Well i think i've forund our latest potential nerd invasion! The Impossible Music Festival is on Triple J again guys. For those that aren't aware of it, it's a weekend of the station playing nothing but live sets. This year you get to vote for 3 bands. It doesn't tell you which show/era will be available, but i'd guess it will be one from the height of the bands popularity, i could be wrong. So get voting guys, lets get a whole set of Smashing Pumpkins music on radio  www.abc.net.au/triplej/livemusic/default.htm |

Nice Steve, I'll post and article and spread the word ...  I guess for JJJ its either the request fest from 1996 or the 1998 show. EDIT: Just read they are doing stuff from BBC this year too ... awesome! Hopefully we'll get something good then  |

1. Smashing Pumpkins - One of the greatest live acts of all time, that have played some amazing shows on Triple J and the BBC over the years ... time to share them with Australia!
2. The Cure - I just know there are some hidden gems in the vault, time to dust one of the recording off and play it.
3. Manic Street Preachers - They only came to Australia once, and with a song called Australia ... it would be amazing to hear them on JJJ again.
Woooo Manic Street Preachers (yeah Kez! represent!)

So I've sent out a mass PM ... But in case you missed it! SONG: Smashing Pumpkins - Geek USA REQUEST HERE: www.abc.net.au/triplej/requests/make_a_request.htmDO IT! ... I've gone through the list of people voting, went through about 25 pages ... each page had at least 1 person voting for Pumpkins ... disappointing. |

yeah I'm sure there was more pumpkins support than some of the other ones out there.
Amy Winehouse, Died Pretty, Hunters and Collecters? this isn't a critique of the musical stylings of these bands, but a question of their popularity. HUNTERS AND FUCKING COLLECTERS. HOW MANY BOGANS LISTEN TO TRIPLE J

Died Pretty is a weird inclusion, i guess theyve had somewhat of a resurgence from playing dont look back, but surprising that many people would have voted for them
