#TheN0ughtie5 30 2️⃣1️⃣ Silverchair, STRAIGHT LINES (2007) 🇦🇺 Absolute classic. This is a biographical anthem about getting it together. Some of the fans hated it at first because it's "commercial". I bet they've come around to it by now. Missed out on No.1 in the Triple J Hottest 100 by 13 votes.

The nerve wracking dramatic irony of watching an eaglet chilling in the nest just before fireworks are about to start! This eaglet has been flying for less than a week. Eagles can't see at night. www.youtube.com/live/B4-L2nf...

#TheN0ughtie5 d29 "The littlest bird" - The Be Good Tanyas (2002) rank 22 Postmodernist trio from Vancouver, playing folk tunes like they'd dropped through a wormhole from the 1940s. The best harmonies since Wilson Phillips.

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 29 2️⃣2️⃣ St. Vincent, ACTOR OUT OF WORK (2009) 🇺🇸 She's so mean to those actors! Others have been voting for some of my favourite St. Vincent songs, which are non-singles. So expect her in my HM list. 😄

Tell us a story. I know you're not boring.

ICYMI: Alex Jones popped like a balloon. Get the real story at www.theonion.info.

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 28 2️⃣3️⃣ Kasey Chambers, NOT PRETTY ENOUGH (2002) 🇦🇺 The reigning queen of Aussie country but she's not purely country. I'm gratified that a woman as original and left-field as her became so beloved. This, her breakout song, is about the superficiality of the music industry.

They've got about 4 million now; all from small donations. But they need 6 million more by the end of July. Can a professional fund-raiser step in? I hear Keanu is nice. #birds #BigBearBaldEagles #California #Jackie&Storm savemooncamp.org

Fiona the Flying Squirrel has moved into the Big Bear Bald Eagles' nest. #Jackie&Storm #BigBearBaldEagles

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 27 2️⃣4️⃣ Wolfmother, THE JOKER AND THE THIEF (2006) 🇦🇺 When this first came out everyone in Australia collectively shouted "HELL YEAH!" Or variations of that. We had great hopes for them. But a few years later they basically disintegrated.

#THEN0UGHTIE5 Day 26 "Heartbeats" by The Knife (2002) Standards aren't really a thing in contemporary music, but if there is such a thing as a 21st-century standard, this is it. tidal.com/track/241824...

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 26 2️⃣5️⃣ Josh Pyke, THE SUMMER (2009) 🇦🇺 Wistful nostalgia about childhood holidays. The vibe and imagery are so strong. Josh Pyke is like the Tim Winton of songwriting.

#TheN0ughtie5 HM 5/5 Tenacious D, TRIBUTE (2002) 🇺🇸 Isn't that what this whole challenge is about, i.e. paying tribute to the best song(s) in the world?! I literally had to toss a coin to decide on the 5th HM; my heart feels good.

#TheN0ughtie5 HM 4/5 Kate Miller-Heidke, CAN'T SHAKE IT (2009) 🇦🇺 This is ridiculously optimistic but I need to include Kate MH in all possible lists. While others brag about their shaking it skills, Kate MH laments: 🎶 I get the feeling that I look absurd And it hurts 🎶 Relatable.

I can’t be the only one who thinks it’s INSANE that we are simultaneously hosting the World Cup and bombing one of the nations playing in said World Cup.

Great news for the American people 💯🎯

#TheN0ughtie5 HM 3/5 Matt Sweeney & Bonnie "Prince" Billy, MY HOME IS THE SEA (2005) 🇺🇸 This song is not about the sea. 😅 Spoilers ahead... It's a truly beautiful, heartwrenching & poetic ballad about - as far as I can tell - getting a bj.

