Paul's Links                              These links may appeal to you if you're interested in making, releasing or buying music. The first two are sites of mine that are dedicated to New Zealand music, so once you make it past them, there's no more of that here.

Teledu Records The continuation of a record and clothing store called Pretty on the Inside which my friend Amanda and I ran in Palmerston North, New Zealand for six years. The shop closed in February 1999 and I moved to Melbourne, Australia in March 2000 but lives on as Teledu Records, an online mail order catalogue stocking independent music.
 
Unearth Links to as many things to do with independent NZ music as I could find. It covers music that I am particularly fond of, with a tendency towards improvisation.
   
King Records WW Lots of NZ (and quite a few from elsewhere) artists release music with the kind help of King Records Worldwide who cut records individually on acetate using a lathe.
There is no King Records website or e-mail address, but Peter King is a lovely guy and you can contact him at 35 Comyns St, Mount Somers, RD 1, Ashburton, New Zealand (ph/fax +64-3-3039755).
