Headed to Big Day Out in Sydney last week. Stayed with the ever hospitable Shara and Jac, they even let us watch Foxtel!

Highlights for me were:

• The Music – no fuss, just top songs – see them
• Eskimo Joe – great pop songsters
• Johnie Butler – not the best venue for him but still grouse (come back to Woodford John!)
• Powderfinger – oldies but goodies
• Beastie Boys – varied set, pretty darn good
• Chemical Brothers – masters of blips and beats, despite a languid crowd
• Spiderbait – top brainless rockers
• Grinspoon – even more brainless
• The Hives – missed most of their set, but still tops (memories of Deutschland)

Who did I forget?

And thanks to the NSW Police for arresting all those drug peddling 14 year old girls, I feel much safer now.
