2007 live music roundup

Dec 18, 10:45 AM

I’ve seen quite a few web designers write about their top albums and live shows at the end of each year. It’s something I’ve often thought was a nice idea ‘cause it’s a good way to discover bands you might not have heard about (I was introduced to The hold steady from Jon Hicks’ blog during the year) and helps forgetful people like me remember what they’ve seen in years to come.

As this has to have been one of my best years for live music in quite a while I feel compelled to jot mine down too. So here we are (in no particular order):

  • Tool – Sidney Myer music bowl
  • Pixies – Sidney Myer music bowl
  • Ben Harper – Point Nepean
  • John Mayer – Point Nepean
  • Airbourne – Various places
  • The View – The Hi-Fi Bar
  • Crowded House – Rod Laver
  • Coldplay – Rod Laver
  • Battles – East Brunswick Club
  • Helmet – Corner hotel
  • Shooting At Unarmed Men – Various places

Next year is looking like another good ‘un already. I’ve got Iron Maiden and Future Of The Left coming up!

Jakob Nielsen ponders OK–Cancel or Cancel–OK?
Should the OK button come before or after the Cancel button? Following platform conventions is more important than sub-optimising an individual dialog box.
