It's still #alternateFridayMusic 🎉 and the cue this week is: #vitriol Taken the time to look into the mirror and laugh at rock stars who've bitten off a little bit more than they can chew? Wouldn't mind something you can sink your teeth into? I'm taking it up a notch: Ground Components - On Your Living Room Floor This track still resonates and punches 20 years later. 🎶 It's not always about, what's bigger and better It's not always about, driving faster 🎶 When #triplej starting dropping this track in 2006, I referred to this as "the angry song" for a while because I never caught the back-announce. Fastforward 20 years and it's hard to find a high quality upload so I uploaded it myself. @dgar@aus.social  @electric_gumball@mastodon.social @Bishopjoey@writing.exchange @fc@universeodon.com #ausMusic 2/4

I'll say this...

• Napster launched in 1999
• The iPod in 2001
• The Pirate Bay in 2003
• Spotify in 2006
• Bandcamp in 2008
• Rdio in 2010 (good old Rdio... RIP)
• Apple Music in 2015

... It's amazing that Triple J has any cultural relevance in the year 2026.

News! A 28 year old listener to Triple J thinks they have gone too mainstream! "What’s the point of Triple J’s Hottest 100? Once an incubator for Australia’s indie music scene, Triple J’s Hottest 100 is now little more than a tired listicle. By Shaad D’Souza."
