Actually starting to enjoy the Calvin Harris mix of Spectrum (Say My Name) by Florence and the Machine after hearing it again yesterday.. took me a while to come around to it, not a huge Florence fan. Song is catchy though
Everyone the day before thrift shop won: best song fuck yeah Everyone after it won: omg how did it win???
triple j has pretty much created a culture in Australia where it can flog off any song it wants and its frequent listeners/"followers" will love it. I'm not referring to Thrift Shop at all (I like Thrift Shop and I don't even like hip-hop), I'm referring to the countless shitty indie songs in there from the likes of San Cisco and Matt Corby.
Ball park are awesome. Matt Corby is gun, although can get a bit annoying. San Sisco are alright for the real poppy sorta shit. And Thrift Shop is gun, haters gonna hate.
glaring omissions i can think of off of the top of my head that genuinely deserved to be in the countdown (not just because I like them otherwise I'd be suggesting burial etc.) haim: numerous entries here crystal castles: everything in their album cat power: cherokee The XX: Chained Sarah Blasko: various songs Sigur Ros: various songs Bat for Lashes: All your gold
