Hard News: Friday Music: Festival of Non-Dudeyness, in reply to Russell Brown,
Pretty much zilch, but was an interesting collection with songs related to the film--even Taylor Swift!

I don't really understand all this hating on David Cunliffe and the parroting of what various know-nothings in the media have declared about him.
