WELCOME
to Australia’s number one selling album of the moment,
and deservedly so for The Living End’s fourth studio
release State of Emergency is more rock and less rockabilly,
while maintaining TLE’s trademark lyrics of society on
the brink. The album is full of standout tracks, opening with
‘Til the End and superbly backed by current single Wake
Up. Tracks 3, 6, 7 (a No.1 hit prediction) and 11 also shine.

IT’S
here at last – Vol 13 of Triple J’s Hottest 100. Wheeling
and dealing with record companies resulted in a 2 disc CD compilation
with 42 tracks (not necessarily #1 to #42), with live tracks
from Bernard Fanning, The Herd, and Wolfmother. Number 1 this
year is Bernard Fanning’s Wish You Well (you get the original
AND a bonus live version), closely followed by Ben Lee’s
Catch My Disease. Powderfinger, with Bernard Fanning as lead
singer, holds two distinguished Hottest 100 records: they had
three tracks in the 2003 100’s Top 10.
