It’s about stuff blowing up.

Yeah, well that's just insensitive and inappropriate.

I was being ironic, FTR. I mean if we're not used to it by now, we will be after the next two years of endless shire-bolical references.

The lead singer of the hives has a habit of this sort of thing, telling a crowd in Boston on Dec 5th (around eight months after the marathon bombings) that "this song’s for everyone in Boston. It’s about stuff blowing up. It’s called 'Tick Tick Boom."

I’m all for a bit of Tolkeinism and eagle-itarianism. I just thought the guy went on…

and on…

and on. As if he had more time to fill than songs to play. And I wanted to hear the songs, which were great, as you say.

It was the point I…

Retro hat vibe at Arcade Fire.

Incidentally, if Campbell Smith is reading this, where were all the coffee carts that once dotted the BDO, and provided that much-needed early evening pick-me-up?

The Hives were awesome. I think if we can't have a laugh at our national Tolkein infatuation we aren't much of a country.

I had my own grumble about MTV and their obstructionist practices. We had a good view of Pearl Jam from the terraces until they raised their platform and completely obscured it.

The Hives frontman had real issues with those balls. He was pretty keen for the crowd view of him not to obstructed (the dude is so rock n roll)

Tame Impala Balls

Heh! Nice balls.

Were they doing some sort of broadcast on MTV? I wondered when I took the above.

Also liked these mirror cubes.

Good thinking. Still, how amazing would it be if they could open up the lakeside? It’d be almost as good as Splore

I gather the view was that New Zealanders might take this as a challenge.

Old Mill Road letter box

One day we'll have to do a letterbox post. Seriously. :-)

I’d hoped that we could sit by the water and listen to the music.
In spite of the fence, this is close. :-)

They did actually hire in some surf lifesavers from Muriwai.

I meant to walk over and take a photo of the inflatable runabout. I was like 'what's…

I was a little disappointed that they'd fenced off the lake. From looking at the BDO map beforehand, I'd hoped that we could sit by the water and listen to the music. I guess they'd have to install security in the water to catch punters swimming into the BDO without…
