I wondered why the soundtrack for Hunt for the Wilderpeople sounded so familiar (but in a new sort of way), then I remembered this from back in the 80s:

I had no idea that xkcd had mouseover text.
I can't find any 'mouseover' action there – maybe it's invisible?

Meanwhile here's this to be going on with...

Wow! Best mouseover experience ever.

You obviously don't frequent xkcd.

The link is just to the right of the forecast (as you look at the screen)

Wow! Best mouseover experience ever. Those shadows moving....

also – I’m loving the Met Service’s city webcams for Auckland Wellington and Chchch – timelapse shots that ‘mousing over’ can animate – from dawn to realtime – you can watch the all the boats rise on the tide in the Viaduct harbour, and I’m sure one day I’ll spot…

Sad to miss Keuper in Chch. Saw some great gigs in Sydney in the late 80s – both stripped back, and with horns. Should be good shows.
Wilderpeople is a great romp. Looking forward to Tickled too – there was some talk of backers getting access to a stream?

Hopefully Wilderpeople and Tickled get some AUS distribution, we shall see I guess …

Both should find there way into at least some theatres in Aus... Keep your eyes peeled.

Central Auckland needs to be a hub. That’s how it works and inner city Auckland can be magnificent if planned properly. The intensity of a new throbbing isthmus needs to be optimised for the future of this strangely confused present soulless city. Historically music has pushed the vibrancy of the…

Auckland needs to make k road it’s music street. Like a south pacific sunset strip, so begging for cool venues. K road is our most musically perfect street. And when it has a station , look out.

I definitely agree.

And the return of Newton gully to residential – after…

Bloody hell!

And I’m sure you’ll have no shortage of things to do in NYC Russell, but if in East Village and strolling along 5th ave keep an eye out for Good Records

One thing I’ve been enjoying is this bloke Cortez’ jazz mix Niles (DL available):

Frankly, when Ed came here for the first time in years to support Television, he blew the academic New Yorkers off the stage.

He certainly did. Television played like they had to do it to get paid, not that interested. But sadly no solo concert for Ed in Chch -…
