So, yes, timetable dilemmas. But I've learnt to not plan out your day too thoroughly otherwise you worry too much about what you're missing out on, rather than enjoying the day and the music that you do get a chance to see.
For now all I am hoping for is that the weather stays this good for the rest of the week and I can get all of my assignments in before then so I can enjoy the day guilt-free! I'm so looking forward to dancing all day.
Have you seen any of these acts before? Are there any you think that I absolutely must go see? Others that are lame and not worth my time? Did you go to the Perth or Brisbane Parklife this past weekend?

1. Take back your comment about the rest of the Empire of the Sun album - FACT: It is ALL Brilliant! :-)
2. You are a little off for not knowing Metric..They are super. Grow Up and Blow away. And you 'should' know 'Help! I'm alive' (acoustic version is the bombdiggity!)
3. I love the Rapture's album 'Pieces of the People we Love', and not sure if they gave it justice at their Good Vibes show a few years back..fingers crossed for this year! 'Got to get myself into it' and 'First Gear' will rock!
4. EMPIRE OF THE SUN!
5. Erol Akon - 'I don't feel like dancing' (Scissor Sisters' remix) and 'Boy from School' (Hot Chip remix). :-)
6. Harris Robbotis 1pm :-)
7. MAJOR CLASSSSSSSSSSH - Metric and Empire..WHY DO THAT..Metric should have been earlier in the day!!
8. EMPIRE OF THE SUN!! COLOURS
9. EMPIRE OF THE SUN!! GRANDIOSE!
10. EMPIRE OF THE SUN!! EPIC
11. EMPIRE OF THE SUN!! Electro Psychedelic Pop!! :-)
Haha, yeah I am interested to see all of the theatrics EotS will no doubt have in their show.
I will hunt down some Metric now.
I realised that I do actually know Help! I'm alive. Cool.
I've seen La Roux and let me tell you, don't miss that... they're great live, she has such an infectious energy. everyone was just going crazy at the end of the set. I'm really annoyed i missed out on tickets to parklife, because i really love the lineup - the rapture, tiga, crystal castles... love love love.
and i even think that lady sovereign is good fun! hope you have the best time (you will, of course!)
