(Doing The Sums 2010) Are You Joe Average?

The Bawley crew love (or is it love to hate) the triple j Hottest 100, which-ever. The only thing we love more than the Hottest 100 is our own (Doing the Sums) Are You Joe Average quiz. (see: 2007, 2008, Hottest 100 of all time, 2009)

Here is how it works:

1. Write out a list of the songs you voted for in the triplej Hottest 100.

2. Write down the position each of these came in the triplej Hottest 100

3. If a song did not make the list put down 101.

4. Add up the scores, and divide by the number of songs you voted for.

5. Post your results as a comment to this blog entry.

How to interpret your score:

1-13: Paint me a rainbow there must be lots of (Little) Red and (Cee-Lo) Green in your life.

14-27: Your Radar Detector is tuned to Austereo?

28-40: Very vanilla

41-52: "Here I am stuck in the middle with you"

53-65: Pretty pedestrian, but you probably have one weirdo friend who is rubbing off on you more than you realise.

66-77: Kinda quirky in a cute way.

78-89: Kinda quirky in a "slowly back away..." way.

90-100: You're a f***ing freak, man

101: Did you vote for songs, or flavours of ice cream????

Cold Result on a Hot Day

January Songs: 31 songs in 31 days from Darren Hayman

Hefner were one of the great little lo-fi indie bands of the late 90's, somewhere between Pulp and Belle and Sebastian. They made some brilliant albums, my favourite being 1999's The Fidelity Wars.

Since they split up in 2002, frontman Darren Hayman has released several albums under several different names, but he's temporarily abandoned the album format to make and release a song a day, for every day in January. Each song will be available free for a few days on Soundcloud, after which point they'll be available to buy. Each will be accompanied by videos and things on the January Songs website.

He freely admits that the songs "won't all be good but some might be" - but judging by the first one - "It was Over" - a typically ramshackle tale of drunkeness and failed relationships, they're going to be worth keeping an eye on.

The Bawley 100 – New Years Eve 2010/2011

The world of end-of-year lists has been thrown into disarray by the release of several private files stolen from deep within the usually secretive Bawley community, available to view on the notorious website BawleyLeaks. One Bawley contributor condemned the leaks as “an attack on his freedom to judge the artistic merits of others”. Another Bawley representative has dismissed the release as imperialist propaganda.

The stolen data, which has subsequently appeared on ipod and spotify playlists, contains a number of not so shocking revelations.

It is thought that the Bawley crew now faces a personal and professional crisis following the publication of the information in the public domain. So damaging are the leaks that the original Bawley team has returned to their Bawley Point base to plan their next move of music snobbery.
