Well Ange & I arrived in Auckland today at about 4pm NZ time, without having booked accomodation. Took us ages at the airport to find somewhere, but we’re right in the city, and there are a couple of FREE broadband terminals here. Cool. So what to do at 1:26am but write a blog entry?

Tonight, we saw DJ Shadow playing live at the St James thingummy in Auckland. What a fucking awesome show! I do mean live - although a lot of it was off CDs/backing tape or was DJ’d, he actually did play bits straight off his MPC sampler, which was hooked up to some laptops showing visuals too. A lot of fun, although I had the sneaking feeling that at least at times what was presented as live wasn’t really… Still, a fantastic set, all his own material re-worked, very very nice.

It is now way too late and we are going to bed. Tomorrow, Auckland during the day and then we fly to Wellington at 5pm. We’re then driving back up after a couple of days, so will have a little more time here before we fly to Melbourne. No doubt more blogging will occur! :)
