Dimmies & Tinnies Pop-Up at The Norfolk with $3 Dim Sims, $7 Tinnies
If you're keen for a cheap feed this weekend, head on down to The Norfolk Hotel in Redfern for a delicious treat this Saturday, 19 July: A Dimmies & Tinnies pop-up, offering $3 dim sims, $7 Reschs Pilsners, and good vibes. The dimmies come in two flavours—a spicy pork with red chilli and cabbage, and chicken with sweetcorn and a bit of kombu.
Walk-ins are welcome, but you can also book your spot if you don't want to miss out.
Dimmes & Tinnies is an odd offering, having been born out of the combination of TV personality Andy Lee, NYC-based hospitality duo Eddy Buckingham and Paul Donnelly, and ceramist Sam Gordon, with the chief goal of making dim sims even more fun. How do they achieve that? Well, add tinnies.
While D&Ts will be at The Norfolk Hotel this Saturday, 19th from 12pm, this is actually the first stop on an east-coast tour of Australia. Where'll it be headed next? Keep an eye on the Dimmies & Tinnies Instagram for updates.

Taphouse Serving 'Hottest 100' Deliciousness
With triple j celebrating 50 years on the air in 2025, this year's Hottest 100 is sure to be a big one: and Darlinghurst's Taphouse is preparing to deliver its own celebration.
Next Saturday, 26 July, Taphouse will be playing the beloved music countdown throughout the venue, while offering patrons $14 Aperol Spritzes paired with a succulent Chinese meal. For those of us with a taste for beer, schooners of Mountain Culture's award winning Status Quo will be $10 — with $1 of every beer donated to youth mental health foundation Headspace.
The Hottest 100 is a staple in Australia's music culture, so if you're not celebrating the countdown with a backyard barbecue, check out Taphouse.

Australian Speedrun Marathon is Running Now!
If you're looking for something to do indoors this weekend, but still want to do some good, consider checking out the Australian Speedrun Marathon—an annual video-game speed-running event which raises money for cancer research live on Twitch. It'll be running until Sunday 20th, so you've got plenty of time to tune in.
'We are absolutely delighted to be working with the AusSpeedruns team, once again, for another Australian Speedrun Marathon,' said Alexandra Lynne, Gaming Campaign and Content Manager at Cure Cancer. 'Last year at ASM2024 the incredible AusSpeedruns community raised more than $30,000, and to date the team have raised more than $100,000 to support life-saving cancer research across a number of different events.'
This year the event will feature a bunch of fantastic games to watch, from Pokemon Heart Gold, Mario Kart 64, Donkey Kong Country, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and The Simpsons: Ht & Run. Viewers can head to the AusSpeedruns Twitch channel to watch the event, and/or can donate to the cause via Tiltify.

The Hottest 200 of Australian Songs is coming to Double J
The Hottest 100 of Australian Songs has been an amazing celebration of the music that has been important to the people of our nation. Look, we know making that list of 10 songs was hard. But hopefully it feels worth it now. We know that some of your favourite songs didn't make it, even though they really, really should have. And we know you want to know which songs just missed out on the countdown. So, all week on Double J we will count down the songs that made it to 200-101 in the official vote count. Every morning with Michael Hing, and every afternoon with Dylan Lewis, we'll count down 10 songs that didn't quite squeeze into the main list. If the Hottest 100 is anything to go by, it's going to be another amazing list of songs. If that doesn't work for you, or you just feel like throwing another party, we'll play the full list of 200-101 on Double J next Saturday 2 August. Tune into Mornings with Michael Hing and Arvos with Dylan Lewis on Double J from Monday to hear the Hottest 200 of Australian songs all week.

Triple J Hottest 100 Australian songs: Hilltop Hoods favourite for number one
Well, the day is finally here: Triple J is set to announce the Hottest 100 Australian songs of all time. Typically, the Hottest 100 is an annual countdown of the best songs of the year from all over the world. But to celebrate the youth station's 50th anniversary, Triple J is staging a countdown of the greatest ever homegrown tracks. Audiences have been voting for months to unearth Australia's favourite song. Even Prime Minister Anthony Albanese got in on the act, nominating The Angels' Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again and Cold Chisel's Flame Trees in his list. According to Triple J, more than 2.65 million votes, were submitted during the voting period with the 18 to 29-year-old demographic submitting the most votes. Loading But the countdown has not been without controversy. Earlier this month Australian artist Ben Lee told this masthead that, while a one-off countdown to promote Australian music was a positive step, Triple J should consider turning the annual Hottest 100 into a celebration of Australian only music. 'It's a bit of a snooze-fest, if I'm honest,' he said.
