACTUALLY TWO OF THE TASTIEST LUNCHES IN TOWN.

The Midnight Wrap is grilled chicken tenderloins with creamy feta cheese and a sundried tomato/olive chutney all lovingly enclosed in a white flour wrap.

1940s - Dr Carrot, alongside his crony Potato Pete are the poster boys for Britain’s ‘Dig for Victory’ campaign. Despite Dr Carrot’s goofy glasses, the government create the myth that the Royal Air Force can see in the dark because they eat lots of carrots. They’re actually using radar. Carrots are used as an alternative sweetener in recipes and unsuspecting children are proffered carrots on sticks masquerading as lollies. 2016 – There’s some bloody tasty salads and lunches at Habebes with carrots in them – high in vitamin A, beta-carotene, fibre, vitamin K, potassium and antioxidants, they’re low in calories and pretty damn good for you. It’ll improve your eyesight if you spend too much time in front of the TV but radar is still better for seeing in the dark.

4,000 – 5,000 years ago – Wild carrots are white or purple in colour. Seeds and carrot tops are used for medicinal purposes but nobody thinks to dig one up and take a bite. 10th Century – Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq domesticate carrots and figure out the root part is pretty tasty. 15th Century – Word of a fat, orange mutant gets around, it’s called Donald… no, no, wait, it’s the modern carrot. 16th Century – Herbalists hail carrots as effective against the bites of venomous beasts.

Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted. Vladimir Lenin

Seven Surprising Facts About By SARA LITCHFIELD

Sprouts

Of all the vegetables in the garden, one is by far the sorriest specimen. Like the annoying relation you can’t stand to sit next to at the Christmas family gathering but who still has to get an invite, the poor Brussels sprout, despite being a staple at the festive feast, can’t turn up to the table without someone pulling a face. That person’s never me though, I sit at the Christmas table smug in the knowledge that I’ll get more than my fair share. Boiled within an inch of their underrated lives, for me, they’re the perfect, pale green, slightly soggy centerpiece that the turkey and all those other trimmings accompany. I’m not going to try and change your mind about the muchmaligned mini-cabbage. But I am going to share some surprising facts you may not have been aware of, so you at least have to concede that they’re more interesting than your average carrot. 1. While there are two main types of Brussels Sprout – the dwarf and the taller – there are actually 110 varieties. Some of them are purple. One of them is called Red Bull. 2. Sprouts are cruciferous, which sounds like a curse out of Harry Potter but actually comes from the Latin for ‘cross-bearing’ and 14

is the moniker of the family of vegetables whose flowers have four petals that resemble a cross. 3. There are (allegedly) 9,000 ways to cook Brussels Sprouts. This was genuinely reported in a British newspaper. No source was named and they only listed five of them. 4. The current world record for the highest number of sprouts eaten in one minute is 31. 5. Sprouts are really high in vitamin C and vitamin A and have anti-cancer properties. They basically save lives, like little soggy superheroes. 6. The heaviest-recorded sprout weighed over 8kg. Which is ridiculous. 7. The slyest thing you can do with sprouts is use them to replace that box of Ferrero Rocher you ate that was meant to be for the guests. Tuck them in the original, crinklyfoil wrappers, put the lid back on the box and deny all knowledge.

ONE TO WATCH The Ruins (2008)

Two young couples are on a lazy Mexican vacation - sun drenched days, drunken nights, making friends with fellow tourists. When the brother of one of those friends disappears, they decide to venture into the jungle to look for him. What started out as a fun day-trip slowly spirals into a nightmare when they find an ancient ruins site and stumble upon a creeping horror unlike anything they could ever imagine. 15

poet’s corner

By STAN PINKY

The Provokial

Your dark silhouette stands Hunched, curled, Like an extravagant walking stick Used just for decoration Your skin is leathery A wrinkled hide, So thick it’s your Impenetrable battle armour. Your colour is dark aubergine, Your face a mouldy claret And your hands and feet A dirty foxglove. You stand just feet away Staring at me with those saucer-wide eyes, The shiny button pupil swirling like a black hole, Ready to engulf me in less than a second. My throbbing heart beats loudly A constant reminder of my existence, Each beat pounding harder the longer you stare at me. Just as my nape begins to prickle Your shrunken mouth opens to speak, A slow but terrifying gesture. You hold out a bony hand Blink once, Then twice, and say, “Let’s hold hands... yes?”

book review

WHO RULES THE WORLD by Noam Chomsky Noam Chomsky is the world’s foremost intellectual activist. Over the last half century, no one has done more to question the great global powers who govern our lives, forensically scrutinising policies and actions, calling our politicians, institutions and media to account. The culmination of years’ of work, Who Rules the World? is Chomsky’s definitive intellectual investigation into the major issues of our times. From the dark history of the US and Cuba to China’s global rise, from torture memos to sanctions on Iran, Chomsky explores how America’s talk of freedom and human rights is often at odds with its actions. Delving deep into the conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan and Israel/ Palestine, he provides nuanced, surprising insights into the workings of modern-day imperial power. The world’s political and financial elite have become ever more insulated from democratic constraints on their actions. Chomsky shines a powerful light on this inconvenient truth. With climate change and nuclear proliferation threatening the survival of our civilisation, the message has never been more pertinent or more urgent: the need for an engaged and active public to steer the world away from disaster grows ever greater. With the US election in it’s full dreadful, swing, this is a pertinent book. Like all of Chomsky’s work, recommended.

