This whole interview gives vibes of siblings arguing around the dinner table… mostly done on purpose for laughs -except I think the banter between Eddie and Neil after Noel tells his story at 3:38 actually was impromptu.
Sending letters to my frenz telling them all about Split Ends.
I cannot believe that it has been a decade since I discovered this band. At first, thirteen year old me was slightly apprehensive of the bright colours and flamboyant attire; however, my Dad’s 30th Anniversary CD soon spun in constant rotation in my Hello Kitty CD player. Split Enz has been an unwavering companion for me throughout my adolescent years, guiding me through some difficult and positive times. They led me to one of my dearest friends; inspiring trips to New Zealand to spend time with her.
I will forever be grateful for Split Enz for not shying away from expressing their individuality and authenticity; characteristics that I strive to embed into all aspects of my own life.
Amid all the chaos in this music video, I feel like Neil’s dance moves and Paul’s comedically exaggerated run toward the camera is a whole mood on its own

“Zines“, presented by Hester Harrington,…
The crucifixion of Jesus Christ, as interpreted by Paul and later incorporated in the Passion narratives of the Gospels, became an image of hope precisely because it gave such complete expression to despair. The brutal death of one taken to be the Messiah, a defeat that included his being abandoned by his most cherished and committed followers, would not have been enough to brace the religious imaginations of believers through their own brutal deaths. The awful fate of Jesus on the cross had to be the fate chosen for him by God. Only then could the abject failure itself be transformed. Among followers of Jesus, remembering his last words as "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?" –the felt experience of God's murderous absence, which reaches to the religious heart of the human mortality– would not undercut the faith but prompt it. By sacralizing the profane cross in this way, Paul gave Rome an unprecedented problem: How do you defeat a movement who defines defeat as victory?
