Any triple J voters?

Why haven't I seen anyones votes for 2007 Triple J hottest 100? And lets keep it to musical taste this year not tips for who will win. Here are mine:

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Windows
Klaxons - Golden Skans
Mars Volta - Wax Simulacra
Red Riders - My Love Is Stronger Than Your Love
Jarvis - Fat Children
Public Enemy - Harder Than You Think
Smashing Pumpkins - Tarantula
Beasts Of Bourbon - I Don't Care About Nothing Anymore
Dinosaur Jr. - Almost Ready
Wagons - Snake Bite

Also I noticed at the WAMI's (west australian music awards) that Institut Polair are nominated for most popular video. Is this the video that Adam and Monica had a hand in? If so, go you guys! Clearly Adam's getting in the line of shot helped add the 'x' factor to it.

Hottest 100 voting was challenging this year because I only knew half the songs, being absent as I was for half of the year. But here are my picks up until June 2007:

Architecture In Helsinki - Hold Music
Cold War Kids - Saint John
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Berlin
Dappled Cities Fly - Vision Bell
Mark Ronson feat. Amy Winehouse - Valerie
Modest Mouse - Dashboard
Paper Scissors - Yamanote Line
Powderfinger - Lost And Running
The Shins - Phantom Limb
Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye

If I was allowed, I would have voted for the entire Architecture in Helsinki 2007 release; pretentious band, awesome album; and irrespective of their equally pretentious name, the Cold War Kids put on the best live gig of 2007.

You have no idea how glad I am to be home and no longer subject to the horrors of Euro pop. Go the Js!

There are some notable music punters AWOL here. Kel and I have totally missed the boat, and we are hoping for guidence to explore some new music.

Come on Egg man, where's your two cents? (and Amanda, Kate...etc. etc.)

I was being ironic, Damian - Tex or not, "I don't care about nothing anymore" should not be permitted to be the title of a song.
Here's my hottest hits for 2007:
Tangled up in blue - Bob Dylan.
If you like ukulele ladies - Ukulele Ladies (this was tough - how hard is it to spell "ukulele"?)
1952 Vincent Black Lightning - Richard Thompson.
Cheap Hotel - Ron Sexsmith.
Song of Bernadette - Jennifer Warnes (cover of Leonard Cohan song)
Chelsea Hotel No 2 - Rufus Wainwright.
Time to get a gun - Fred Eaglesmith.
Primrose Hill - Louden Wainright 111.
Gladiators - Andy Irvine.
Anything else written or sung by Bob Dylan.

- Radiohead - All I Need
- Shins, The - Australia
- Iron & Wine - Boy With A Coin
- Muse - Knights Of Cydonia (but only because it makes a bitchin' Guitar Hero track)
- Powderfinger - Lost And Running
- Ben Kweller - Penny On The Train Track
- Waifs, The - Sun Dirt Water
- Gogol Bordello - Wonderlust King
- Paper Scissors - Yamanote Line
- Grinderman - No Pussy Blues

And my 'Lupe Fiasco' award for most annoying song of 2007:
Soft Tigers - Mr Ice Cream

omfg. met joanna newsom tonight at bjork's after party. she is totally hot. and the "wonder-brass", bjork's icelandic brass section are ok too.

grant said...

So much for my comments above regarding Adam being quiet because he's working on this thesis. Clearly, falling in love with a goddamn harp player at 4.06am is taking precedence. How did you scam Bjork's after-party?

Rowan said...

Hmm, laineys list is okay if you take out all the songs except "cherry cola" and "flathead". Everyone elses picks are totally lame. Expecially Annikas. But ESPECIALLY Andrews.

P.S: Adam has made it

Adam, I'll see your "meeting Joanna Newsom" and raise you a "drinks with Vince Colossimo". Yes I did. Although, it's no Bjork after party...how DID you scam that one?

PS. Rowan, on the topic of "lame", YOU ARE! YOU'RE MUM IS! YOU'RE FACE IS! etc etc.

PPS. I didn't mean it Cathie.

...and when I said "you're" rather than "your", I was actually just trying to make my teenage lingo more grammatically incorrect, and therefore correct.

...and how many of your songs made it into the countdown Rowan?

1:44 pm
Rowan said...

not many because there aren't enough people like me around. It's a shame.

No its not. The "people" have spoken and they have said that you Rowan, and the few people like you, have no musical taste. I had seven songs in the top 100, not that I'm boasting.

What's the Hottest 100?

10:38 pm
Jake said...

Firstly, Grant, you are no help - Aren't your pics the same as last year?

Secondly - Cousins, you are no help. I still have no idea what is good, pretentious, or just crap music.

Thirdly, Dd you pick number 1 Egg? You are my hero. Are you coming to the Blues Fest this year? I need to follow you around to the 'good acts'.

grant said...

Correct me if I'm wrong, Jake, but "following" Andrew around last year just led to a bunch of photos with you and the Bundy girls - it looked like a music-free zone. Hope Kel has finally forgiven you and sorry to bring it up again. Annika had a Top 100 party which resulted in broken glass in the pool and one of Dom's mates being taken to the hospital for stitches for a cut foot. Just another Australia Day story...
