Throng

Does anyone know the name of the song that is played in the new Prime: 50 Years Of Television ad?  It starts with Doctor Who and then shows a clip from SGU and so on.  The lyrics I remember are:

Drifting out in space, Dry your eyes and fix your face, Nothing left to fear but the truth dear

Is anyone else looking for this song?

Help would be much appreciated!!!

update: The song is called Stars by Jay Price and you can get it here:

Check out this awesome mashup of 2009's top 25 songs in a single song.

A rare look behind the scenes as Neil Finn brings Johnny Marr, Wilco and other top musicians and their families to New Zealand to ambitiously record an album of 30 songs in three weeks to fundraise for Oxfam.

Seven years ago, Neil Finn called on a very special group of musical friends. They came from all around the world and converged on Auckland, New Zealand. Over a short few days in 2001, they formed a band and rehearsed a lengthy set, taking it to the stage of Auckland's St James Theatre for a series of five incredible shows under the banner Seven Worlds Collide.

To celebrate NZ Music Month, this May C4 is embarking on a search to uncover The Nations Favourite (NZ) Song!

The success of NZ songs are celebrated in a number of ways - last year Opshop's "One Day" was awarded both the prestigious Silver Scroll and Single of the Year at the NZ Music Awards.  This week Smashproof broke a 23 year record by sitting at the top of the chart for 10 weeks with the single "Brother", the song sits in a kiwi flavoured chart - 25% of this weeks Top 20 are NZ songs.   In 2001, to celebrate 75 years of existence - APRA members voted "Nature" by Fourmyula as the top song of all time whilst OMC's "How Bizarre" remains the biggest selling NZ record of all time.

BUT, sales measures and industry accolades aside - what does the Nation really think?  This NZ Music Month, the nation will decide.

Triangle and Stratos TV bring back iconic Eurovision Song Contest

The show that gave the world ABBA, Celine Dion, Cliff Richards, Julio Iglesias and even Riverdance is about to hit New Zealand television screens again in May.

The Eurovision Song Contest is viewed each year by more than 100 million people throughout the world. Now it is returning to New Zealand screens thanks to the canny courting of the European Broadcasting Union by a Kiwi TV doyen.

Eurovision 2009 will screen in NZ on May 17 this year thanks to Stratos/Triangle.

It's the first time to screen here in 30 years!

Can't wait!!

Last night's Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards demonstrated that interest in our local music scene is stronger than ever!

With thousands of fans packing out Vector Arena - interest was also high in living rooms around the country with 50% more people than last year watching C4's broadcast of the show.

440,600 viewers tuned in last night to watch the 2 hour live show on C4 - equating to 11.2% of the total 5+ population.

The audience reach in C4's key demographic of 15-39 was 168,500 people or 11.5%.

This is a great result for C4 - and for the awards themselves.

It is the fifth year in a row that C4 has brought the awards to television.

A repeat of the show, hosted by Dai Henwood, will screen this Friday at 10.30pm on TV3.
