I thought I’d put all the clips in one post and see what it sounded like if they were all playing at the same time - the Matt Granfield symphony if you will. It doesn’t sound very good, but the results would be better if record companies would permit embedding of the official clips. Most of them don’t seem to these days. They must think that by forbidding me to share my ten favourite songs with you it will make them more money. Aren’t they clever.

I had to leave some brilliant songs off, and I can’t believe The Rollings Stones or Rage Against the Machine didn’t make the list, but there you go.

Voting opened today in Triple J’s Hottest 100 of All Time poll. What makes it into your top ten?

Two digital music stations and the viral power of blogs.

David Gillespie told me how stupid and crap Stripe is. It is. It’s crap and it won’t work and it’s stupid. I’m telling you now.

Iain Tait told me how f**king good Blip.fm is. It is. It’s brilliant and I’m listening to it now and I’m going to keep listening to it. And now I’m telling you. Go and listen. It’s f**king brilliant.

This is how blogs work. This is what they do. People whispering across the world.
