Jess Cornelius - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

I guess we can still claim Jess Cornelius as Australian/New Zealand although she lives in LA. 

And bonus points to Cheryl Waters for being able to pronounce Melbourne properly.

Well it's Triple-J Hottest 100 time where I try to get caught up on what the kids have been listening to for the past year.

This was the year of G Flip who had a bunch of tracks on the list. She's worth a listen and seems like a nice person. Number 1 was Paint the Town Red by Doja Cat who sounds like she was channeling Cibo Matto. There are worse things imo.

DMA's Cher cover takes out triple j's first ever Hottest 100 Like a Version

Triple J radio in Australia has a band or artist come in each week to play one of their songs and do their version of someone else's. This week they played the top 100 versions (Get it? Like a version? Those zany kids.) I must be old because the top covers did not impress me, except for the Wiggles. And my pick for number one would have been Angus and Julia Stone's cover of Tubthumping. Still it wasn't a bad idea and there are some I want to listen to more closely.

She said she was not letting the mud get her down.

"It's all part of the experience," she said.

"I haven't lost my gumboots yet so we're going well."

That's a segment from Countdown, the Australian popular music show hosted by Molly Meldrum. He was a rank amateur who's enthusiasm carried him to success and really brought rock music to the dusty corners of Australia. It was filmed live and there were some infamous moments (you can also search YouTube for his interview with Prince Charles that was amazingly painful). Anyway, on the 100th episode celebration, Molly was "tired and emotional":


That's awesome though.

I think I remember someone in the Hoodoo Gurus talking about them; back in the day they weren't something you could just go down to the record store and get. I have an Australian compilation somewhere, or used to, that had a Skyhooks track on it. I don't remember what song or if I even liked it.

Well that sent me down a shameful rabbit hole. I have no idea where I heard the band, then, because the compilation I was thinking of was not Mercury; that much I knew. I did know that I bought it out of a bin of "Australia" imports at a shop on Haight St., and that's where my original idea that Wire were an Australian band came from (long since corrected, but it left a mark). So looking up "Dot Dash" on discogs, I found it was this compilation, with the Saints leading off the tracks so that's where the Aussie connection comes in. But the LP is on Harvest, and was a New Zealand promo. Close enough for the 80s, I guess.

I remember one of the guys from INXS talking about their influence some time back in the mid-'80s.

Another band who had a major influence on Oz music during the 80's was Mondo Rock.
This song was underplayed by radio at the time due to it's salacious lyrics.
