I like it when it snows, and it is snowing right now. Perfect. Christchurch is a place where snow is rear, maybe once a year or so. Hence why I get excited when it does. Christchurch is a pretty good place to live, it is very close to lots of amazing places to visit, and there are some quality people around, if you can get past the majority of jerks. In even smaller quantities are people who are really interested in new and original music, namely indie music, but also whatever the flavor of the month might be (which is under the umbrella of indie).
One such aficionado goes under the guise of Mount Pleasant Music. The purpose is clear, get the Christchurch scene to look less like a myspace emo band page, (re: a band with guitars and bass and drums which sound alright apart from the constant mistakes, until the singer starts and any illusions the music made are swept away in a whine that would make a young teenage boy's first girlfriend sound like welcome home serenade) and rather turn the scene to be inspiring and to have lots of great bands/music coming out of this little city on the far ends of earth. As quite clearly Christchurch lacks a degree of culture, and a rise in independent music would give those troubled teenagers something to do on a Friday night.

In other water creatures news, the water creatures may possibly be appearing for the first time ever live at the mountpleasantmusic debut gig, making it a debut gig of wild proportions. You might expect something similar to this here piece from Yeasayer, except more computers, less people playing and probably no where near as good as yeasayer...
