NZ Music, indie Music, in fact always looking for new sounds. For others seeking new sounds, I'll try to post a NZ music track that I like each day. Also a nice classic car brings a smile.
And here's a band that Nick Harte was a member of...although not on this album
Jonathan Bree, Heather Mansfield and co. with some perfect twee pop
End Of The Runway...The Brunettes

Nick Harte exudes cool, somewhere between the shoegaze guitar buzz of My Bloody Valentine and a drawling Lou Reed. This song also reminds me a little of an Elevator To Hell song that I'll post here

Letterbox Lambs were a Wellington indie-pop band which briefly shined from mid 1990s to 2002. I have an EP and a couple of CDs, and I think that may well be all they put out.

So more expensive than the larger iReX ferries ($550 to $596b) then. We no longer have any future proofing and are the port facilities going to be upgraded? My guess is when it's needed those upgrades will cost more too
