Places I Would Like To Be Today
Today I would like to be in Christchurch, as it is a public holiday, eating an ice cream in the Botanic Gardens.
Tonight I would go and listen to The Bats playing at Christchurch Polytechnic.
Still one of the best bands of all time. Their Bass sound epitomises all that is great about Flying Nun and New Zealand music.
They have a new album out as well called Free all the Monsters.
