I was at the infamous Pyramid Rock Music Festival in Phillip Island this New Years, and yes it was a fizzer of an event. Never again will i attend this very poorly organised event.
Anyway, the highlights were Cat Empire, British India, Architecture in Helsinki, Kram and Tame Impala.
Lowlights: Regurgitator weren't as good as they usually are and of course the 4 headline acts didn't perform (empire of the sun, van she, grinspoon and butterfly effect). There wasn't even a countdown into the new year, as event organisers blamed it on the electrical storm making it unsafe for bands to play on stage.

Re: Been to a good gig lately? [Merged]
Yep.
And I think they're in the studio doing another Album as we speak.
BTW, I'm also off to Appollo Bay for their Festival in the last weekend in March.
Some of the acts are here: http://www.apollobaymusicfestival.com/artists.php
Anyone else going?

Went to see Pavement last night at the Palace (old Metro nightclub). It was pretty much what I expected to see from a Pavement show, alternately intense, shambolic experimental and messy. They played for close to an hour and 3/4, and they played all their good songs, from the early Box Elder, through Summer Babe, Trigger Cut, Cut Your Hair, Range Life, Silence Kit, Rattled by The Rush, Shady Lane etc. Too many songs to do a set list, they must have played close to 30 songs.
They started off quite tight and intense but when they hit some of their slower songs they lost a bit of impetus, they got a bit experimental with some songs, then regained their intensity at the end although they lost their tightness and were quite messy at the end, but thats what I certainly expect of Pavement. All in all it was almost like they'd never split up although I'm not sure Steve Malkmus and Spiral Stairs are getting on.
One thing that was irritating was that Malkmus stood right at the edge of the stage on the right and as I was on a balcony on that side I couldn't see him at all and so had to move to a position up the back where I could see the whole band but the sound was worse.

Not a gig but watched Songbook on Music Max (Fox) last night featured Bernard Sumner from Joy Division / New Order.
Fascinating listening to him talk about songwriting and how they came up with songs like Love Will Tear Us Apart, Bizarre Love Triangle etc.

I saw them at Golden Plains. As a big Pavement fan back in the day I was very disappointed with the first 20 minutes or so of the set. Sloppy and disinterested. I was standing there thinking to myself, "perhaps you guys shouldn't have reformed if you're not into it". However, they tightened up after that and played some great songs. Not a bad set.
Having said that, Dinosaur Jr, which followed them were in ripping form and had the best mix of the weekend - they sounded awesome.
