New Zealand is on the come-up, at least in my little bubble. A solid World Cup appearance, a perfect TV show, and a string of really great releases (Cut Off Your Hands in '08, Fat Freddy's Drop in '09, and now Stornoway). Not to mention them Ring Lord movies. Modest, maybe, but there's a positivity about all of the above that I find charming.

I woke up with this feelgood little foot-stomper in my head, which I think guarantees me a good day.
