Whenever I get that dreadful feeling that my life is going nowhere, the first thing I turn to is Octavarium. Although it it does nothing to remedy the situation at hand, it gives me that tiny bit of reassurance that I'm not the only one who has felt trapped, and that as long as I continue to press on, I will find my way out. More importantly, it gives me some much needed time to distance myself from my thoughts and give them time to settle. Over the course of its 20+ minutes, the song progresses though five sections, each of them with their own distinct sound and feel, almost as if they were plucked from entirely different songs. But when taken as a whole, they bonds between them begin to strengthen and come together as the different parts of a long journey. As you progress through the different terrains, there are different messages to learn from the words around you. All of them valuable in their own right, but ultimately they share a common theme that builds the message of the entire album: the Full Circle. …

Inspired by Triple J's recent "Impossible Music Festival" it got me thinking about what bands I'd love in one festival. So, due to the recent holidays and my sleeping patterns being thrown out of wack due to the World Cup, I set myself the task of plotting a festival that no one else might enjoy, but I damn well would. The set up goes like this:
Warm Up Act - 4 songs
Opener - 6 songs
Main - 10 songs
After Party - 6 songs
Some of the line ups ran to a lot shorter time wise than others, in which case I gave the After Party band 2 extra songs (and I gave the after party band on the last night an extra song because I could). The nights should try and follow a similar theme, so no acoustic country band following a death metal one.

Feel free to give it a shot yourself, of just leave me abuse for my choices.

First Night
Warm Up
Dead Letter Circus
>Here We Divide
>The Space on the Wall
>This Is The Warning
>Reaction

Opener
Metallica, accompanied by Symphony Orchestra (see S&M)
…

Rules: Put your playlist on shuffle and write down the first 25 songs you get.

1. A Fair Judgement
2. Stargazer
3. Futile Bread Machine (Campfire Version)
4. The Path of Least Resistance
5. A Little Piece Of Heaven
6. Windowpane
7. Neurotica
8. Lines in the Sand
9. We Are the Dead
10. The Root of All Evil
11. War Inside My Head
12. Great Expectations
13. Losing Time / Grand Finale
14. Future Breed Machine (Mayhem Version)
15. 5.7.0.5
16. About to Crash
17. This Godless Endeavor
18. Take It on the Run
19. Carved in Stone
20. Master's Apprentices
21. In Your Words
22. Transfixion
23. Burning My Soul
24. I, Deception
25. Bonnie the Cat

Now take the first line from the first song, the second line from the second song, third line from the third song, etc. and put them in order below to make your scrambled song. If the song doesn't have enough lines, loop back to the beginning; like if you need the 22nd line but the song only has 15 lines, you start counting again with the first line and use line 7.

Take nine bands that should play at your show and determine their set lists:
- The first one plays 5 songs.
- The second one plays 5 songs.
- The third one plays 5 songs.
- The fourth one plays 7 songs.
- The fifth one plays 7 songs.
- The sixth one plays 10 songs.
- The seventh one plays 10 songs.
- The eighth one plays 12 songs.
- The ninth one plays 16 songs, with a 3 song encore.

Okay, this would clearly be some kind of all day show...and possibly the biggest collection of sheer win in one place, ever.
