Gotye concert was good. Riverstage continues to be worst venue in Brisbane though. Oh well, the bands continue to be better than the venue.
Whoever does the art for his animations has a completely nightmarish vision for his bleaker songs but what seems to be an uncanny ability to mix visual styles. Smoke and Mirrors had stuff that looked like Robin (might recognize it as used in Moby and Radiohead songs) and Tool. Dig Your Own Hole looked like a mix between Yellow Submarine and Shin Megami Tensei. State of the art looked like a transumanist body horror version of Ren and Stimpy. The creepiest was an animated elephant in what looked like it was animated like old Felix the Cat or old Disney stuff like Steamboat Willy in colour and like... I guess it was Ren and Stimpy again? Some of it was just the subject matter. It was this elephant kind of dressed up like a sailor or school kid that is constantly stressed out and there was all these other big animals that look super ripped and the camera keeps lingering on them suggestively. I think it ended on the implication that our Elephant got gang raped.
Also hilarious, people that seem to only know how to dance to party tracks. I love Somebody That I Used to Know as much as everyone else that doesn't hate it after being overplayed. This is not a track to grind back and forth too while air punching. Not every track is a party track. Sometimes there is different motions that are appropriate.
