The Australian Grand Prix; A review from a fan
Rating: +3 I flew to Melbourne last week to watch the 2026 f1 season opener in person, so here is my review of how it was run, and what they could improve on next time. The track was busiest for qualifying and race day, and most people caught the tram or walked to/from the city each day, […]
YouTube live Concerts
Are you too broke to go to live concerts? Do you live in an island nation that your favourite artist won’t ever come to? Or maybe they came to Aotearoa, but now it’s over and the post-concert depression is hitting too hard? Let me introduce you to the world of YouTube live concerts. Music is at its most impactful when its live. When […]
Who are we? What do we do? What is the deal? How do you get involved?
Nexus Soundcheck is the heart and soul of music journalism in Kirikiriroa. We want to be at every gig, reviewing every newly released album, and interviewing the best and most promising local talent.

Tikanga: Does It Evolve in a Modern World?
A question I heard recently has been sitting with me: can tikanga evolve in a modern world? It came up during a kōrero between a group of tauira, and it sparked a lot of reflection for me about what I’ve been taught and how I understand tikanga today. For many people, tikanga is seen as something fixed in […]
Resident Evil Requiem
Ok gang, let’s talk about Resident Evil Requiem. For starters, I’m a big fan of Capcom and have been playing their games for about 8 years now. I was first introduced to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, and my initial reaction when I started playing it was something along the lines of “what the fuck?” and […]
Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour (5/5)
There are no words to describe this event. I genuinely fked myself going to this concert because after this there won’t be any better concert to go to. Benito is a great guy, one of the best people alive, but he fked my life and left me in an existential void. It was an amazing show, the best of the best. […]
? By Bassvictim.
Propelled to the forefront of the whole electroclash/knitted sweater/no-its-not-indie-sleaze-dont-call-it-that London/New York “scene” with their two 2025 albums Basspunk 2 and Forever, Bassvictim’s Ike Clatman and Maria Monrow have had an open messiness to their image that lands somewhere between Pete Doherty with Kate Moss and the Instagram stories of that highschool couple you’re sort of worried about. Although no longer living together, the […]

Random Audit – STGM202
I’m generally not a business or management person, mainly because I don’t like maths besides statistics and I’m bad with money, but for the sake of a random audit I decided to watch a second year strategic management lecture. The lecture started off with the general admin stuff at the overall course outline. This was of no interest to me, but it was good to see the general direction […]
Horoscopes – 16/03/26
Aries- Instead of being a fire sign, try putting the “air” in Aries and fucking relax (and play golf with a Taurus). Taurus- I see a new friend in your future. It’s very important that you become completely codependent and play golf every weekend. What, who said that? Gemini- You’ll feel the urge to forgive all the people who haven’t actually wronged you that bad; it’s important you give into that urge. It’s gonna make […]
