Take part in the world’s biggest musical democracy! Listen to triple j on Australia Day to celebrate with sunshine, BBQs, good company + the best music of 2011.
Well it’s that time of year again (well at least for all those Triple J supporters) I could say if you’re not – then skip this post but then I think you are cheating yourself. Do you support Australian music? (No, it’s not all about Australian music but hey, we’re pretty damn cool in the music scene) Do you support emerging artists? Do you like a bloody good rockin Australia Day party? If you answered YES to at least one then keep reading 
It’s official – it’s the countdown to the Hottest 100. Voting closes on the 16th January and the countdown is on the 26th January 2012. If you go on over to the site you can do lots of cool things like sharing in the usual social media way which will give you updates and you can ‘shout out’ by way of discussion and register your party here in OZ! And that’s not all – just by registering your party you could WIN a whole heap of awesome stuff.
Oh and for all of those expats living elsewhere (lucky peeps) well you guyz don’t miss out coz you can listen to it on demand to suit your own time zone part-y). Which reminds me don’t forget to check out what time it starts in your state.
The Year in review is a great way to catch up and remember some of the cool music that hit the airways. The Hottest 100 has been going since 1989 but I’ve been following since 1994 – I was out of the country a LOT between 1984 – 1994 (oh, them were the daze) Here’s some history and stats to look at – oh, and you will see why supporting Australian music is really, very cool.
Okay, I’ve done my rant on music for the week – NOW GET VOTING! And don’t forget to tell me who you voted for…
***Pssst – check out the side bar – new song and yep, Australian band, Jagwa Ma from Sydney. If you are familiar with the ‘Lost Valentino’s‘ then this is Jono Ma (guitarist) and his debut single – Come Save Me. Visually it’s awesome, lyrics are great and the drumming…well need I say more! Oh, what the heck – I’m gonna post it here as well. Let me know what you think :)
Midnight rambler preparing for hot summer daze, barefeet, champagne (yeah I rock in style) and dancing and singing and having a great time on Australia day!
