Happy Australia Day ♥

Happy Australia Day…

Hope most of you had a dry and safe day.  It’s been very wet here in Queensland over the past few days with many celebration/festivals cancelled and parts of NSW are having their fair share of the big wet!  Hope it didn’t hamper too many celebrations and that you had a good day!

 

As I’ve talked about here , I listened to the Hottest 100 on Triple J and most of the songs I voted for came in and I actually enjoyed the countdown from 100-20 more than the top twenty itself (slightly disappointed).  But I was really happy with the top 8.  And of course I knew Gotye would get #1 – no surprises there!  Well done to Wally and Kimbra.  I thought it would be a battle between Gotye and Matt Corby but Matt came in at #3 and I was pretty stoked that The Black Keys made #2.  Hoorah!  Click here for the full list.

Anyway, that’s it for another year – until the album release.  I love the Hottest 100 –it’s celebrated on Australia Day, it’s music, it’s Triple J and many of the artists are Australian and damn fine ones at that. And here’s No: 1 – Enjoy  ♥

And just for something different here is Matt Corby’s ‘Like a Version’ of the #2 spot for ‘The Black Keys – Lonely Boy’.  It’s not the pumpy, rock out version of the brilliant Black Keys but it’s pretty brilliant just the same.  Let me know what you think…

Midnight rambler about to curl up with iPod and Triple J as have just received another one of those creepy, severe storm alerts for the northern suburbs and Moreton bay in which I live…Here we go again!

I voted in triple j's Hottest 100 2011, have YOU?

Only 12 days to go before the hottest 100 countdown on Triple J.  If you are not familiar with the Hottest 100 I explain more here. Australia day will be upon us before we know it and the biggest part of my Australia day celebrations is celebrating music that was released in 2011.  But the voting process can be tough. How do you vote for just ten songs when there are so many more?

Over the coming days I’m going to post my top ten votes even though I would prefer 50. To get started here are the first two:

1. Kasabian – Rewired. I just love these guys sense of humour and great music/mini film vids :)

2. Art Vs Science – With thoughts. I just love this dance band out of Sydney. The song I’ve chosen is probably their most laid back, chilled out song ever. They are a dance band and a brilliant one at that. It’s hard to choose an Art vs Science song for the top ten because there are so many. But today I’m feeling mellow so ‘with thoughts’ gets my vote :) Tomorrow it could be ‘Magic Fountain:)

Who are you going to vote for? Love to see your top ten list :)  Post it here and let’s get ready to party!

VOTE NOW!
