Alright, time for some discussion on what yr all listening too. My iTunes inventory is getting a little stale so I'm up for some inspiration.

Currently loving The Drones' album "Havilah".. incredible songwriting and some of the best recorded guitars and drum I've heard in a long time. I'm a little late to the party with this album but it's on high rotation at the moment and will probably stay there a while. I've seen these guys live once (Fowlers, Adelaide) and fortunately they're incredible on stage too. Can't wait to see them again.

Not quite an emergency call.. but still, what an honour! Now I just gotta remember how to play the tunes. Fortunately being Grun, a 30 min set will probably be three songs plus tuning.

Hottest 100 Oz songs on the J's is turning out to be pretty great. I've been on double J for a few years now so I had low hopes but it's been a pretty good mix.

Have read lots of complaints about recency bias. Don't have a problem with the kids liking different stuff. INXS and Hilltop Hoods seems a fair top 2.
Edit: the Veronica's? Who dat?

Yep same and I didn't vote so I can't complain about any recency bias. And it was never a station for people my age anyway.

I never got the love for the Veronicas but good on em for hanging around.
