Belle & Sebastian - A Summer Wasting

Grefter · « **Reply #676 on:** August 30, 2009, 09:22:32 AM »

Alright, now that I can get onto the forums, Hottest 100 is a yearly contest performed by Australia's free to air broadcast "youth" radio station (it is how they originally got funded), paid for the by the government, is called Triple J. Every year people vote for their favourite song from the year and gets compiled into top hundred. This year as a separate thing in the middle of the year it was Hottest 100 of All Time. For every time they do it they release a double disc compilation of 30ish of the songs from the year (I think you can buy a cut back version that is one of the discs if you want now.

So it is voted for by the Australian (largely, voting is online, I assume there is some overseas contingent) public. Normally gets over a million votes, as far as I know it is still the biggest popular music contest in the world.

http://www.triplej.net.au For the radio station, they have internet radio and a huuuuuuge archive of old broadcasts, I highly recommend checking out the J Files section, but their mix tapes and all kinds of stuff are good listens. Is where I picked up Tom Waits from.

Edit - Yeah obviously me not being able to reach the DL website for a bit killed my running commentary and I am not picking up where I left off.

Eels - The Longing.

Rise Against - Paper Wings

Just found out I'm seeing these guys live in November. Wiiiin~

Hmm. Interesting list. Bunch of stuff I haven't heard. Of the songs I know, there are mainly two I'd strike from any Top Anything list (Rage Against the Machine and that trashy Blur song). Amusingly, they managed to include the only two Rolling Stones songs I like.

The Pixies: Debaser

Rock songs about Salvador Dali movies. Yes.

Wild horses is pretty good as well, Cid. I pretty much agree otherwise.

Guns and Roses- Wild Horses

Unshockingly their version of the song is better, even without much in the way of lyrics.

While I on the other hand would have trouble coming up with a top whatever without Killing in the Name and Blur stuff on it.

If you don't know it, check it out. It is probably alright Australian stuff that won't take of anywhere else and that is a shame (Powder Finger, Augie March and Regurgitator being the big Aus ones on there from memory that didn't make it big overseas but are fairly ubiquitous in music types down here)

UFO - Lights Out

UFO? Hitting the obscure metal today, I see. Any good? I've merely heard of them.

Yuki Kajiura: Nowhere

UFO - Just Another Suicide

Very early metal. There's better, but Lights Out is a pretty great album. The stuff with Schenker on guitar is generally when they're at their best.

Actually only looked it up because my dad brought up Lights Out in the car the other day.

The Cure - Subway Song

The screech at the end of the song startles me every single time. Fuck you, Robert Smith.
