Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi - Oz Day Hottest 100!!
January 26th. The day Aussies all over the globe eagerly await each year. There is no better way to celebrate the founding of a nation than a boozy beach barbie with friends, sunshine, and of course, the Triple J Hottest 100 countdown.

White Laces //
Alrighty folks, I just realized that I mentioned White Laces in my previous post but we’ve never posted on them! It so happens that their self titled album is being released today as well, so I guess it’s perfect timing.

Julian currently resides in Wisconsin where he is...
