One of the reasons I live in Auckland...

...is all the best bands come here. mainfisch might be interested to know that Damo Suzuki played a local bar last night. It was badly advertised, since I didn't know until I was actually drinking in said bar and this odd Japanese-looking guy with long hair sat down at the next table.

And darthsappho might want to consider coming up here on March 10th to see Weird Al Yankovic. And then two days after that, the Mars Volta are playing.

Dumbest thing ever written

Cyfswatch, whose authors have always remained anonymous, issued a statement today saying Google's action was "a breathtaking display of socialist censorship".

??? Unless Google was nationalised sometime in the last few days and no-one told me, surely this is just a noble capitalist exercise of property rights?
