The Mutton Birds – A Thing Well Made

Dave — Thu, 20 May 2010 04:58:33 +0000

“The Mutton Birds refer obliquely to the massacre in the song A Thing Well Made on their self-titled debut album. The song is narrated by a man who owns a sporting goods store in Christchurch. As the song closes he describes his work for the day, which involves sending “one of those AK-47s for some collector down the line.” – Aramoana massacre [en.wikipedia.org]

Out Of The Blue: “The movie about the 1990 massacre that rocked New Zealand is a restrained, sad, moral tale of a small South Island beach community where everyone knew one another by their first names – even their killer.” – The spirit of Aramoana [listener.co.nz]

This live video of The Mutton Birds performing ‘A Thing Well Made’ is moving but two things in particular that move me:

2003 David Foster Wallace interview for German TV

Dave — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 06:08:09 +0000

Terrific full-length version of an interview David Foster Wallace did in the USA with (I think) a German TV program in 2003. It is 84 minutes long but I really recommend watching this right the way through. I think this guy was on to it on a number of levels.
