Banter RDT 167 - Proof of Vaccination Required

[Agent93]

Seeing the Wildcats and the Scorchers dominate on the road tonight under tough conditions just further emphasises for me how mentally soft the Eagles have been last two years

I've been sleeping on the Cats, but watching the Scorchers get on with it over the past two months compared with the Eagles effort in then hub in 2021...

Laurie Evans was on the mic last night and mentioned how tight knit the group are, so I wonder where the tension was with the Eagles that they couldn't reach the same level of cohesion.

It turns out that I'm old and prefer 'popular' music from 20 years ago.

(Double J is cranking the Hottest 100 of 2001 atm, it's far more enjoyable than yesterday's 100)

System of a Down robbed.

 

[WCErevival]

I don't follow music on commercial radio anymore, and it's been a number of years since I listened to JJJ, but is the Hottest 100 now just chockers with mainstream music?

Hasnt it always been?

 

[Mr Eagle]

System of a Down robbed.

Alien Ant Farm robbed.

 

[Barrybran]

Alien Ant Farm robbed.

17yo me listened to that ALL. THE. TIME.

Pfft, one hit wonders.

Barry are you okay, are you okay, are you okay Barry?

Hell of a finish between Green Bay and SF

Wow

 

[squashface]

Pretty silly that The Wiggles playing someone else's song is apparently the best song of the year.

I guess it sums up how 2021 was ultimately a pretty poor year for music.

Like a versions shouldn't be counted in the countdown. Should be for new music only.

Packers picked a hell of a time to lose their first game at Lambeau for the year.

So many kids trying to be different and edgy by voting for The Wiggles ended up making them not different at all, and this is the result.

At least my 3 year old liked the finish. He sent it when #1 played.

 

[Mr Eagle]

Noice.

 

[Dazzler9]

Hasnt it always been?

Always tended to be alternative stuff. Some of it made it onto commercial radio, eventually, but I would never have described JJJ as mainstream.

 

[Barrybran]

That was awesome. Didn't realise Renegades of Funk was that late though.

You go back through the lists in the 90s and there are a lot of pretty mainstream bands and songs in there. Whether the song starts on triple J or not is sort of irrelevant. With social media and streaming, people are onto songs pretty quickly now so they dont necessarily sit on triple j for 12 months before they get out.

Yeah, exactly. The industry, like movies, TV series, etc, is so fragmented now. It works entirely differently. Those of us whose youth is receding into the distance just have to accept this crazy new world.

Been the same for a few years now. Triple J hypes up Like a Version so much it’s no wonder listeners all vote for them. Plus everything is a cover/remake these days, whether it’s music or movies.

Australia Day plans?
Think I'll head in the opposite direction to the city and take the dogs to the beach or something

 

[Truckosaurus]

Sleep in and don't go to work.

 

[Godfather32]

Sleep in and don't go to work.

I struggle to sleep in
I reckon 8am is the latest I've slept in for years, even after a big night on the beers

 

[Truckosaurus]

I'm usually up for work at 5:30 so 8am is a great sleep in for me. I can't do it on the Monday public holidays because our bins get picked up at 7am sharp.

 

[Truckosaurus]

And sometimes on Mondays I'm woken by someone going through the bins looking for cans. If I was more charitable about being woken up early I'd have let the 5am guy know that the midnight guy had beaten him to the punch.

The most interesting thing I read in that article is Ch9 has apparently thrown $2mil at the family for rights to their story. That's a lot of money.
