Phew. That only took me 30000 hours. Holy moley, this one was tough. I was studying my music choices and loves over the last 12 months harder than I studied for my exams.
Why must I be so particular, why does everything need to be just so? Why do I have to only pick 10? The truth of the matter is, I don't have any other hobbies. Literally, the sad truth of my existence is that when I'm not eating, sleeping, or working, I'm 100% mucking around with music and making playlists. My eclectic and somewhat strange tastes have dazzled my friends for ages, I am not known for my great taste nor my ability to form playlists that remotely tie in together well. My friends just know me as the chick with the playlist that has Coolio next to Alt-J. So, I feel that my shortlist this year accurately represents the range of my weirdo tastes.
Well, it's 1am, I feel my last ounce of sanity is slipping away. So here's my picks for this year's Hottest 100.
- Brandon Flowers - Can't Deny My Love
- Grimes - Flesh Without Blood
- Tame Impala - The Less I Know the Better
- Florence and the Machine - Queen of Peace
- Disclosure - Magnets
- Florence and the Machine - How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful
- CHVRCHES - Clearest Blue
- Macklemore - Downtown (feat. Eric Nally, Melle Mel, Kool Moe Dee)
- The Weeknd - Can't Feel My Face
- Vance Joy - Fire and the Flood
That's it. I'm done. The ordeal is over.
In other news, I'm off on holiday tomorrow afternoon! I'm gone! I'm jet setting away from all the hustle and bustle of the city to go visit the tranquil oasis that is New Zealand. However, I shall be in the country to listen intently for my favourite tracks from midday (AEDT) Tuesday, January 26th with the rest of the country. As per usual, here's a little playlist I put together to commemorate my picks for this year's Hottest 100.
