Happy Hottest 100 Day

The snags are ready. The Aussie flag is up. The cricket bat is ready. The BBQ is clean. Beer and wine on ice. Lamingtons prepared. Ice blocks are frozen.

It’s time to crack a tinnie {did I just say that?} and settle in for Triple J’s Hottest 100 2013 song countdown.

Listening to the hottest 100 countdown is my favourite part about Australia Day. It’s a guarantee of great tunes, good times and banter between friends.

In no particular order, here are my top 10 predictions:

The Preatures – Is This How You Feel?
Kite String Tangle – Given The Chance
Daft Punk – Get Lucky
London Grammar – Strong
Matt Corby – Resolution
Lorde – Royals
Haim – The Wire
Vance Joy – Rip Tide
RÜFÜS – Take Me
Flume/Chet Faker – Drop The Game

…….. and my NUMBER #1 song of 2013?
Rudimental – Free

Yep. I voted for Rudimental! There is no way it’ll be number #1 but it’s MY number #1 and I love it!

Who did you vote for?  I think Lorde and Daft Punk will slug it out for the number #1 spot.

To all my Aussie readers, HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY. I hope the sun is shining wherever you are today.

PS – Anyone notice that I listed 11 songs? I seriously can’t count.

 

Tuesday tunes {Jacob Pearson}. The next Jeff Buckley?

Jacob Pearson

Artist: Jacob Pearson

Song: Honey

Album: Places We Know

If you’re into The Ruben’s, Matt Corby or The Jezabels then you may like this guy Jacob Pearson. Jacob voice reminds me so much of the legendary Jeff Buckley – it’s alluring, smooth and honest. He’s a 22 year old who lives in NSW on the central coast. The track ‘Honey’ is iTunes Single of the week so you can download it for FREE. Support homegrown talent!