THE MUST HAVE

What next?

Sprout-hairpins became a trend in Chengdu, China sometime last year. Men, women and children could all be seen with plastic plants growing out of their heads. The pins were selling for around $1. “People need something fresh to enrich their mundane lives” explained sociologist Gao Xuanyang to CNN. “Be it a hairclip, a purse or a T-shirt. The ones who followed the trend didn’t really want to know the meaning behind it. They only want to show off their hipness by wearing the sprout clips.” We at the Source actively encourage this trend. It’s awesome. 18

OUR SPROUTS HAVE CLOUT From small acorns, giant oaks grow… plant the seed and the shoot will sprout… and so it is with our children. We’re all attracted to fun, prosperity and glamour and green causes don’t always fit that bill. The green movement needs a rebrand, so how do we all help to make it cool? (Answers on a postcard please!) How about we start with our SPROUTS? As Whitney Housten sung: “I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way” (embrace the ear-worm of the day). They innately know right from wrong when informed about the world around them. Let’s guide them

to think critically about how corporates market and whether we need these products in our lives. If our poor sprouts knew that most domestic cleaners damaged our waterways and fish, they wouldn’t want us to use them. If they knew that in 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans, they would want us to eliminate plastics. If they knew the soap they use drives habitat destruction through deforestation, they would discern there’s nothing glamorous about using these products.

At School • Work with the school to share your ideas, or use a parent forum to discuss them and post them in the school newsletter. • Ask the school to have a policy to reduce plastic (it’s an increasing waste management issue for NZ schools, both in budgeting costs and littering). • Ask about Enviroschools (enviroschools.org.nz). Our lives are the result of our choices. Every choice can be simplified and when viewed collectively they make you green and green is the new cool. Words by Esther Whitehead (APP Co-Founder).

Just because other parents may not be talking about it, doesn’t mean you can’t. You’ll be surprised how many others want something better. Your suggestions to APP have highlighted these action points: At Home • Use less plastic in school lunches and generally. • State you don’t want a straw when ordering drinks. • Ask kids to come up with ideas and talk with their friends/ teachers. • Show children images of the amount of plastic in our oceans and how it affects bird life/ marine life.

An elderly man visits the doctor for a checkup. “Mr Smith, you’re in great shape” says the doctor. “How do you do it?” “Well” says Mr Smith “I don’t drink, I don’t smoke and the good Lord looks out for me.

WTF? Thorrablot (Þorrablót) In January many Icelanders celebrate the “feast of Thorri” and eat the world’s most disgusting food consisting of sour ram testicles, boiled sheep heads, blood pudding, liver sausage and fermented shark. In manuscripts from the middle ages the Thorri is depicted as a personification of winter. It is unclear how the feasts were celebrated back then but it seems that people had a huge party with much food and drink. Today, people in Iceland uphold the same customs by eating “traditional” food. In former times Icelanders used to salt, smoke, bury and or ferment their food for storage and it has become a delicacy to eat it today. To be able to eat Thorri food is also a sign of strength in modern Icelandic culture. 23

opinion

By TIM BUCKLEY

time for some steady-state thinking?

Queenstown’s experiencing a period of growth not seen since the last gold rush back in the 19th century. It’s little wonder our leaders are struggling to find solutions to housing, transport, wages or economic diversity - this is new territory for all of us... car stopped at the lights taking photos on his iPad). Instead of accelerating into the traffic, perhaps it’s time to pull over and take stock. Have a think about the journey and maybe even ask for directions. Kiwis are supposed to be good at coming up with new ideas or thinking outside the box, so here’s the challenge: How do we build a long-term, sustainable economy in the Southern Lakes where all the stakeholders get a fair go and the legacy is something to be proud of? The answer won’t be simple. It won’t suit everyone and it won’t happen overnight but unless we start asking the question and having a meaningful discussion nothing will change except the length of the queues and the price of the Kiwi dream. Like all gold rushes, this one can’t carry on forever. The goose is slowly being cooked and those golden eggs are in danger of being scrambled.

