I love voting, not because I am a music snob (like most that vote on Triple J religiously every year) but because when I go through the list, there is SO much I've never heard of, so I spend hours YouTube-ing random songs and bands because I might like the name, or it just stands out.
And just like that, new music.
Here was my top 10;
Grouplove - Itchin' On A Photograph
Gypsy & The Cat - Parallel Universe
The Kooks - Junk Of The Heart (Happy)
The Jezabels - Endless Summer
Washington - Holy Moses
Florence & The Machine - Shake It Out
Foster The People - Don't Stop
Friendly Fires - Hawaiian Air
Architecture In Helsinki - Escapee
Yuksek - On A Train
Usually I pick songs that have some kind of meaing to me and my year. For example; Grouplove was one of the first albums I got when I moved into my new house, and I had an extremely bare room, so their poster was the only bit of colour I could bring to it.
At the beginning of the year I made a goal for myself to start my CD collection again, Architecture in Helsinki was one of the albums I bought while working in the city next to JB Hi Fi, I would go in every lunch break and literally stand at the CD table for an hour and pick out music to take home.
I picked The Jezabels as my number one.
It reminds me of my friends and my home town. It makes me happy and sad all at once.
Enjoy.
