The Bawley 100 - New Years Eve 2024/2025

Living a Bawley Summer

As the summer unfolded, I found myself immersed in a whirlwind of music and emotions. Rooted in the concept of living by the emotional vibe of the Bawley 100, it was a season of discovery and transformation. The Bawley 100 didn’t just provide a soundtrack; it guided me through a journey of intensity and introspection with absurdity and raw energy. Each day felt like a chapter, each song a milestone, and together they wove a narrative that would define My Bawley Summer.

My Rules for Living a Bawley Summer

1. Embrace Raw Rebellion

A Bawley Summer thrives on unrestrained energy and passion. The rebellious spirit fuels spontaneous adventures, bold decisions, and an unapologetic embrace of the playlist. It’s about defying norms and reveling in the freedom that a wildly ranked 100-song playlist inspires.

2. Seek Dreamlike Escapism

A Bawley Summer carves out space for ethereal calm and dreamy detachment. These moments of serenity offer an escape from intensity, fostering peace and wonder. Embracing the dreamlike vibe encourages slowing down and immersing oneself in the playlist.

3. Get Lost with Experimental Exploration

Pushing boundaries is central to a Bawley Summer—whether through art, style, or the unexpected sequencing of songs. It’s a time to step outside comfort zones, explore creatively, and discover the magic of the ranked year end list.

---

Lessons Learned

A Bawley Summer isn’t just a mood; it’s a philosophy. My Bawley Summer taught me the value of embracing the list vibe, finding beauty in chaos, and seeking solace deep in the top 100.

1. Emotions Are Fluid

The dynamic playlist highlighted the importance of riding emotional waves—whether they were ecstatic, contemplative, or stormy—and letting the list guide the emotional journey.

2. Music as a Compass

The songs became my guide, helping me navigate the monotony of AI-curated playlists and rediscovering the joy of purposeful listing.

3. Balance Is Key

Alternating between rebellion and reflection, intensity and calm, ensured my Bawley Summer avoided aural burnout. It offered both exhilaration and peace, creating a perfectly balanced end of year list.

---

Conclusion

My Bawley Summer was a season like no other—a vivid blend of emotional exploration and fearless living, all guided by the intricate vibe of the year-end playlist. It celebrated imperfection, intensity, and individuality, leaving behind not just memories but a new philosophy for embracing life.

If summers and playlists are remembered by how deeply they are lived, then my Bawley Summer and the 2024 Bawley 100 will echo in my mind for years to come. #bawleysummer

The Bawley 100 - New Years Eve 2023/2024

National Bawley Network Outage Triggers Government Inquiry and Customer Complaints

A Bawley technician says 2023’s multi-hour list outage was the result of a routine list ordering upgrade that took the National Bawley Network offline. Recovery required staff to physically re-listen to songs buried deep in their Spotify Wrapped and Apple Replay 2023 lists. 

The announcement comes as the company moved to establish a dedicated complaints team for businesses affected and said it would work to “resolve concerns” after criticism the company’s original compensation offer of 100 free songs, ranked was deemed inadequate.

The updated complaints process comes as the list maker prepares to deal with the government response to the outage. In question time on Monday, the soon to be retired List Minister, the Honorable Richard Kingsmill, said last week’s outage underscored just how essential list making is for all Australians.

“The impacts were felt across the economy and community with repercussions for radio presenters, influencers, and public transport riders everywhere. Playlist consumers and time wasters were understandably frustrated,” he said.

“For Australians with a little better to do, including those relying on internet-compiled lists, the outage would have been deeply distressing.”

Kingsmill said the Department of Lists was working on its terms of reference for a review to reduce the risk of a future disruption, while the Australian List Compilation Authority (ALCA) was conducting a review into how it was that National Bawley Network customers were unable to read the Bawley 100 list archive, despite provisions in place to allow offline browsing.

“Our government will carefully consider recommendations from the upcoming reviews to ensure regulatory and policy settings adapt and respond so as to keep Australians idle and reliably ranked” the Minister said before packing up his desk and leaving into [forced] retirement with a 1995 Hottest 100 compilation (2CD) hidden in his tote bag.

