My votes for the Triple J Hottest 100 2012 (in a rough order – better songs at the bottom)

• Tyler Touché – Baguette?
• Japandroids – The House That Heaven Built (not in my personal top 10, but I’d love to see these guys do well)
• Lisa Mitchell – Bless This Mess
• The Vaccines – No Hope
• Grimes – Genesis
• Hot Chip – Motion Sickness
• Frank Ocean – Pyramids
• Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – Thrift Shop (feat. Wanz)
• Jonathan Boulet – Trounce
• Purity Ring – Fineshrine

Some songs that just missed out

• The Presets – Ghosts
• Chet Faker – Archangel
• Passion Pit – Take a Walk

Great songs, but you can only pick ten!

• His Majesty Andrew – Hymn
• Cloud Nothings – Stay Useless

Fun songs, but not as meaningful to me as the ten songs above (or as fun as “Thrift Shop”).

• Sleigh Bells – Comeback Kid
• Django Django – Default

These both would have been in my list if you’d asked me in June, but while I still like them, I don’t love them like I did at the start of the year.

• Velociraptor – Cynthia

One of my favourite songs of 2011. I’m not voting for it because Triple J haven’t played it for ages, and I don’t see it having any shot of making the list.
