Back in the USA its last night, and the Smith Westerns are about to play the Coachella music festival in Indio California. At the moment New Order are on stage playing Atmosphere as an encore. Live on Youtube of course.

All apropos because I am thinking of going to a gig on Thursday. Some of the Christchurch band, T54, have morphed into
It’s a groovy jangly sound and someone from the band (Joe??) even messaged me on Facebook to invite me along. Russell Brown and I have both sent them some hard earned cash.
