Yesterdaze: Tough on grease, strong on gangs

Simon Bridges has ditched the greased-up look for a Trump-type bouffant, and that's not the only Trumpian tack he's taking. James Elliott on the news of the week. My recommended read of the week was a piece by broadcaster-turned-lawyer Linda Clark, published here at Newsroom. It was a plea for the continued civility, relatively speaking, in New Zealand’s public discourse. It comes at a time when politics around the world has become infected with division, anger and tribalism, the symptoms of a “polarising virus” that began with patient zero, Donald Trump.   As New Zealand starts to look ahead to a general election in 2020, Linda makes a reasonable request as to how we should respond to the political positioning and posturing that lies ahead:     “If it looks even a bit like Trump, or if it sounds even a bit like something Trump would say, press delete.”   Enter Simon Bridges and National’s new law and order policy – tough on the worst youth offenders, tough on murderers and especially tough on gangs.

Jacob Collier – “Time Alone With You” (Feat. Daniel Caesar)

Jacob Collier is one of those blokes who's been around for years and years, building steam outside the critical conversation, forging relationships across the music industry. He first came to fame as a North London teenager posting splitscreen covers on YouTube in 2012. Now 25, he's become the kind of unstoppable force who can tour the world behind a four-part, 50-song album he's releasing over the course of two or three years. That project is called Djesse, and today — on the heels of contributing to Coldplay's Everyday Life — he's beginning to roll out the third volume. The four volumes of Djesse supposedly represent the four phases of the day. They present Collier's omnivorous ethos, which brings together elements of classical, funk, jazz, folk, soul, hip-hop, and alternative rock among other traditions. He really goes out of his way to cast a wide net, but not at the expense of coherence. Vol. 1, released last December, involved contributions from Laura Mvula, Voces8, Hamid El
