Hottest 100

Roff Report: Blog Edition

Hey all its dom here. Triple j has just opened its voting’s for its hottest 100 comp. All you have to do to vote is to go onto this site http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hottest100/vote/default.htm and click the vote online now link. That will take you to a page were you can pick as many songs as you like and make a short list. Once you have picked your songs remember to click the boxes of your ten favs out of that short list or else none of your votes count. Once you have done this triple j will send you an email to confirm your votes. If my instructions don't make sense the website will clearly take you through step by step with the process.
If your having trouble picking songs I suggest
A bit of our own Dan Kelly
some of the Herd
a bit of the Drones
and my favs (apart from Dan of course) Wolfmother.

I hope your votes all make it in and if your lucky you could win a hottest 100 cd!!
cheers Dominic

Alaine, Milly and I have already voted. In fact, I've voted three times and Alaine voted twice on Mum and Dad's behalf.

But to me, some of your selections are a bit out. My top ten were:

1) Dan Kelly and the Alpha Males, "Drunk on Election Night";
2) Wolfmother, "Mind's Eye";
3) The Cat Empire, "The Car Song"
4) The White Stripes, "My Doorbell";
5) Bernard Fanning, "Wish You Well";
6) Franz Ferdinand, "Do you Want To?";
7) The Flaming Lips, "SpongeBob and Patrick battle the Cosmic Force";
8) Regurgitator, "My Ego"
9) Wily Mason, "Oxygen"
10) Jamiroquai, "Feels Just Like It Should".

Of course, I change a few of the selections around, with the exception of Dan, the Wolf and the Lips. That way I get to vote for Kings of Leon, Kanye West, The Living End, Kaiser Chiefs, The Pictures, QOTSA, The Polyphonic Spree, Gorillaz, Oasis, Tim Rogers and the Temperance Union, The Darkness and Oasis.

Far be it from me, though, to stifle democracy...

Dom, you have inspired me to vote.

I didn't vote Dan No. 1 because he is about to marry my cousin ... I voted for him because, "Drunk on election night" actually is my favourite song of the year.

I suppose the selections below that stick out like a sore thumb are the Missy Higgins songs, but I am an unashamed fan - and anyway, Daniel supports American rappers..

Drunk On Election Night - Dan Kelly & The Alpha Males
Fix You - Coldplay
Best Of You - Foo Fighters
Better Days - Pete Murray
Bloody Mother F***ing Asshole - Martha Wainwright
The Sound Of White - Missy Higgins
The Special Two - Missy Higgins
Flame Trees - Sarah Blasko
Low C - Supergrass
Gabrielle - Ween

Hey Jake: regarding Dan marrying your cousin, Nicholas just pointed out that it's lucky didn't marry Kelly - She'd have to go through life as "Kelly Kelly" ...

What's wrong with Jamiroquai? It's great music for getting out and cutting up the dance floor (something I do very frequently, and, as you would have noticed from Tom and Naomi's wedding reception, I do exceptionally well). And Jake, fishizzle on the rappizzle, G.

Here are my top ten, in no particular order:

Girl - Beck
I'm So Post Modern - Bedroom Philosopher
Late - Ben Folds
Drunk On Election Night - Dan Kelly & The Alpha Males
Feels Just Like It Should - Jamiroquai
Dance Music - Mountain Goats
Get Ready For Love - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Some Postman - Presidents Of The United States Of America
Do It Again - Tim Rogers & Temperance Union
Evie (Pt.1) - Wrights

I have to agree with Daniel about Jamiroquai. You have to respect the pure funkiness that they can achieve.

Also, Tim Rogers is awesome, check him out live if you get the chance. No doubt some Jack Johnson would have featured in my list too, if I'd gotten round to listening to the new album.

Vote 1 Phanny!

We (Alaine, Milly, myself, a few mates and some other punters) saw Timmy play last night with Dallas Crane and, I've got to say, it was a rockin' show. We also got a photo with him 'flipping the bird', but it didn't come up as well as we would have liked. (I'll try and post it, provided there are no overwhelming objections to the appearance of profanity expressed physically).

Two things:

1) Tim Rogers and Dallas Crane. Would have been an awesome show. Fix the 'flippin the bird' image (if no luck, email me the pic and I'll see if I can get it up there).

2) It's nice to know that Dom has a secure future as a US electoral observer.
