Hard News: Friday Music: Wild in the…, in reply to Mike O'Connell,
Alas, I was too young for the Mollet Street scene by a couple of years.
Yeah, me too. I just started being able to go to gigs after that era.

Laneway is on Monday 26th, not Friday 30th.
http://auckland.lanewayfestival.com/Sigh, of course it is. Thanks for pointing that out.
In my defence, it was late last night when I added that bit, and there had been wine.

Hard News: Works in progress, in reply to Myles Thomas,
All this money and effort is admirable but we really really need a solution at Newton road. The cycle path should really continue into town beside the motorways, thru grafton gully and also under K rd down to freemans bay.
As sweet as it would be, I don't think a direct connection from the SH16 cycleway to Graftton Gully is realistic -- it would involve an ambitious new motorway bridge, solely for cycles. But the option shown in the Transport Blog post that Sacha linked to -- going under the Newton Road overpass and connecting with a new cycle lane on Ian McKinnon Drive -- seems eminently doable. That still leaves a climb up to Queen Street, but at least you only have to do it once.

I’m not sure how you think it could go under K Rd to Freemans bay. A tunnel?
Under the overbridge! There has been some talk about that.

The sudden stop at Lincoln Road is a bit of a shock, hopefully some cycle friendly ways through this intersection will be coming soon.
Ironically, there's a path rightwards across the overbridge to the other side of the motorway. Where it promptly ends. Hopefully good for someone working at the businesses over there.

The Iggy clip appears to have a young Jane Clifton next to the man close-upped at the end. Or mebbe not.
It does look like her next to Roger Gascoigne.

One correction. Woodcock is on 14 February near Tauranga. Valentine’s Day. <q>
D'oh! Well, I was only a month out. Fixed now.
<q>My band Gold Medal Famous is one of the Top 10 Bands to Avoid at Woodcock 2015.
Congrats!

I think you mean 1980’s, not 1980? Specifically 1988
Gah! Yes. I meant 1988, brilliant year that it was for me.

I just tweeted this, but realised Twitter was probably the shittest place to put it right now and deleted the tweet.
Amid all the Charlie Hebdo talk about offence and expression, I think Home Brew's 'Good God' is an interesting thing to look at in a domestic context. It's extremely offensive, but also purposeful, intelligent and angry:

That makes me feel so fucking old!
I know, right?
