A recording of conversations and time spent with legendary New Zealand Typographer Joseph Churchward. Just spent time checking out his work, asking questions and getting to know such a great guy.

Sorry for the quality, and the Spongebob.

Lyrics:

Is there no end to this sick human greed
You’d probably never know with your nose stuck in a screen
Paper trail of ages, can’t see the woods for the trees
But I’ll be trying to spit my truth as I lay down 16’s

They’re the kinda things you see if you study non-fiction
Or when you stop to peer out into the world that you live in
My suspicion is the truth that we are all in competition
Definition of a prison is a man with no vision

If I’m mad that the PM feels he has to persist
You’re trying to tell me that child poverty doesn’t exist?
My politics is simple, please let me be clear: 
Key’s phoney flag is execution, but is missing the synthesis
Take your eyes off your screen and what you see is a timeline 
Your perspective is affected by who’s stuck in your limelight
And each day I worry less and less about ISIS
But what becomes of my people when the sea level rises

Food, clothes and water 
Stopped at the Greek border
People’s history short
Cos this was Europe in the 40’s
They broke up the Jungle with the threat of a bullet
Does history lie? It depends on who’s paid to tell it

Dallas Kinney won a Pulitzer Prize
For taking photos as he documented labourers lives
He showed us Black & White that slave conditions exist
A poignant reminder that this medieval mindset persists
Cos if your value to society is how much you make
You can accept it or reject it: your position to play
And when the Ballot Box means nothing to the youth of today
That’s when the demagogues like Trump they will come out and play
 
Once to every man comes a time to decide
In the strife to live_ for the good or evil side
For some great cause or opportunity in sight
And choice goes by forever, twixt that darkness and that light

Make Pablo Escuba Again Party Mixtape vol. I

I'm OK, You're Ok, and that's OK

Great Focus Group tonight. We had 7 people come, and it was great to hear their views. All were students, but from different backgrounds. Here’s what we talked about…

Focus Group Notes:

Better to pick a party you agree with
Would be much easier to understand politics without media bias
There is a poverty cycle of low education, including the subject of politics
Political language/jargon is too hard to understand
Need for civic education - what is MMP about?
Don’t want a quick fix solution
Kiwis are afraid to put opinions out there
Politics wasn’t discussed at home
Want to understand history
Most didn’t know where to start, it’s too complex
Relevant issues are ok, but people are interested in alot of things too
Politics is everything, not just government. It’s a societal thing.
Want to know the purpose of the policy

What would make politics more attractive for you?

Initiate understanding & interest 
Want to understand the spectrum of political ideologies
Convenience
Understand consequences, the cause & effects of policies
Political role models. Those in positions of influence need to speak out more.
Make politics articulated, concise. Otherwise it’s boring & irrelevant!
