VIDEO: Kim Dotcom releases John Banks song 'Amnesia'

Kim Dotcom has written and released a song about the John Banks donation saga. Uploaded to Kim Dotcom's official YouTube channel, MrKimDotcom, the track is officially named 'Amnesia'. John Banks faced tough accusations last week, after it emerged that Kim Dotcom had donated large sums to his mayoral campaign in 2010. Mr Banks is now under investigation by the police for allegedly declaring the donations anonymous, when he knew who they were from. Produced by Printz Board, who writes songs for Black Eyed Peas, the song focuses on Mr. Banks' memory lapses - the chorus singing "that politician's got amnesia again." The track uses audio clips from interviews with John Banks on RadioLIVE and Campbell Live. It was recorded at Neil Finn's Roundhead Studios, where Mr. Dotcom was spotted outside last week.

A cab driver who witnessed the shocking incident rushed to the hole to help, climbing down the hole to comfort her while they waited for a rescue team. Water flowing beneath the pavement had created a cavity, which the weight of the girl on top broke through. Rescuers sent down a ladder and the girl and the taxi driver emerged, shaken but uninjured.

Time lapse video of Auckland

A time lapse portrait of Auckland city, with Sky Tower, by Alessandro Casella. Alessandro said he made the video to share some of Auckland's beauty, "showing it from a different perspective of time, to enhance so many things that happen around us and we are not aware of because our general perception of a place is usually in a different time beat." He suggests watching it more than once to fully appreciate all the details. Alessandro is on the hunt for an exec producer interested in supporting a time lapse feature to cover the whole of New Zealand. You can contact him on alessandro@shinealight.co.nz.
