Three sleeps ’til Melbourne

The Big T’s work in Melbourne is continuing so I’m going to join him for a few days. It’s been too long since I visited my favourite Australian city and I’m looking forward to shopping, galleries, catching up with friends, eating far too much, and spending time with the Big T.

I know the Australians amongst you will take exception to my choice for Kiwi Music Month today. Yes, Crowded House formed and was based in Melbourne, and had a majority of Australian members — it’s an Aussie band. But while this song may have been written about Melbourne, it was penned by a couple of boys from Te Awamutu.

Four Seasons in One Day (Neil Finn, Tim Finn) is from Crowded House‘s 1991 album, Woodface.
