Exploring the world of NZ On Air music video funding

I’ve set myself the challenge of watching every music video made as part of NZ On Air's $5000 music video funding scheme from 1991 to 2011.

AKA Brown was Sam Feo of the Semi MCs teamed with the mighty Chong-Nee. “Tonight is Yours”is an ultra smooth R&B jam that sounds about five years ahead of its time. Annie Crummer has “I Come Alive”, another single off her “Seventh Wave” album. Bailter Space returned with the album “Capsul” and the single “Pass...

Missing videos from June 1996

I’m still mourning the recent loss of Annie Crummer‘s videos. “U Soul Me” was another single from her second solo album. Bike‘s first single, “Save My Life”, is afforded digital immortality due to its inclusion on the Flying Nun “Very Short Films” compilation, but second single “Old and Blue” isn’t so lucky. The Film Archive...

The Film Archive vaults contain the video for Second Child‘s “Desire You”, a song NZOA described as a “blistering blast of melodic, guitar-driven rock”. Teina was nicknamed “the bard of Otara” and his song “Gone Fishing” had guest vocals from Teremoana Rapley. Cinematic‘s song “See You Round” is a pleasant Smithsian song with some good...

Annie Crummer “Let it Shine”

It’s a Christmas single! Interesting that the funding was given in the same month as the song was released. The video must have been made with lightning pace, right? “Let it Shine” is a delicate Christmas song, with the same sentimental theme that Annie’s other singles had (for the children, y’all). The video is black...

Annie Crummer delivers “Seven Waters”, sounding a little bit country and a little bit Polynesian. The influence of the Red Hot Chili Peppers continues, with Emulsifier‘s “Get On Up”. Ted Brown continues his videolessness with “If You Ever Need”. I have a vague memory of the band called Thorn, but nothing of their song “Same...

Annie Crummer “See Forever”

This video has everything I thought the “See What Love Can Do” video should have had – children, a pregnant lady, Annie at a church pulpit, and a great big gospel choir. I’d like to go to a staid Anglican church only to discover the vicar had been replaced by Annie Crummer. She’s wearing a...

I listened to the 30 second preview of Al Hunter‘s song “I Don’t Want to go to Work Today” on iTunes. To summarise: Al doesn’t want to go to work. He’d rather stowaway on a cruise ship and laze around by the pool. “Language”, Annie Crummer‘s ode to Pacific languages and/or love is liked enough...

Annie Crummer “See What Love Can Do”

Before Annie Crummer was vamping it up as the Killer Queen in the Australian production of “We Will Rock You”, she presented a softer, gentler side with “See What Love Can Do”, the first single from her debut solo album. Just to prove how ’90s it is, not only is she wearing a peasant blouse,...
