A happy-go-lucky English rambler dude goes to New Zealand for a year. Here he interfaces with some of those he left behind and details his nefarious activities. Or summat.

Genius is a very over-used adjective these days, but i suspect that Wayne Coyne, lead singer of the Flaming Lips is indeed a genius of some kind. I've just got back from seeing them play at Rock City, and my face is still hurting from the stupid grin that i've been wearing all night.
I would write more about them now, but i can't remember the last time i had more that 5 hours sleep before going to work, so i really must go to bed asap.
The Flaming Lips recently. Yes that is a dry ice machine he's wielding. And yes that is a megaphone he's singing through. And yes that is fake blood and confetti he's covered in.
I'll just leave you with the Band Line up from tonights gig, to give you a flavour of what was going on on-stage:
Wayne Coyne - Lead vocals, Nun puppet operator, Balloon distributor, Confetti thrower, Lamp twirler, Dry ice sprayer, Fake blood squirter and back-up hand held spotlight operator.
Pink Rabbit 1 - Drums, Backing Balloon distribution
Pink Rabbit 2 - Lead guitar, Backing Vocals & Balloon distribution
White Rabbits 1 & 2 - Lead Hand held spotlight operators
Zebra - Bass
Santa Claus - Keyboards
Tiger - Dancing & vibes
