triple j remains consistent if nothing else. paranoid android in the top five gives me some hope. creep at 13, somehow, rids me of it again. and am i the only person to have no idea what exactly the hilltop hoods sound like? nor do i think i want to. | ||

Hilltop Hoods - Australian Hip Hop with the broadest "Westy" accent - yeah THAT bad! No one I know who likes hip hop can even stand it and yet they plug it all the time on the J's. | ||

triple j is for the tip. that list is ridiculously 90s heavy...i see both they and their listenership hasn't moved on much in the past 15 years. sabotage, blister in the sun, killing in the name of... i need a bullet - STAT! | ||

when i was in aus a few years back triple j was a staple in my brother in laws car. i thought it was ok tbh, although i remember thinking hip hop was over represented. looks like their listeners dont agree. | ||

in terms of new releases, it's pretty decent actually. but their staples (see above) are at times both strange and alienating to those of us that don't live in rural nsw and smoke excessive amounts of skunk. |
