Happy 10th birthday Christchurch Art Gallery!!!

To celebrate their tin anniversary you will find some ginormous tin men (huge gnomes) outside the gallery entrance on Worcester Boulevard. There’s also a big marquee set up on the High Street / Tuam Street corner outside C1 with all sort of events happening this weekend to launch Populate! – the tenth-birthday programme of art round the city. Details about the weekend festivities here!

And not to be outdone Christchurch City Libraries have made the Freegal service available to library members. Three free legit MP3 downloads a week from the Sony catalogue! Wonder if they’ve got any Freegal Sharkey?

…and onto our shoulder.

Apologies for the variable sound quality of today’s show. And by that we’re not just referring to the off-mic coughing fits, which we did attempt to suppress with Monkey Shoulder Whisky.

The show: Old acquaintances and new friends

As promised, today we played tracks from some old acquaintances such as …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead (didn’t realise they’d been around since 1993! but they were one of the first bands we played on The Joint when we started the show way back in 2001), Fujiya & Miyagi, and Destroyer. But even I wasn’t expecting The Herb Whisperer to play Wang Chung / Huang Chung!!!

We weren’t kidding about Rastamouse either.
