The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed that there’s a new poster up (see the thumbnail over to your left a bit). Yes, the next 24 Hour Party People is confirmed for Easter Saturday, 22nd March at the San Francisco Bath House! From 9pm!

Now, with the vagaries of NZ licencing laws and our celebration of Easter, it so happens that the Bath House is the ONLY bar in town able to open past midnight on that Saturday night. No other bar can trade on Easter Sunday (from 12am). So I guess, if you’re out looking for a drink past midnight, I’m gonna see you one way or another!

Cheers,

Nice article in the Guardian about how specialised record stores are carving out a niche & staying alive here.

Big shout out to the fine folks at Wellington’s only independent record store that matters: Slow Boat!

I picked this up the other day, cos it looked rather familiar…

Hmmm, I like it actually, I’m almost flattered! Nice work, whoever did this, though Holger Czukay’s not a patch on Debbie Harry, and you spelt Popol Vuh wrong. Still, it looks a great night – I couldn’t make it along as I was catching up with a friend returning briefly from London, but if anyone went, let me know what it was like.
