It's Triple J Hottest 100 day (known to some as Australia Day). I'm just back from SOCSPO and am having a few vinos and ... ok, doing laundy and cleaning the house but I did just come back from leave... listening to the awesome countdown.
Twitter's been the place to be this year with each song being tweeted as soon as it's played on the radio (gone are the days of "what was that song again?"). Check out their website here.
Personally, I find a lot of the best Aussie songs are earlier in the countdown so was glad I caught the tail end first. Lots of Bliss n Eso (best hip hop outfit EVER), Gypsy and the Cat, Arcade Fire, and Art vs Science. The latter made the top ten with the rather bizarre "Magic Fountain". Special mention also to Evil Eddie for the fantastic "Queensland".
For the record:
100 - Neutron Star Collision by Muse
50 - One Life Stand by Hot Chip
25 - Eyes Wide Open by Gotye
20 - Sunday Best by Washington
10 - Somebody To Love Me by Mark Ronson feat. Boy George
5 - Fall At Your Feet by Boy & Bear
Yes, that's right. The top 5 song is a f**king remake. That's just terrible. It's not even a good version of the song. What the hell is the world coming to?
3, 2, 1... *drum roll*
Number one song is... Big Jet Plane by Angus And Julia Stone
And it beat out Rock It by Little Red to do it
Happy 100 day everyone...
PS - What's with the "Barbara Streisand" song?