But maybe we’re asking the wrong questions. Maybe instead of asking how we manage this unprecedented growth, we should ask whether the growth is appropriate or even necessary. Is Queenstown full? Have we reached a point where the quality of the offering is being degraded - not just for the visitor but for the people who call this tiny alpine town home? What’s the long term outlook for everyone if we carry on expanding with no real plan? Is it fair that members of our community, our friends and loved-ones are forced to leave because rent is too high and wages are too low? Affordable housing is a discussion worth having but so is the one about a living wage. Coming up with a transport plan is also a good idea but not until you’ve decided where you want to go. Right now we’re at a crossroads (or more like a very complicated intersection with traffic lights, a roundabout, a zebra crossing and a holidaymaker in a hired 34

Behind the glitter

Miss Kola Gin owned the Cabaret at Gay Ski Week this year – The Source Sat down with her and got the skinny on going drag. What was it like the first time you dressed in drag? Dressing in drag the first time was interesting, well, if you call wrapping a sheet around you held together with pins interesting. Back when I started, drag wasn’t all that main stream like it is today so a lot of the look depended on what you could get your hands on. What was it like the first time you performed in drag? I’ve always been a performer in musicals - so this was a walk in the park. What I found hard was the fact

that I believe the performance starts once the hair and eye lashes are slapped on. It’s like an immediate change. The walk turns into a mince and the voice changes into more feminine slurs. Drag performance starts from the get go and I think sometimes I enjoy the off stage banter better than the actual show on stage. How did you choose your stage name? Well, first of all I didn’t choose it. I got called it and then I was stuck with it. There were three of us who used to

interview

What are some of the misconceptions that people might have about drag queens or about drag shows? 1. That we are transvestite or a cross dresser – those labels are for straight men, not drag queens or show girls. 2. We do have normal day jobs 3. Some think we are straight and do this for a job. DUH! 4. Most straight guys think we are after them! Really???????? What role does sexuality play in drag culture? Sexual puns are at the forefront of drag humour, so a lot. Everything we do is suggestive. A drag queen can change a normal conversation into an adult conversation instantly - it’s like it’s expected of us.

hang out, Fanta, Ribena and myself. I got lumped with it so added the GIN to make it more draggy. Any big tips for guys wanting to dress in drag for the first time? Get yourself a drag mother. Someone who has been doing it for more than three months who can show you the ropes. Don’t let normal girls do your makeup. Drag makeup is different than girl makeup. Shave… EVERYTHING!!! Is it better to ’tuck it in, or let it all hang out’? Depends on what you’re wearing really. If you are going to wear something tight then FFS tuck it in. Nothing worse than a 6’4” woman with a swollen labia walking around the streets.

Jazz rocks Having returned to NZ in 2015 after calling London home for over 20 years, what were some of the highlights and what do you miss most? Coming back to NZ is not a one-way ticket! I’ll be back there very soon. I miss my friends most of all and the museums and art galleries. I miss performing in amazing clubs like Ronnie Scott’s where people are quiet and appreciative and are knowledgeable about music. Though I am very blessed to play to great audiences in New Zealand. And for all those years in London, I dreamt of quiet, the beach and swimming in the sea - i.e. Auckland! What have you been working on musically since your return home? Where is your focus in terms of performing/writing/recording? I’m just keeping on keeping on and making records and music which means something to me and to the people I am collaborating with. That’s a very, very big question to answer and something very personal to me. I want to keep selling records and doing gigs too so that’s a kind of focus to get off my arse and get recording!! How evolved do you think local jazz is and is there still the same stigma about jazz? Music is music is music. You can’t magically make music to please the whole world. It has to mean something deep to the person who

NATHAN HAINES, ONE OF NEW ZEALAND’S LEADING JAZZ MUSICIANS , IS HEADING TO TOWN NEXT MONTH FOR THE 2016 QUEENSTOWN JAZZ FESTIVAL. THE SOURCE TRACKED HIM DOWN FOR A NATTER. Musically, how much more to you is there beyond jazz and what can the Queenstown audience expect from your performance in October? I’ve always loved music - music with soul, groove, feeling - black music - and jazz is just one representation of this (though a HUGE part of it). My thing for the last three decades has been combining my love of jazz harmony (or chord structures) with a solid beat. Not all the time but a lot of the stuff I made in the UK and the records which got me established internationally were made with this formula in mind. To answer the question of what can audiences expect, I always look forward to putting on a good show for the audience - we all love music and have been playing long enough to get around our instruments pretty well, so there will be no slouches in the technique department. But what REALLY matters most is the intent with which we play the music. We are all very blessed to have lives in music and I reflect on this everyday. Playing alongside my brother Joel is a great joy for me and as we both live busy lives we actually get to hang out and have fun! 42

“Music is music. You can’t magically make music to please the whole world”

makes it and if it’s made with the right attitude, perhaps you have the chance for the music to be heard by more than a few people. I have no problem with the word ‘jazz’ but music encompasses a million different art forms. To be defined or classified within a single genre is no good for anyone. If you want to talk genres I have made House/Drum and Bass/Hip-Hop/Jazz/Acid Jazz/NuJazz/No-Jazz. The jazz records I own and listen to a lot are true works of art. They elevate the spirit. For myself to be classified within the term ‘jazz’ - well I’m in bloody good company! I will spend the rest of my life endeavouring to make records that share the same spirit as my musical heroes. What are you listening to currently that’s inspiring you? The ocean. And any record that gets put on my 1968 Garrard 401 turntable. And that happens a lot as I have a lot of records and I buy a lot of records. I love vinyl. My last three albums have been released on vinyl as well. And last but supposedly not least, the mandatory Source question, what’s your favourite toast topping? It changes a lot but as I now have a 20 month old baby boy called Zoot who seems to like peanut butter on toast, I seem to be revisiting that old classic too. 43
