Wow, it didn't seem like that long when I had picked out my top 10 choices for Triple J's Hottest 100 for 2005 and I'm back to do Triple J's Hottest 100 for 2006. This year there were great choices on the list which could easily fill out the top 10 but I had to be a bit picky this time.

There's a mix bunch in the bag this time around, I had to choose some songs from my favourite artists and along with that some songs I just love. Anyways, here's my list:

- Against Me! - Unprotected Sex…

Haven't written on here for awhile. I've been seeing a lot of Sean Lennon lately, in magazines, television, etc. I assume he has a new album coming out? I have to admit though, I've never heard of Sean Lennon before but hearing Dead Meat has me interested… Dead Meat sort of reminds me of a Elliott Smith song. So what's a song or even album by Sean Lennon that I should check out?

I've had a MySpace account for awhile but never used it, only recently (yesterday) have I decided to make it a bit active. So how about adding…

I noticed recently going through my iTunes library that there are many artists I don't listen to nowadays. I think the problem I have at the moment is that I suffer from having too much music in my library. I have over 5,000 songs and it seems difficult to try to listen to a lot of the artists I have enjoyed in the past. I've moved away from many of my past top artists such as Elliott Smith, Gyroscope and Pixies within maybe a month. Now I wonder how some people do it with well over 5,000 songs in…

My Top 10
1) Gyroscope
2) Against Me!
3) McLusky
4) ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead
5) Pixies
6) OK Go
7) Ted Leo and The Pharmacists
8) Architecture in Helsinki
9) The Arcade Fire
10) Mindless Self Indulgence

– What was the first song you ever heard by 6 (OK Go)?
Invincible

– What is your favourite album of 2 (Against Me!)?
Searching For A Former Clarity

– What is your favourite lyric that 5 (Pixies) has sung?
Monkey Gone To Heaven

"If man is 5,
Then the devil is 6,
Then God is…

I was demanded to vote for the Triple J’s Hottest 100. I thought, ‘Sure, there’s no harm in doing so. It’ll only take a minute.’ Was I wrong… Took me awhile to go through great 2005 songs and then after that to cut that down to 10 songs. I ended up with:

- Will You Smile Again? - …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
- Don’t Lose Touch - Against Me!
- Bastard - Ben Folds
- First Day Of My Life - Bright Eyes
- Sixteen Military Wives - The Decemberists
- Walk Away -…

I wonder if anyone can answer this. I had purchased various albums using iTunes Music Store and I have heard you need authorization for different computers to play the songs you had purchased. I was wondering, if you burn an album onto an audio CD, will you still need authorization access to play the CD on a computer or will it act as a normal purchase CD allowing anyone to play the songs?

I ask the question as I want to swap a friend an album for an album which were both purchased through the iTunes Music Store. Though it…

For my 9th journal entry and my 300th post (I post too much) on Last.fm, I thought I would just do a favourite CDs entry. If you want, you can suggest some CDs, comment on my selection or even contribute with your own favourite CDs so far but that is if you want.

The list may not contain all favourite selections because I may forget a few that aren't on my iTunes library playlist. The italics will represent what I believe are perfect albums or you can say, I just like all the songs on the CD.

Monday and Tuesday I have School Certificate exams, I should actually be studying for such subjects as History, Geography and Science but I am sucked in by the music I'm playing and the Internet. Luckily this exam isn't the most important as I'm attending year 11 and 12 to do my Higher School Certificate. I have to promise myself to study very hard for that to make my mummy and daddy proud.

Yeah, not very music-related so… I will say… That "Scabdates" isn't as good as I was hoping it to be. And those who said "Yoshimi…
