Time to Update My Ipod with Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2010

Once a year on January 26th, Australia Day, I tackle the time difference from Australia to Vancouver and try to catch some of triple j's hottest 100. It is my favourite radio station and, I think, far superior to any Vancouver radio station. Since I've been traveling I haven't always had the internet connection needed to listen to triple j and I feel like I've been missing out on new music. That's why I'm so excited for the Hottest 100, it will supply me with the years hottest music to update my iPod with and entertain me on all the long bus rides that are coming up as I head with my boyfriend to Turkey and the middle east.
Since I'm currently in Northern Sweden, I unfortunately slept through the majority of the Hottest 100 and woke up just in time to boot up my macbook for song number 3.

The top five songs of the countdown are:

Since Angus and Julia Stone are one of my favourite musical duos, I'm very happy that they were voted into the top spot this year. I already have their album A Book Like This, on which Big Jet Plane is featured, but I'm excited to peruse the rest of the list for new tracks to check out and add some new albums to my music collection. Visit the triple j website for the full list, pics of the many Australia Day celebrations, or just to listen.

Angus and Julia Stone - Their track Big Jet Plane is the number 1 song on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2010

  2. I used to be able to download the mp3 stream and open it in iTunes where it would stay like it's own album and I could just play it directly from there. It's not working for me right now but give it a try just in case. Otherwise you can open their jukebox which just plays from a window in your internet browser. Thanks for reading!
