I love my music. It means a lot to me, always has and always will. 2011 was an amazing year in music, and an outstanding year for Australian music. It was great to re-live some of my favourite music memories in shortlisting songs for what would make up my eventual Top 10, for Triple J’s Hottest 100. Now that my votes are in, I thought I’d re-live those memories publicly, too :) But first, my 10 favourites and the shortlisted songs that just missed out on my vote:
