The Weatherston Case
Just watched the documentary. This whole story just makes my flesh creep.
Clayton Weatherston appears still to not know what he has done. Dear god, what a heinous crime, this is up there with the worst NZ has seen. He simply has to have known he was killing her, yet he carried on. The Bain family, the Aramoana and Raurimu killing sprees- pretty sure those killers 'flipped' and never came back. Weatherston did and then proceeded to rape the memory of his victim by media at his trial. And still he seems not to accept his tremendous failings.
Its straight out of a Jeffrey Deaver novel.
The Otago Daily Times today ran perhaps the most effective story on this whole terrible saga that I have seen. A compelling narrative, please read this
Rest in peace Sophie Elliot. Apparently her economics thesis was outstanding- its getting published all over the place now. So sad she couldn't celebrate that.

Hotel Checks Out
I'd say somewhere, somehow, an engineer/ hotel builder is feeling a bit guilty....
At least the neighbours have thier waterfront view back.
Reportedly no one was was hurt, not every day a typhoon nails an entire hotel!

Pearl Jam are on the way
I know where I want to be on November 29....
Pearl Jam were one of my first great musical obsessions.
They have always played unbridled rock, and they've done if with a sense of fun. Thats the key element that has seen them be the only survivors of the early 90's "Grunge" era. Rising from the ashes of the tragic Mother Love Bone saga (Apple is one of the greatest albums ever made, rest in peace Andy Wood), Pearl Jam represent what classic rock music should look like.
New album next month and a full tour of NZ and Oz coming up, I cannot wait. From Ed Vedders haunting voice to Mike McCready's freestyle guitar solo's these guys are a must see. Their mid 1990's set in Auckland is one of the best gigs I've seen- I wonder if the Finn Brothers will join them for a Split Enz encore again?
Heres a taste of what the fuss is about, the band were understandably nervous after crowd problems and a death at an earlier festival, but its a great version of one of their best tracks, Corduroy from the Vitalogy CD.
