triple j's Hottest 100 Of Australian Songs: The Complete List
The top 3 was rounded out by Aussie hip-hop veterans' Hilltop Hoods' 2003 anthem 'Nosebleed Section at number #2 and The Veronicas' 'Untouched' at #3.
INXS – 'Never Tear Us Apart'
A stack of legacy artists bagged multiple entries, with INXS also snagging the #59th spot on the list with 'Need You Tonight', Hilltop Hoods bagging an additional two spots with 'Hilltop Hoods – '1955 [Ft. Montaigne, Tom Thum]' coming in at #73 and 'Cosby Sweater' at #64.
Elsewhere, Jimmy Barnes and Bernard Fanning both got a big guernsey, with Barnsey getting up with 'Working Class Man' (#56) as well as a pair of Cold Chisel tracks – 'Khe Sanh' and 'Flame Trees' voted in back-to-back at #7 and #8 in the top 10.
Fanning snagged four total entries with his solo track 'Wish You Well' hitting #57, and Powderfinger Odyssey Number 5 banger 'My Happiness' cracking the top 10 at #6, while 'These Days' came in at #14 and '(Baby I've Got You) On My Mind' nabbed #70.
Meanwhile, other veteran acts live Crowded House, Midnight Oil, AC/DC and Silverchair all nabbed three songs apiece.
On the more modern side of things, Gang Of Youths also scored a hattrick (#87 'The Deepest Sighs, The Frankest Shadows', #60 'Let Me Down Easy', #42 'Magnolia').
The newest song to make the countdown was Amyl & The Sniffers' 'Hertz' from 2021, voted in at #89.
Triple j's decision to launch the first ever Australian-only Hottest 100 ballot coincides with the youth broadcaster celebrating its 50th year on air, and follows criticism off the back of January's Hottest 100 of 2024, which was widely noted for its lack of local representation in favour of big international superstars such as Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Lola Young, Gracie Abrams, Kendrick Lamar and Fred Again dominating the countdown.

Rod Stewart's AI-Generated Ozzy Osbourne Controversy, Explained
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - FEBRUARY 26: Singer Rod Stewart performs on stage at the Acer Arena on February 26, 2008 in Sydney, Australia. (Photo by Don Arnold/WireImage) WireImage Singer Rod Stewart sparked backlash after his concert featured an AI-generated tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne, which struck many as distasteful. Osbourne passed away last month at the age of 76—his death inspired an outpouring of love and affection from his fans and peers, but Stewart's AI-generated tribute invoked unease. Rod Stewart has been paying tribute to Osbourne ever since he passed away, with Stewart regularly dedicating his song 'Forever Young' to the Black Sabbath star during his 'One Last Time' tour. Stewart's concert on August 1 featured a new addition to the 'Forever Young' tribute—a bizarre, AI-generated video of Osbourne taking selfies with deceased celebrities, standing before a cloudy background meant to represent Heaven. Celebrities featured in the AI-generated video include Prince, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, XXXTentacion, Tupac Shakur, Freddie Mercury, Bob Marley, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse. The fact that many of these late stars suffered tragic, untimely deaths adds to the ghoulishness of the display—all are shown grinning inanely at the camera, animated by the digital necromancy of generative AI. Concertgoers quickly shared their reaction on social media, along with online commentators who did not attend the show. Relatives of XXXTentacion and Tupac Shakur told TMZ that they had no problems with the AI-generated tribute, but many fans felt otherwise. One commentator described the tribute as a 'sign of stupidity'—many reckoned it was 'creepy and tasteless.' Another expressed shock at the contents of the video, and concluded, 'We truly are in the end times.' The condemnation echoed the words of the legendary Studio Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki, whose negative reaction to a generative AI presentation became something of a rallying cry for anti-AI artists. Musing on what he had just witnessed, a dispirited Miyazaki said, 'I feel like we are nearing the end times. We humans are losing faith in ourselves.' The Backlash Against Generative AI Continues Generative AI has been controversial since release—it's an energy-intensive invention built on the output of artists without their consent, threatening the livelihood of workers and polluting the internet with machine-made content. Recent concerns about AI involve the altering of real video and imagery, such as the reshaping of The Wizard of Oz to fit the Las Vegas Sphere. Lately, AI enthusiasts have been using the technology for a more unsettling purpose, posting pictures of their deceased relatives that they have 'animated' using AI, old photographs imbued with the appearance of life. Many commentators react to these re-animated clips with visceral disgust and horror, often citing works of fiction that warn against meddling with memories, or attempting to reanimate the dead. The AI-generated Ozzy Osbourne tribute feels like a step toward the normalization of such practices, trivializing the memory of the deceased with images and videos that do not feature their true self, but a machine-made echo of their likeness. It wasn't long ago that generative AI crossed a technological boundary, capable of creating convincing video of anyone, doing anything—now, it's forcing the dead to smile for the camera.

The Jurassic Park islands and dinos are coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
Jurassic World: Archipelago is a new expansion pack for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 that lets aspiring pilots explore the five islands of the fictional Cinco Muertes Archipelago featured in the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies. Created by Australian developer Orbx that's known for its flight sim add-ons, the expansion lets you visit many locations from the films while the islands will be teeming with more than 10 different species of dinosaurs. According to an FAQ on Orbx Studios' website, the Jurassic World: Archipelago expansion is an official collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences and will be available sometime in late August or early September, 2025. It will initially launch for all versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on Xbox and PC, but is compatible with the entry-level Standard Edition which is also available through Xbox Game Pass. The studio says it's also 'working towards making compatible products for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and X-Plane 12.' The expansion lets you visit the five new islands — including Isla Nublar, Sorna, Matanceros, Peña, and Tacaño — as they were before the events of 2015's Jurassic World 'when the park is operational but not everything is under control.' You'll be able to fly over Isla Nublar and see the park alive with activity, while the breeding facilities on Isla Sorna, as seen in The Lost World: Jurassic Park, remain abandoned and overgrown. Jurassic World: Archipelago includes new flying challenges like transporting VIPs between the islands and nearby Costa Rica and conducting guided tours. You can visit the facilities and theme park structures seen in the various films and land at recognizable airfields and helipads, all while dodging the local wildlife that includes brachiosaurus, stegosaurus, velociraptor, and flying pteranodons.
