    • SEPTEMBER
      • Howdy, y’all! Well, without wishing to jinx it, it was a pretty mild Winter, all things considered, and Spring, it was seem, has, um, sprung?! HEAPS of new stuff instore – tee shirts, posters, DVDs, NOT TO MENTION some fantastic new LPs and CDs from (here we go)… Taylor Swift (a real return to form!), Lloyd Cole, Thom Yorke, Lizzo, Ride, Peter Perrett, Purple Pilgrims, PP Arnold, Lana Del Rey… we are also digging the latest Ace Records compilation of cheery 90’s hip hop entitled “The Daisy Age”, featuring De La Soul, Brand Nubian, Queen Latifah, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien and heaps more – recommended!! We have also just taken delivery of EIGHT(!!!) boxes of terrific new LPs from the US, featuring many deleted and hard-to-find titles from a-Ha, Roy Ayers, The Beach Boys, Nine Inch Nails, King Crimson, Fugazi, The Proclaimers, Rammstein, , REM, Parquet Courts, Public Enemy, Lou Reed, Elton John, The Jesus & Mary Chain… I could go on, but perhaps best if you come and take a look for yourself – will have them out by the weekend! Also out this Friday – the brand spankin’ new release from one of the stars of last year’s Slow Boat Record Store Day event – Mermaidens, with their new album “Look Me In The Eye” – CD and lovely coloured vinyl… Also, a reminder that we place a US import order every 2-3 weeks, and there are a huge array of titles available – be warned that our falling exchange rate against the US has rendered some stuff on the pricy side… and that it will be Christmas before you/ we know it – have a think about it now and get real organised ahead of Festivus?!? We are here to help you look as kindly and generous as possible… Wishing everybody a happy and prosperous Spring – new beginnings, and all that – catch you all soon!! XX The Slow Boat Crew XX

    • Hard work keeps rail improvements on track
      • Metlink is showing its gratitude to Kiwirail and its passengers for their patience, while work went ahead on the Wellington rail network over Summer. Daran Ponter, Greater Wellington Council Chair, said Kiwirail should be proud of its efforts to improve the network’s safety, performance, and sustainability. “I’d like to thank those who worked so diligently on the network during a time when the majority of us were enjoying a break from work,” Ponter said. “I hope they take satisfaction from knowing that commuters will reap the benefits of their hard work now and in the future.” On Boxing Day, work started at Plimmerton Station to build an additional platform, realign the tracks, and enhance safety measures at Steyne and Pascoe Avenue level crossings.

    • Pauatahanui Public Burial Ground Trust Deed
      • The renovation of Pataka Museum’s storage area in 2017 brought to light two documents that are probably the oldest existing paper records of early Porirua. In 1856 the village of Pahautanui (now called Pauatahanui) was the only settlement in the Porirua area. Thomas Hollis Stace, who had arrived with his family from Tasmania in 1853, bought a piece of land on the southern edge of the village. He saw that the village lacked a school, church and cemetery; so he donated an acre of his land to help fill these gaps. The details of this generous gift were set down on two sheets of parchment on 6 December 1856, and it is this 161-year-old Trust Deed that has emerged from the Pataka storeroom.

    • A trip to the Empire above Pae Kawakawa
      • Last Sunday my family found ourselves unexpectedly home early from a class noho marae. So we ended up doing a cycling trip to the Empire Cinema in Island Bay to see Encanto Reo Māori. Because the cycleway connection in Berhampore is only half built, we took a short-cut from our home in Berhampore to get to the Parade. The kids were very keen, as they always are, to get their “bikes on the road.” These streets from Adelaide Road in Berhampore to the Parade in Island Bay, Tapu te Ranga, are another group of city streets built above waterways. The Pae Kawakawa stream starts near Macalister Park and runs along these roads with feeder streams in Mornington and Southgate as well.

    • Fat Freddy's Drop
      • So, Simon Sweetman's live review of Fat Freddy's Drop (he really, really didn't like them) seems to have touched a nerve amongst some in the Wellington music scene. A few (actually, quite a lot) have come out in support of Sweetman - says Josef... the perfect music for the iPod generation who wouldn't know good music if it bit them in the ass. And Hugh...

    • A City for People
      • Decades of inaction have meant house prices are out of control, while old rental properties rot out from underneath us. A whole generation of people are at risk of being forced out from the central city into new suburbs sprawling north, spending hours every day in traffic jams. We believe the Spatial Plan will allow Wellington to plan for the future so that new generations of Wellingtonians can share the city we love, and have a chance to live in a home that is affordable, accessible, healthy and warm.
