Hottest 100s and 1000s

We want some bands that end up farming.
We want some bands who know what's best.
We want an eagle that's unparalleled in comfort.
We want a song with the rock 1 preset.

We want an ep with some hot takes and some loooooooooooooooong... Tom Waits impressions and discussions on whether or not band names are good? Do we?

Very Coach Shirley Manson voice: Ok, let's go, bases loaded, we got five songs to go before we're in the top 10 of the Hottest 100 of 2001, let's act like a Tool time signature and MAKE IT COUNT! Just don't accidentally anger Tom Petty's ghost. I'm tellin' you, we're as strong as a gorilla - I think, there's really no way of knowin'. C'MON BABY, LET'S GO!

In the podcast justice system, the songs of the triple j hottest 100 of 2001 are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the four voices you'll be hearing for the next hour or so, and the listeners who never plus 15 and always give us five stars. These are their stories.

Special guest stars Adam Buncher, Christopher Walken, Greta Thunberg and Dr Michael Morbius, the living vampire. It is, after all, still M...

Unlike Graham... listeners, we wouldn't lie to you. Yes, there's a lot happening here. There's kilts. There's cream. There's tabloids and tantrums. There's lesson on bagpipe etiquette. There's all kinds of machines and machine guns alike. But there's also some excellent takes on the songs of the 2001 triple j hottest 100.

We wouldn't lie to you.

Awwww yeeaaaah. Who's ready for some adult contemporary comfort? Any fans of yoghurt in the house? Can I get a 'woop woop' from the gorls in the crowd? And put your hands up if you like horse tranquillizer and incestuous Beach Boys threesooooomes!

Don't let the fact we're talking about twenty year old songs from the triple j hottest 100 of 2001 fool you. We ain't here to reflect. We're future focused, babies. We've got plans. We're plotting bank jobs. We're perfecting our tight fives. We're starring in sitcoms. We're getting justice for art students. And we're doo-dooing. We're doo-dooing HARD INTO THE FUTURE. Your kids will love it. 

Fresh poddy. Yummy yummy.

It's a church service. It's a dance floor. It's a chanting circle. Now it's another dance floor. It's a book club. It's the CWA whipping up some banoffee pie... it's a 'dobro' club?
...But it's actually the timely and triumphant return of your favourite triple-j-hottest-100-covering-podcast about to crack into the second gd half of the 2001 countdown! And look, we've had this room booked for a while, so.... yeah, thanks...

What do you get when you mix some era defining nu-metal, some reminiscing about old rock romances, high volume corner-store audio and too much snow? The halfway point of 2001's Hottest 100! Here we're getting our adenoids out, condemning pet shops, and giving some insider-trading tips on gaining the friendship of birds. Oh and also (for a change) talking about 5 goddamn songs from the 2001 triple j hottest 100 countdown! Hunker dow...

Everything from accents to port-a-loos gets the hottest takes they deserve on this episode. Why should you recommend this episode to your friends and family? Well, it's hard to explain.mp3

It's all in the family on this week's episode of Hottest 100s and 1000s. We are exiting the swinging 60s in style with a brand-new mixed bag of faux-siblings, method actors, puppets, animated bands, weirdly-specific gunpoint threats and large hats. It gets real, it gets fake and it gets really, really good. We're gonna celebrate!

You'd have thought we'd have had enough of staying at home by now, but honestly, what's out there? Awkward discos? Festivals that are either too hot and/or too cold? Towns? Nah, too crazy.
Why deal with that when you can just stay at home, put the kettle on, watch the Matrix, make friends with a rat... now that's entertainment. 

...We're still cool.

Yeah, this one is dedicated to all those artists who never returned to the hottest 100... to all those artists who haven't been featured in 8 long years... to those artists who are always compared to their siblings... to those artists who take punk rock and mix it with hip hop... and especially, especially, this one is dedicated to Costa from Gardening Australia.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there was a jaguar in that opening bit of 2001: a space odyssey, right? He messes up one of the dudes in the ape suit, which i always wondered about because there were definitely no special effects used. Some dude in an ape suit straight up got attacked by a big cat. Maybe several. There would have to have been multiple takes... I mean, incredible movie, but Kubrick was a bit of a jerk, surely...

Oh, right - ...
