On 16 February, the salubrious date of my arrival on this mortal coil, Dan and I headed up to Auckland for a whistle-stop overnight trip to see Sonic Youth play 'Daydream Nation'. We spent the day catching up with Tanya and Jonathan and wee Felix, and pottering along K Road and Queen St before ferrying out to Devonport and then heading out to Takapuna where the gig was. Definitely glad we went, but the element of surprise was somewhat removed by the playing of the album in order. Have to say too that the tracks off their recent album that they played as an encore weren't quite as good, in my humble opinion.

Glad to see Wellingtonians still have the ability to visit a real "sun-drenched" city
