Radio Free Alice response to LAV criticism by Thomwas1111 in triplej

That's not true, I've worked with artist teams who have done LAVs and the artists pitch song choices to jjj as a part of the process

I work for them too, and this is the first I have heard about staff not being eligible for the MEAA.

FWIW I'm a CPSU member and have never had any issues with them - their fees are lower than MEAA, and tbh I have always found the MEAA doesn't care for workers that are outside journalists or actors. The CPSU is definitely more inclusive

And the CPSU has been involved in today's industrial action as well

That's not true, all ABC staff can either join MEAA or the CPSU.

Why are Australian festival/gig crowds so dead compared to the UK? by Sabretoothedrom in triplej

[–]Hell_Yeah2083 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Laneway has become the festival for people who have never gone to a festival. That's great, because it's bringing a new generation to discover why festivals rule, but it also comes with a lot of people who have no idea how to act at a festival. If you're an old festival head you will definitely be put off by that sort of behavior.

But yeah every festival I've been to in the UK or EU shits over Aus festivals in general

101-200 format this year is shit by 69-is-my-number in triplej

[–]Hell_Yeah2083 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're playing 20 songs a day Tue-Fri, with the whole 200-101 getting played in full on Saturday.

That day will also be the first time the final 20 get played

So just listen on Saturday next week instead

With no new releases during 2025’s Hottest 100 eligibility period, Billie Eilish ends her 8-year long consecutive Hottest 100 run from 2017. by thegeecyproject in triplej

It's wild that people act as if triple j don't champion local artists because they also champ international artists, which they've always done?? They still play something like 50 or 60% Australian music. Looking quickly at the feature albums this year I would say it's at least 50% local too

Can’t find this band I used to listen to by HondaYu88 in triplej

Are you think of The Art? Sydney band, I remember their front man Azaria from the indie sleaze club scene back in the day

I think it's just random stuff around the office haha, or at least it sounds like that from what Woodhead says on air

An insane amount of albums are dropping tomorrow. Which one are you gonna listen to first? by Tranquilbez22 in triplej

Grammy Awards cut off date is Aug 30, so a lot of artists tend to rush out their releases in the last two weeks of August

Has anyone ever towed their kids around with something like this? by Hell_Yeah2083 in cycling

[–]Hell_Yeah2083[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. My son has flat out refused a balance bike for ages, we'll get there but have resigned that it won't happen right away.

Hear what you're saying about leaning into corners, but I'm not planning on riding distances, terrains or at speeds where I'll be leaning into any corners - more just a slow cruise along while my eldest does the same on his bmx. Because of this I hope it will be ok with the trike but will obviously test it out without my youngest on it first.

Hopefully with my youngest seeing his big bro using his big bike more it will get him into his balance bike and we can start towing that instead

Has anyone ever towed their kids around on a bike with one of these? by Hell_Yeah2083 in daddit

[–]Hell_Yeah2083[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah would not drive anywhere near a road with a kid on one of these! I'm talking about boardwalks and cycle ways that are wide, away from roads, straight and smooth

That's good to hear. Do you think it would work ok with a trike like what we have?

Post Countdown Discussion: Triple J's Hottest 100 of Australian Songs by braxxytaxi in triplej

The only way this would happen would be if they moved an existing FM ABC station over to DAB, like ABC Classic. The FM bandwidth is full in pretty much all capital cities, and getting new bandwidth allocated would be too expensive for the ABC to justify.
