New beginnings are always filled with interest and intrigue. And that was at the forefront of my mind as I arrived at Flemington yesterday for the Melbourne leg of this year’s Big Day Out.

It would appear an external contractor hired by Big Day Out to preside over the big-screen TV at the festival’s Gold Coast stopover went mad with power. That’s really the only excuse we can come up with as to why the “the rogue contract technician” thought it would be a good idea to try and
A single man sat in one of Oxford Art Factory’s trademark brick inlets at the back of the Main Room, his head snapped painfully back against the ledge, half resting on the lip of his skateboard.
