Hottest 100 Preview:
January 23rd 2010 03:22
Well what a year in music 2009 was!
The Arctic Monkeys re-invented themselves with a grungier, rockier sound, departing from the the indie-pop music they were known for. Humbug shows us that the band has progressed in style, and the end result was just as good, if not better, than the previous two albums.
Jet also showed maturity, going from an Aussie hard rock band with no other strings to their bow to producing songs like Seventeen, Goodbye Hollywood and Let me Out, all with a poppier, more melodic vibe.
We saw the remergence of Wolfmother, the implosion of Oasis and The Killers and some stunning tracks and live performances throughout the world.
The best way to celebrate a year of sensational year of music is by tuning into Triple J's Hottest 100 on Australia Day.
Although Triple J seem to have leaked the winner on the ABC website (see below), the countdown is not about the eventual winner, but more about celebrating sensational music.
I'll be sinking a beer or seven while I soak in just how much the alternative music scene is thriving.
Here's what I voted for:
1901 - Phoenix
Little Lion Man - Mumford & Sons
Cousins - Vampire Weekend
Ramona was a Waitress - Paul Dempsey
Theme from Nice Guy - Paul Dempsey
Cornerstone - Arctic Monkeys
Broken Leg - Bluejuice
Vanilla - British India
Killer - Whitley
Make up your Mind - Yves Klein Blue
Close: The Rakes Song - The Decemberists
Mind Eraser, No Chaser - Them Crooked Vultures
Brother - Little Birdy
Carol Brown - Flight of the Conchords
Whip it (like a version) - Dananananakroyd
Feel free to post a comment telling me what you voted for:
Listen to this: Dananananakroyd's cover of Whip it: it's sensational. Just oozes with enthusiasm and the boys really have a good time - and so do those who watch or listen to the clip. Check it out here
