Tunes Day, Tuesday!

(It is really Wednesday but let's pretend I posted this yesterday)

Introducing: Twenty Years of triple j's Hottest 100

triple j is not your average radio station. Not only are they on the radio, they have a tv program  (triple j tv), magazine (jmag) and are on-line (www.triplej.net.au)
"You should know that triple j is completely AD-FREE. We ain’t pimpin’ no-one’s shit (unless it’s our own), no matter what the price." This is just another example why triple j are different from the other commercial radio stations.


The Hottest 100 started in 1993 and has been going strong ever since.
This year bought us 20 years of the Hottest 100 and triple j decided it would be a good idea to let the public vote for their favourite 20 songs from the last 20 years.
It was broadcasted live in two sections, 100-50 on Saturday and 50-1 on Sunday.
The list features artists such as Blink-182, The Cat Empire, Silverchair, Arctic Monkeys, Daft Punk, Nirvana, Radiohead and Gotye but the number 1 spot was taken by Oasis' Wonderwall.

Tunes Day, Tuesday

Introducing: Bleeding Knees Club

Bleeding Knees Club are an indie surf-punk duo (now trio) from Australia. Having only formed in 2010, they have played the stages of British music festivals the Great Escape and Liverpool Sound City and have toured with the Vines, all within the first two years of formation. After releasing the Virginity EP, they band was named one of NME's 50 Best New Bands of 2011. Between touring, they released their first album, Nothing To Do, in 2012.
Bleeding Knees Club have only just recently released a new song Feel and are currently touring Australia. Their live shows are always bound to cause chaos. They have been banned from a venue in Adelaide, ripped down two disco balls (so far from the current tour) and always cause a bit of blood.

Nonetheless, these crazy boys are all bout having fun and sharing rad music.