The National Bawley Network’s embattled CEO, will face a Senate inquiry into the outage on New Year’s Eve.

The Bawley 100 - New Years Eve 2022/2023

Had red hair as a child

 31 December 2022

Today I have very strong feelings. Today I feel Courtney Barnett. Today I feel Run The Jewels. Today I feel Lorde. Today I feel TV On The Radio. Today I feel Alt-J (∆). Today I feel The National.  Today I feel a Radiohead. I feel like them because I know what it feels like to be ranked, to be judged as a Rolling Blackout Coastal Fever in an Arcade Fire. At school I was enumerated because I had red hair, The Xx and Gorillaz. I was humiliated, plus I was Gang of Youths, so imagine. I didn’t speak good Bawley. What do you do then? You lock yourself down in your room, you cry and then you try to make a list. You try to judge and rank others … You don’t start helping or reforming, you start listing. This is what we should be doing.”

It’s not easy each new year to read all these lists of songs ranked, published, poured over 16, 15, 14, …, 2, 1 years ago. Now everyone knows we can’t stop, we have to make the best out of 2022 and make the best Bawley Cup ever.  Julia Jacklin is ready, MGMT is ready, it will be the best Bawley Cup ever, of course.”

The Bawley 100 - New Years Eve 2021/2022

Moses to Santa to us, the Rosetta Stone to the Periodic Table to the Bawley 100. Evolution does not end. The next list will be even more immersive, an embodied register where you’re in the list, not just looking at it, and we call this the Bawley-verse.

You’re going to be able to rank almost anything you can imagine, evaluate friends and family, judge work and play, score entirely new things that don’t really fit into how we think about end of year lists today. Now, since we’re doing this on New Year’s Eve - the day before the future, I figured let’s make this special.

So for today we’ve put together something that we think is really going to give you a feeling for what a future list could be like. We believe the Bawley-verse will be the successor to the best of list. We’ll be able to feel judged like we’re right there, ranked above some below others, all in a virtual reality world. The list will be expressed in new, joyful, completely immersive ways unlocking amazing new experiences. When we send our friends a link to a Bawley list (they’re going to actually open it – right?), they will feel like they’re right in the list with us. No matter how pointless the whole thing really is.

Here we are together, ready to enter the Bawley-verse…

The Bawley 100 - New Years Eve 2020/2021

 

Transcript.

Spokesperson for the President, 31/12/2020, Bawley Seasons Total Landscaping.

[23:56] So, I’m here on behalf of the Trump Campaign, as an attorney for the President, to describe to you the first part of a situation that is extremely... troubling. Troubling for the Commonwealth of Bawley, and troubling for all believers in our ‘best ever’ President. I will not accept that he did not win the 2020 Bawley 100. He did, we did. They stole the vote. I have huge evidence, not fake evidence. True, sweet, pure evidence. With me today I have about 5 people that have given statements, affidavits, recordings. There are more, we’re going to have many, many witnesses. So many lawsuits, huge lawsuits these beautiful lawsuits will be brought starting on January 1.

[23:57] Here in Bawley there is a sad history of list fraud. In 2020 the Bawley 100 was stolen. I’m not attacking the people of Bawley. I’m attacking a decrepit idea [of lists], an outdated concept which has a lot of other reasons to be attacked.

[23:58] After all, The Strokes are still on year end lists here. That is hard to explain since they passed out of popular culture near 20 years ago, but… The Strokes continue to turn up on Bawley lists, fraud! Stinkfist. That song died in the mid-90s, here it is back from the dead, counterfeit, a cover version. Finally and most damning The National didn’t even nominate in 2020, there they are hiding on the list with crooked Tay-Tay! I am cooked. covfefe.

[23:59] Here in Bawley, they keep bringing back nostalgia artists, 90’s acts and covers… [Hanging onto the past] at least that is something that they can be commended for. But where is Donald?
