This week, Aussie non-commercial alternative radio station, Triple J, held its Hottest 100 Songs of All Time as voted by its listeners.

It was a particularly cold and dreary day on which they played through numbers 50-to-1, so I decided (read: couldn’t be bothered getting out of my PJs and away from computer and heater) to Tweet my way through them. 

Here’s some of my inert running commentary:

• Silverchair are embarrassed by the immaturity of Tomorrow but what about “You’re the analyst, the fungus in my milk”, like, TEN YEARS LATER?!
• Thom Yorke recorded Fake Plastic Trees in one take, then burst into tears = Thom Yorke cries after a wank?
• Reckon if we play Thriller loud enough, MJ might climb back up to the surface and do the dance again? …Too soon?
• Teardrop by Massive Attack. So good. V.glad Madonna didn’t sing it as per original plan. I like my trip-hop to be pole-dance-free.
• Reckon if we play These Days loud enough, Heath Ledger might climb back up to the surface and do the dance again? …Too soon?
• Mixed feelings about Bittersweet Symphony (I’m here till Thursday, try the veal, etc)
• Bless you, Jonny Greenwood, for trying to destroy Creep with grindy guitar noises. You’re way cuter than Thom.
• “Radiohead’s DNA worked its way into Vanilla Sky“? OMG, my comedy gland just ruptured…
• “Oasis could do no wrong”? Uh…
• I could never like Wonderwall after a stalker sang it at me.
• Under the Bridge! *gets out lighter* *accidently sets fire to post-1995 Chili Peppers albums* *realises it wasn’t an accident*
• Reckon if we play Last Goodbye loud enough, Jeff Buckley might climb back up to the surface and do the dance again?
• Love you Jeff. For realz. Would totally become a zombie if it meant I could marry you. HOT.
• Bohemian Rhapsody plays. Neck and spine specialists rub hands together with glee.
• @triplej drags out lead-up to top 5 like Eddie Maguire drags out answer to million-dollar question
• Love you Thom. For realz. Would totally become a zombie if it meant I could marry Jonny Greenwood. HOT.
• Take Five by Dave Brubeck Quartet for number one!
• Seriously, did the Joy Division frontman also do vocals for The Monster Mash?
• It took Jeff Buckley 20 takes to record Hallelujah – and I bet he still didn’t cry afterwards. I’m looking at you Thom Yorke.
• I loved Jeff Buckley and Radiohead most when I was most depressed. Australia, is there a boy you like who doesn’t like you back?
• Reckon if we play Teen Spirit loud enough, Kurt Cobain might climb back up to the surface and do the dance again?
