We construct a five--dimensional, asymptotically Goedel, three--charge blackhole via dimensional reduction of an asymptotically plane wave, rotatingD1-D5-brane solution of type IIB supergravity. This latter is itselfconstructed via the solution generating procedure of Garfinkle and Vachaspati,applied to the standard rotating D1-D5-brane solution. Taking all charges to beequal gives a "BMPV Goedel black hole", which is closely related to thatrecently found by Herdeiro. We emphasise, however, the importance of ourten--dimensional microscopic description in terms of branes. We discuss variousproperties of the asymptotically Goedel black hole, including the physicalbound on the rotation of the hole, the existence of closed timelike curves, andpossible holographic protection of chronology.Comment: 27 pages, 2 figures, LaTeX. v2: references and minor comments added. v3: very minor comments added, version published in JHE
