Okay, so, I'm usually the first to rain on the parade that is Australian television. Particularly Australian dramas. Typically they're cliched rip-offs and it's hard to figure out in which ways the chronically over-used Aussie actor is trying to differentiate this character from the character they played in the last Aussie drama they 'starred' in.

That song IS amazing, YES. Also that show looks like it is exactly in my wheelhouse--will have to go about watching it!

For your meme, tell me about your five favorite live music experiences of 2013, please?

That MS MR show sounds AMAZING; it's so great the timing worked out for you guys! And I had not heard of Matt Corby but have since listened to all of those songs and DUDE. LOVE. Seeing him must have been so fantastic! Also hot cider and fire barrels sounds like the loveliest thing right now, and also also: "Brew Am I" by You Am I? That is some fabulous naming, and I'm going to be laughing forever about it!

Plus, I am impressed by your family's ability to win so many tickets! That makes it doubly fun, I'd think!

Okay. I am going to go finish listening to the rest of your top fav recs (Dustin Tebbutt, omg). I hope your 2014 is similarly filled with awesome music!

Just so we're clear, I can not remember the last time I personally won a single thing. I have vague recollections of winning a frozen chook on a chocolate wheel when I was maybe seven? And that is it ( ... )

I totally believe you'll win the Golden Ticket!! Probably several years of not winning anything means you're due, right? Let's stick with that theory, and meanwhile maybe also you should convince your sister to sign up and win for you?

Your lineup for this year, thus far, is impressive! Particularly the symphony orchestra's Disney score concert, that sounds super fun. So far all I've got planned is Cvrches and Hospitality, buuut hopefully more things will fall into place.

I totally believe it too!! I totally believed it ~last year as well, but, we won't dwell on that!

My sister has also already entered so all bases are covered!

Ooh, Chvrches will be at Laneway Festival, which I am SUUUPER excited about! I've not heard of Hospitality so now I will go youtube them, thank you!
