Go The Bogan... Goooooo!

Thought I would just drop a quick blog entry whilst sipping a Gin and Cranberry juice on a lazy Sunday evening. Don’t worry, she’ll be short and sweet. The weekend has been swell. I’m moving house soon so most of it has been spent buying bits and pieces I need including a new bed and plasma TV. Went out for dinner last night with some good friends to a fantastic restaurant called Pan Asian on Chapel Street. If you’re not a pleb and love good modern asian cuisine and decent wine then best you check this place out. The pork cheek is to die for! I also witnessed the greatest gap to ever walk the earth. Love a good gap. You little beauty!

Anyway the main reason for this blog… I just entered my top 10 songs for the Triple J hottest 100 of all time. It’s a tough ask to narrow it down to 10 songs and I’ve been sitting on my shortlist of about 30 for a week or so. Anyway here is what I came up with in no particular order-

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds- Straight To You.
One of the greatest love ballards ever written in a way only Nick Cave could.

Nirvana- Smells Like Teen Spirit.
The song defined a generation. I remember getting my mosh on at the bluelight disco to this. Eveyone was so stoked on it.

Television- Marquee Moon.
Epic song. So hauntingly good, all 10 or so minutes of it.

NWA- Express yourself.
Another song from my youth. Such a cool beat.

You Am I- Rumble.
I used to play this song before running out onto the footy ground. Great song from one of the most underrated bands going around.

Outkast- Hey Ya!
What a brilliant song. If you don’t like this track, you don’t like music. It’s got it all. The song reminds me of my uni days and working at Jetty Surf, dancing on the counters and junk. It’s just got such a party vibe.

AC/DC- Whole Lotta Rosie.
A song about getting your rocks off with a huge broad… gold! The riff in this track is one of the best going around.

Michael Jackson- Smooth Criminal.
I remember seeing the video for this track as a kid and going wow! It just makes me wanna cut rug.
Amazing.

Bjork- Hyperballard.
I really don’t know what to say about it. Brilliant piece of music.

Bruce Springsteen- Atlantic City.
The Boss is a guru and this is probably my favorite track of his.  It’s just so raw.

Anyway that is all. Hope everyone had a ripper weekend. Carn’ the doggies! Until next time…

God bless ya!
