Yep, that's my plan for today. Something that has become a bit of a Quantumbiodiscs tradition has been me working on Australia Day and liveblogging Triple J's Hottest 100.
This year it has a twist, I'm working on an Australian Research Council grant and I'm actually here in Oz listening to JJJ on the radio. I've been looking forward to listening to this for a while, it's been ages since I've been able to catch up with what music has been popular in Oz.
Any of you other Oz researchers out there getting your ARC proposals lined up while listening to the J's feel free to comment on this thread!
