What should win Triple J's Hottest 100 of Australian Songs? The choice is obvious
In celebration of 50 years as Australia's national youth radio station, Triple J will count down the 100 greatest Australian songs of all time. We listeners were brutally asked to narrow down a half-century of music into just 10 votes each – heroes, all of us. Our reward is a wonderful wander down musical memory lane: dodging glasses in the rowdy pubs of the '70s, bouncing in the sticky-floored warehouses of the '90s dance scene, sweating and shouting at the massive stages of the Big Day Out, cheering as 2010s indie giants blow up online and make waves overseas. Inevitably, the top echelon of this special Hottest 100 will be dominated by classic Aussie anthems such as My Happiness by Powderfinger, Khe Sanh by Cold Chisel, Back in Black by AC/DC, and Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again? by the Angels. It will be fun, undoubtedly. It also might be a bit … predictable. But the Hottest 100 is not supposed to be predictable. From its inception, the Hottest 100 has been a musical celebration primarily governed by chaos (lest we forget top-three finishes by Denis Leary, Chumbawumba, the Tenants, and Justin Bieber beaten only by the Wiggles). The novelty is part of the charm – the power of democracy to surprise, delight and horrify. More importantly, Australian music is so much more than the pub rock sound we were defined by for so long. The winner of this Hottest 100 should be representative of the world-shaking, boundary-pushing music that Australian artists have proven capable of. It should be exciting. It should be weird. It should be Frontier Psychiatrist by Melbourne electronic pioneers the Avalanches. There could be no more perfect winner of the Hottest 100 of Australian Songs than a groundbreakingly experimental, absurdly fun, enduringly influential and utterly bizarre breakout hit, a song so powerful it launched Australian music into the 21st century and set the tone for an era more creatively diverse and internationally renowned than any that came before it. The most unexpected breakout hit in Australian music history, Frontier Psychiatrist is a work of insane genius. It kicks off with a horse whinny, then barrels into a story about a psychopathic school kid. It cuts up western movies and old comedy routines and wildly diverse musical bits and pieces, and somehow transforms them into a relatively coherent piece of manic surrealism. It's hilarious, unexpectedly epic and disarmingly danceable. It also has Hottest 100 pedigree: it finished at No.6 in the 2000 countdown, and No.27 in the Hottest 100 of the Past 20 Years in 2013. It was track 13 on the Avalanches' debut record, Since I Left You, which was voted No.9 in the Greatest Australian Album of All Time Hottest 100 in 2011.

Feel-Good Friday: 18 July, 2025—Dim Sims, Speedruns, and Hottest 100 Parties
By Dean Blake - News Published: 18 Jul 2025 Share Copy Link Readtime: 3 min Every product is carefully selected by our editors and experts. If you buy from a link, we may earn a commission. Learn more. For more information on how we test products, click here. It's the end of the week, and you know what that means: another instalment of Man of Many's Feel-Good Friday! Every week we look to bring some fun ideas for things you can do this weekend, as well as some easy opportunities for you to do some good in the world. This week, we're showing off some cheap meals, and an upcoming celebration of triple j's 2025 Hottest 100, as well as a chance for all the gamers out there to do some more good for cancer research. Without further ado, here's this week's Feel-Good Friday. Dimmies & Tinnies | Image: Supplied 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, Darlinghurst | Image: Supplied 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. 'Mario Kart World' | Image: Nintendo 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.
