A frequent lament among South Africans is that sometimes there is just much too much good stuff happening in our cities - too many worthy parties and festivals that can't all be attended. Aren't we the lucky ones...

This past weekend was no exception; the Toffie Pop Festival, the first Electronic Music Festival, the International Jazz Festival, K-Day, and Avicii all went down over the weekend in Cape Town. We report back on some of these great events.

We also review three very different albums - The Sick Leaves second offering Break Away, as well as the second offering from Spoek Mathambo; Father Creeper, and Bouwer Bosch's debut album Almal Maak Voute.

In theatre news we bring you two reviews of controversial dance production Dansmettieduiwels. We also look at the latest releases on the silver screen including the not particularly well-received Wrath of the Titans, and subtle disaster movie Melancholia.

On the automotive side of things, Henrie Geyser reviews the cute, cool, and connected Mercedes-Benz B-Class.

We also have a whole bunch of giveaways running; EFC, Taste of Cape Town, Parlotones, It Came from the Jungle, and Kaktus Op Die Vlaktes tickets are all up for grabs. Something strike your fancy? Enter on our Win page.

Happy long Easter weekend, here's to choosing the best party path!
