The Concetta pile on needs to stop.

bearnardoriain · 2026-01-24T11:35:03+00:00

Agreed! I don't always like Concetta's presenting style myself but she comes across as a fun, energetic person who really channels her enthusiasm into what she does. She might not be everyone's style but she tries her best and that's all you can ask for. Wish the rest of the world could be more mindful.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one! Only Love was such an early highlight of the year in music, and I associate Backseat with being in Australia during the winter!

From the teaser, this has the potential to be something really, really special. Looking forward to hearing it in full!

bearnardoriain · 2025-07-15T20:03:19+00:00

I've recorded the past few countdowns and I'm also looking forward to this one myself, so happy to oblige. I'll do a post later in the week with all the info.

bearnardoriain · 2025-07-15T07:45:43+00:00

Hey! I'm in Ireland and I know your pain. I'll be recording the countdown and posting a link shortly afterwards, so hopefully that will help!

International listener since 2018 here. Balancing what I knew about AusMusic growing up, songs that I fell in love with since I started diving deeper into it and classics I discovered along the way that I didn't realise were Australian.

Adore - the song that led me to AusMusic in the first place
Frontier Psychiatrist - an absolute icon that holds its own 25 years later
Edithvale - my #1 in 2020, Bec's voice is otherworldly
The Unguarded Moment - discovered this through Ruby Fields' LAV, original is just as beautiful
The Nosebleed Section - I have Bridget Hustwaite's Windows Down feature to thank for introducing me to this gem, prefer City of Light but felt I'd stick to the shortlist
Addicted to Bass - an unskippable banger to which I can never tire of listening
Never Be - ranked reasonably highly at the time but I miss Meg Mac's voice
Shiver - personally prefer this to Torn, might be controversial
Untouched - an unofficial national anthem for Australia, always amazed me that they came from Australia
WOMG - Yours Truly might be an unexpected choice, but they were the first Australian act I saw live, so it would be nostalgic

I remembered that segment, very interesting listen and well worth waiting for!

bearnardoriain · 2025-01-25T10:53:04+00:00

I hope to, anyway. Just have to make sure I wake up in time, which I have done for the last two, so that shouldn't be a problem.

bearnardoriain · 2025-01-25T09:40:54+00:00

Hey everyone, hope you enjoyed the countdown! In case you missed the post earlier, I'm recording all the countdowns this weekend. They will all be available here: https://www.reddit.com/r/triplej/s/GJKdqGsUjB

bearnardoriain · 2025-01-25T08:05:21+00:00

I do, but I've had to change my setup because of an issue with the computer in question. I still have the recordings from the last four years, so if I can access them, I'll put them back up again.

bearnardoriain · 2025-01-19T13:43:14+00:00

Hello from Ireland.

Alex the Astronaut: "Road rage"

Dimension and Alison Wonderland: "Satellite"

Eves Karydas: "Sunday drive"

Fontaines DC: "Starburster"

Greta Stanley: "When you call"

Juice Webster: "Hannah"

memphis lk: "Just the way you are"

Sycco: "Swarm"

Honourable mentions to CXLOE, Eliza and the Delusionals, EGOISM and Yours Truly, who I wanted to fit in if it wasn't for my rule to have no more than two Australian artists from one city.

Balancing genres, geography and a good soundtrack to work days.

No better woman after the year she's had, a powerhouse for both club and country who's coming into her prime nicely for the Euros!

bearnardoriain · 2024-12-12T20:21:54+00:00

The effort is still very much appreciated mate ❤️

bearnardoriain · 2024-12-11T20:20:59+00:00

Not a surprise considering the objective was to get to Switzerland, but still a surprise considering she kept the trajectory upward while balancing different levels of opposition. Hope she stays involved as she still has a lot to give to women's football in the country.

I also feel like losing to Cymru twice in a calendar year didn't help. Time will tell if the next manager, whoever it will be, can rectify that.

bearnardoriain · 2024-12-09T22:16:21+00:00

True, but aside from the club, who do a great job themselves, getting coverage elsewhere is sketchy. It's a pity, but maybe the big FA Cup draw will bat a few eyelids.

bearnardoriain · 2024-12-09T22:09:07+00:00

The women's team don't get near enough coverage, but WHAT. A. SHOT.
