Hottest 100s and 1000s

You wouldn't be able to tell from looking from outside a window, but we have a spring in our step as we continue through the 70s of triple js 1999 hottest 100. Some unexpected things are certainly keeping us on our toes- a far too familiar voice in a far too unfamiliar place, homages to glam rock, unearthing a trend your mum was surely all about and a surprisingly compelling conservation message. Can't you hear us pumping on YOUR podcast ap of choice? You can. And should. SONGS COVERED: 75. Friendly - Some Kind of Love Song 74. Deadstar - Deeper Water 73. Supergrass - Pumping on Your Stereo 72. Something for Kate - Hallways 71.

We're exiting the 80s in style: crashing cars, cancelling faves, cashing in on movie tie-ins, considering just how much nostalgia actually does rot your brain and of course, critiquing another tight five tracks from triple j's hottest 100 countdown of 1999. Geez, we even quote from an ACTUAL BOOK at one point here. Real content. No gimmicks. SONGS COVERED: 80. Moloko - Sing It Back 79. Moby - Bodyrock 78. The Cardigans - My Favourite Game 77. Funkstar Deluxe and Bob Marley - Sun is Shining 76.

You know, attempting to cover off on every song that made it into every triple j hottest 100 countdown, it takes a lot of time. That's why we don't mess around. We get straight to it. We keep our conversations lean and to the point- and no episode better demonstrates that than this one. Ben Harper makes us question the merits of beat boxing. Custard allows us to examine reflexive irony and band identity. Skunkhour shows us how audience feedback can be a driving force for creative confidence. It's just solid music talk. Nothing else. Nope. Eyes on the prize. SONGS COVERED: 85. Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals - Steal My Kisses 84. Spiderbait - Stevie 83. Custard - Hit Song 82. Skunkhour - Home 81. Ben Lee - Nothing Much Happens LIKE HOTTEST 100S AND 1000S ON FACEBOOK: hottest100sand1000s FOLLOW HOTTEST 100S AND 1000S ON TWITTER: @Hottest100s AND YOUR HOSTS: @AndrewM138 | @DJYwrites | @NLFHarrison

Today, we bid farewell to the 90s of our last season of the 90s... does that make sense? Read it back. Anyway.

Come with uuuuuussssssss. SONGS COVERED: 90. Rammstein - Stripped 89. Green Day - Nice Guys Finish Last 88. Moby - Run On 87. Placebo - You Don't Care About Us 86.

Gun to your head, if you had to, like, had to, pick a podcast episode where five friends choose the songs they think should have been in the 1998 Hottest 100, no time to think, first thing that comes to mind - it's gotta be this one. Featuring the wonderful Elliot J O'Neill from the equally wonderful Simpsons Index Podcast. Plus we dive into hot takes from the editorial you.

On the outskirts of the top ten of the hottest 100 of 1998, there are still many undiscovered lands and customs. Punks with imaginary girlfriends. Subterranean interpretations of the torah. Sissy punk rockers turned serious songwriters. And walls of death. Always walls of death. We think this episode is VERY NICE. But we can handle criticism. SONGS COVERED 15. The Living End - Second Solution 14. Blink 182 - Josie 13. They Might Be Giants - Dr Worm 12. Ben Folds Five - Brick 11.

We have a lot of fun on this podcast, but sometimes the triple j hottest 100 reminds us of how rough it was back in 1998: cartoon children running wild over even the best of hip hop tracks, a rampant bass epidemic, impending banjo-related financial crises. We were really on a knife's edge- and perhaps we would have slipped if not for a couple of new wave time travellers (dun-dun). You get this will make sense once you've heard the ep, right? SONGS COVERED 20. Chef - Simultaneous 19. Wyclef Jean feat. the kids from South Park - Bubblegoose 18. Grinspoon - Just Ace 17. The Living End - Tainted Love 16. Josh Abrahams feat.

Our four digital champions once again face the digital challenges posed by the triple j hottest 100 of 1998 (only semi-digital at best); including keeping agony and irony fresh, fixing up some sartorial nomenclature and giving some Australian comedians tips on how they could cover a heartfelt Aussie classic.
