    Happy hottest 100 day! Would anybody be down for a thread in c/rage where we can discuss the H100? It was one of my favourite things from over on Reddit. All of us who cleared our days just to listen to the hottest 100 would sit around and pretty much all day “yeah this song’s fuckin shit ay” with the occasional old person hopping in to rant about how much better music was last century. Then once every 10 songs we’d all day “yeah I’m not a fan of [artist] but this song is actually alright”

    Ok I probably didn’t sell that very well - there’s a reason I don’t work in sales! But jokes aside, would anybody be keen for something like that? Wouldn’t be as much fun because there’s less people here, but I reckon with a few of us it’d be decent enough?

      The last time I sat and listened to the Hottest 100 was 2008 (the year I moved to Melbourne). I am super out of touch with whatever is on the airwaves these days. Smartphones killed the radio star.

      My exposure to Triple J these days is pretty much limited to the car ride to the weekly shopping trip, so not much, but I don’t think i’ve heard a single thing that didn’t have that stupid hollow auto tune voice effect. Can anyone actually sing anymore?

        I only hear the radio when I’m in shops and all they seem to play is Torn and Gravity

          I’ve realised I’m too old to really know these new artists! I’ll stick my head in though
