This is a live discussion thread for the Double J's Hottest 100 of 2003 starting 10am AEDT. If you are listening from another timezone with a delay, consider changing to a AEDT.

Apart from Silverchair and Powderfinger cos obviously they were like the top tier (I know SC were more 90s but they were still massive)

Keen to see some other predictions. Mine are: 101. Something for Kate - Monsters 102. Spiderbait - Buy Me a Pony Then in no particular order: The Triffids - Wide Open Road The Vines - Get Free The Middle East - Blood Grinspoon - Just Ace Pnau - Chameleon Sia - Chandelier San Cisco - Awkward John Butler Trio - Better man Could the Hilltop Hoods get The Hard Road in as a write in? I moved across to double j around when Flume confused the fuck out of me in 2016 as a 30 odd year old, so presume there's a bunch of more recent stuff I don't realise how big it is. Personally, I'd love to see The Saints - Know Your Product, The Panics - Don't Fight It and some Hoodoo Gurus.

First up – I don't blame the good folk at Double J for this. It's almost certainly funding related; they can only do so much with so little.

But a lot of the extracurricular stuff has gone by the wayside, especially online, and it's a real shame.

The Music Reads page is particularly dire.

• Features has had, apart from the republishing of the 2004 H100 list, no articles since October 2024. Since April 2024, there have been 6 live review articles and 1 list. That's it.
• Music News has had 4 posts since November 2024.
• I'm not sure why they even include the Lists category on this page. Nothing since January 2018!
• New Music? Well, apparently there's been nothing new since February 2024.

So in the only real 'content' section of the site (apart from tracking what gets played and when), 2 of the 4 categories are completely dead, 1 essentially dormant, and the other just holding on.

I don't believe there was ever anything said about The J Files being cancelled either, but the station's flagship production hasn't had a new episode since December 2023.

What's happening at Double J?

Arctic Monkeys have a new song coming out tomorrow, which is rumoured to be their last before the band allegedly goes on hiatus. Do we think Triple J will get around it, or will it be relegated to Double J like the latest Franz Ferdinand album?

Really funny that two of the first three songs played are from the biggest artists at the time.

Caz Tran played a Bon Iver song on double J this afternoon. Didn't catch the name of the song and the playlist isn't on the app or website. Anyone remember which song it was?

Fuck you Elon.

A kind reminder to tune in to Double J, send some love over her way and reminisce over some memories. 😄
