I enjoy listening to Triple J radio fairly often and the station has put together some nifty compilation albums in the past, such as the annual Hottest 100, where listeners vote for the best songs of the year. No pop crap here, but an eclectic mix of almost everything else that's contemporary in flavour. My favourite Triple J production, though, is the annual volume of Like A Version, where some pretty spectacular bands/singers knock out a cover of what might be a most unlikely original. They do this live, in the studio, very often making do with the instruments they've got to hand. It's up to volume six and one of the tracks that's got under my skin in a pleasant way is The Last Kinection performing a cover of Rhythm is a Dancer. That chorus line has been bouncing around my head and dribbling out my mouth since the start of January... much to to the annoyance of everyone in listening range! (One of the presenters of the show - Tom Ballard - is an ex-student, which makes this clip a bit more special for me.)
