EDIT: updated with the results for each song — January 27. Boy do I know how to pick them!

Voting for the Triple J Hottest 100 is on again. As we all know, radio is due to die a slow and painful death. Nova will surely be the first to go, as I suspect that marketing practices like distributing Nova-branded frangers on university campuses have accrued some kind of bad karma for them. Every station without ‘triple’ in their name will be next, yes this means Triple M is safe—they’re cool because they realise that Supertramp is great and they don’t give a crap what you think.

Eventually the Web will put every last FM station out of business.

So, from the list of songs that Richard Kingsmill has tried to sell me this year, this year I decided to pick at least a couple of songs that stood a chance of making it into the 100, guess which ones they are?

1. The Butterfly Effect — Phoenix (33^rd)
2. Tom Vek — C-C (You Set The Fire In Me) (did not place)
3. System of a Down — BYOB (27^th)
4. Maximo Park — Graffiti (did not place)
5. Iron On — Learn Today Earn Tomorrow (did not place)
6. The Grates — Message (did not place)
7. Edan — Fumbling Over Words That Rhyme (did not place)
8. Death Cab for Cutie — Soul Meets Body (did not place)
9. Cog — My Enemy (32^nd)
10. Babyshambles — F—k Forever (79^th)

Honourable mentions for weird and/or cool stuff:

1. MIA — Pull Up the People (did not place)
2. Hanne Hukkelberg — Little Girl (did not place)
3. Kate Miller-Heidke — Space They Cannot Touch (did not place)
4. Pegz — Back Then (did not place)
5. System of a Down — This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I’m On This Song (did not place)

Run along to the voting site and see if you can pick ten songs out of the list, and you might win a truckload of music for your trouble.
