Lyttelton locals...

It's an easy slip to make, especially for those with childhood memories of taking the train through the tunnel:

Playing this Sunday night in Dunedin with Lindon Puffin. Possibly their first post-earthquake visit, also their first since they did the post-quake fundraiser and their new double album. Fantastic live band.

The song above isn't one of their good ones. This is better:

Irrational, perhaps, but totally exquisitely human.

Tomorrow is looming even though I’m trying hard to keep it all in perspective. I mean, do earthquakes follow the Gregorian calendar?

No,…

I doubt they even follow the rugby.

No, it wasn’t: thanks to Vincent Burke at Top Shelf and Philippa Mossman at TVNZ, who swiftly agreed to make it so.

But it isn’t standard practice for TVNZ to give whole programs to NZ On Screen, so it was very pleasing.
