BEST SONG WRITER



[frankiemartinijnr]

I can't believe this guy couldn't remember the lyrics to his own song. What's the story with a music stand??? That's just plain slack!

[TheRangers66]

@frankiemartinijnr he was sick that a stoke

[necoleaustin]

great song, bummer he's wearing ugly shorts

[blairomatic]

I can't remember this ABC show. Must have only lasted a year or two.

If I was watching TV late at night back in these days and Chris Knox came on I'd saviour every second.

The host is from the Fauves. Good band.

[mddawson1]

@blairomatic It was on saturday mornings from 1996 to 2000 and usually hosted by Dylan Lewis.

[ancook58]

there is a wonderful compilation album of american indie bands called "not given lightly" of covers of new zealand bands. its amazing. 

[Astavaz]

This songs been in my head for such a long time! Luv you!

I love the part where his guitar breaks and he sings it by himself! XD

What a dude...A True Kiwi

[Grimmancer]

[Havencheese]

Chris Knox just does what most folks think they should do, but usually don't do. He's fucking amazing.

[tkmat]

honestly, this man is my musical hero

[scaasi]

Awesome, that's what you do when it all goes wrong, you just carry on!(And take photos)

Hope you're mending well Chris, NZ music woudnt've been the same without your input.

[sleezymany]

[EnnaVic]

Thinking about you and your family Chris. Hope you improve steadily. Kia kaha!

[fairykelly]

Get well soon Chris *hugs*

[brucehoult]

Get well soon, Chris.

[mddawson1]

Thanks I had not realised he was sick. Hope he has a full recovery, we need his musical view on the world more than ever.

[OjohYou]

@mddawson1 he had a stroke unfortunately. There was a tribute album for him called stroke which is people doing covers of his songs. Worth it for boh runga singing "not given lightly"

[mddawson1]

@OjohYou Wikipedia says the following good news: "Despite the stroke Chris is working on a new Tall Dwarfs album, which will feature singing but no words"

[OjohYou]

@mddawson1 Yeah I saw that. I wasn't sure what they meant by that

[crazedbirdy9]

@OjohYou do you know if I can find a video of her singing it somewhere?? I want to show a couple of overseas friends, but can't find her version :(

[RaulReaction]

this guy is a fuckin genious.. fuck

[CRAWBURGER]

Knox ain't nearly as clever as he thinks he is...the guy presents as 'righton' (Zaoui/woman inside of me/Samoan tattoo him and his 'severe' wife sport)yet in his 'article' in NZ Listener he refers to Northern Irish catholics as 'papists'....hahaha Ian Paisley could'nt have put it better...give up

[shinasarah]

LA musqiue de Hartley Coeur à vif .. que de souvenirs ..!

[mangojimmy]

wow...I really wasn't expecting that!

what a performer.

[SATANICDRIFTER]

hey knox rules!! any one know where i can download this song????

[mddawson1]

You can buy his CD from SmokeCDs dot com

[Benya18]

Whos the hater who gave you a thumbs down dude? What a fucker lol, why bother hating?

[pierrotito]

HA HA, Great !

[mickyj300x]

Thank you so much for this!

[mantra3000]

Boy, the host is really brilliant.

[julianchosun]

Haa haa... Poor/Lucky guy in the front row - He was Knoxified!

Great performance. Broken strings can't hold a true performing back for long.

...Pity about the awkward host guy; though he did well to back up spontaneously after the string went.

Hah. Typically and appropriately quirky taste of TDs history. Glad to find it!

[FastEddieNelson]

Chris rules...

[paulcapewell]

Brilliant! Thanks so much for uploading this :)
