Carnage in Melbourne  #

Guardian article on BBC free-stuff (thanks Dave).

The BBC doesn't have the rights to all of its material. Some of the BBC's broadcasts have copyrights owned by others, who'd be rather less keen to see their intellectual property spread around the net. Actors have contracts that specify residuals - payments that kick in each time a programme is shown. But there is a stash of material that currently does not earn the BBC a penny, and for which it owns exclusive rights. What's more, it's been listed in every Royal Charter that it has a requirement to present this material to the world.

Free un(lossy)compressed live music at eTree. Zwan (you know, Smashing Pumpkins without Darsy or James) and Estradasphere (Secret Chiefs 3 fans would like). And as I've said a million times, they have Tenacious D too.

Head enlarging quote of the day: "DUDE! You're underpaid!"

iMax BUGS! in 3D looks good but you just know there will be spiders and a spider as big as the iMax screen would be a bit much to take I think.

Some excellent photos of the 1972 flood in Melbourne in The Age today.

Fire & Flood in the Heart of Melbourne - Extraordinary Images of Disasters in the City of Melbourne opens on Friday, at Melbourne Town Hall.

Big crash on Hoddle street in Collingwood today. Bus hit two trams.
