• Tom at WellUrban has an excellent scheme for sprucing up the rather ugly concrete bases that support the various verandah columns down Cuba Street.
• Fleet FM - started (and increasingly popular) in Auckland, is a low-power FM station run by music enthusiasts that is now up and running in Wellington on 107.3Fm. Good music, recommended.
• Wellington bands Phoenix Foundation, Shihad and Fat Freddy's Drop are three of the five bands nominated for this years NZ Music Awards Best Album Award. (The Phoenix Foundation's Buda talks about the making of their album Pegasus in a recent inteview over at Salient). Other Welly acts and people up for gongs include Brooke Fraser, Audiosauce and Trinityroots.
