Modern Day Enz

Just to prove Split Enz had some global influence, here’s some Eddie Vedder (complete with original Enzer Tim Finn and his nephew’s band Betchadupa), doing an Enz classic. Young Liam sounds so much like his father (Neil Finn), it’s uncanny.

One Out Of The Bag

So I’m up late watching a music DVD I bought a couple weeks back and haven’t really had a chance to watch. It’s ‘One Out of the Bag’, the Split Enz reunion concert held in Melbourne last year.

If you’re interested in purchasing the DVD and you’re not in NZ, there’s an Amazon link right here.

Another Day, Another Offer

So we’re about to put another offer in on yet another place. We’re just not sure which of the 3 that weren’t filled with filth and cockroaches we’re going to do it on. Either way, this takes our total to 5.  That cardboard box – or if we want to get fancy, a double-wide in the trailer park opposite J’s work – are starting to look tempting.

J also got a response from the Consulate. They have our electronic file, but not the hard copy. They’re currently scheduling interviews for mid March.

To quote my husband, “Meh”.
