Bei Kai Viti
The Bai Kei Viti (BKV, sometimes known in English as Protector of Fiji, or Fortress for the People of Fiji), was a political party in Fiji.
The party was formed by residents and some chiefs of Ba Province to contest the 1999 elections, but failed to win any seats in the House of Representatives. Following the coup d'état which deposed the elected government of Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry in 2000, the BKV contested the election held to restore democracy in 2001. This time, they had former interim Prime Minister Ratu Tevita Momoedonu (a defector from the Fiji Labour Party) as their leader, but once again, they won no seats, though they received 2.2 percent of the popular vote.
In 2004 the BKV merged with the Party of National Unity (PANU), also a Ba-based party, to form the People's National Party (PNP) under the leadership of former Cabinet Minister Meli Bogileka, and was officially deregistered on 14 August 2005. Bogileka declared that officials from the two parties wanted Ba Province to have a single party to represent their interests at the parliamentary election scheduled for 2006.

Bigfoot
by: WeakerthansI changed the oils and oiled the squeaks
Patched the holes and fluid leaks
Left dust beneath a diabetic moon
And way to take the TV crews
Across the creaking ice
The news is howling
To the timber wolves and soon
I'll go through it all again
Watch their doubtful smiles begin
But the visions that I see believe in me
So praise the things I can't forget
With burgers and a silhouette
On t-shirts at the council general store
I'll listen to the south winds sigh
With rumors and regrets
And I don't wanna talk about it anymore
Won't go through it all again
Watch their doubtful smiles begin
When the visions that I see believe in me
Or the visions that I see