#TheN0ughtie5 HM 2/5 Noisettes, DON'T UPSET THE RHYTHM (Go BABY GO) (2009) 🇬🇧 This song is not about drumming. Or cars. Or babies. 😅 I never saw the car ad. I heard this for the first time about 5 years ago and it's such a great album. Check out Shingai Shoniwa performing. She's amazing. 🤸‍♀️

#TheN0ughtie5 HM 1/5 Things I like but not singles mainly From my 2009 album! Indie prog, not beating the charges Sunset Rubdown - Dragon’s Lair (2009) youtu.be/y9QF7mbsd10?...

#TheN0ughtie5 Honourable Mention 1 Not About Love - Fiona Apple (2005; I was 12) Can't do one of these challenges without shouting out Fiona Apple. It took ages to decide where this or "Paper Bag" was going to become my HM. I ultimately had to go for the one that felt most unique to Apple.

#TheN0ughtie5 HM 1/5 Wilco, JESUS, ETC. (2002) 🇺🇸 This was a promotional single so I had to knock it off my main list. 😪 It's so soothing and such a part of my life that it's a warm, nice smelling blanket I take off the shelf every winter.

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 25 2️⃣6️⃣ The Shins, NEW SLANG (2001) 🇺🇸

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 24 2️⃣7️⃣ Fleet Foxes, MYKONOS (2008) 🇺🇸 A bit of darkness, a whole lot of beauty. Plus this is one of my all-time favourite music videos. youtu.be/DT-dxG4WWf4?...

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 23 2️⃣8️⃣ Radiohead JIGSAW FALLING INTO PLACE 2007 🇬🇧 It's an embarrassment of riches with Radiohead from this decade. This stands out: It's danceable! Like a lot of Radiohead songs, the tension ramps up. Here because "Tom" is getting increasingly drunk and disillusioned in a club.

#TheN0ughtie5 2️⃣8️⃣ Laura Marling | Goodbye England (Covered in Snow) | 2009 Another Christmas favourite (although not explicitly Christmassy) and ridiculously inappropriate as southern England swelters in a a red heat warning youtu.be/r9BQ6PxK7ss?...

#TheN0ughtie5 2️⃣9️⃣ The Drones SHARK FIN BLUES (2005) 🇦🇺 😭 🎶 Well you are all my brothers, and you have been kind But what were you expecting to find? Now your eyes turn inwards, countenance turns blank And I'm floating away on a barrel of pain It looks like nothing but the sea and sky remain 🎶

The rise of larger vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks, with their taller hoods and larger blind zones, has contributed to a 75% increase in pedestrian and cyclist deaths since 2009. Until we design better streets and ban these vehicles, people outside these vehicles will keep dying.

🎯

Everything is unbelievably stupid. What are we doing here? He destroyed a pool, and now that people are laughing at what he did, he deployed armed officers to go and be arresting people for laughing at him.

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 21 3️⃣0️⃣ Amy Winehouse, YOU KNOW I'M NO GOOD (2007) 🇬🇧 The bright zippy brass hook belying the tone of the lyrics. Gorgeous minor key blues. I've suddenly realised that most of my favourite music is in minor or something weird like Phrygian.

Pedolf's Ls for the week - "I love the inflation" - Mercilessly booed at Knicks game, naps - Rain-delayed White Trash UFC circus, naps - $14M pool renovation reflecting all his failures - Ignored at the G7 - Star-studded list of artists for OPC opening - Signs surrender in (checks notes) Versailles

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 20 3️⃣1️⃣ Röyksopp, THE GIRL AND THE ROBOT (2009) 🇸🇪 I'm a sucker for songs in a minor key with moody chord choices. This sounds incredibly cinematic to me. And it amuses me how they took the concept of a "robotic" partner and really ran with it.

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 19 3️⃣2️⃣ Missy Elliot, GET UR FREAK ON (2001) 🇺🇸

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 18 3️⃣3️⃣ Hey Ya!, OUTKAST (2003) 🇺🇸 🧊🥶🍬🏡📷😪

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 17 3️⃣4️⃣ Gorillaz, Shaun Ryder, Roses Gabor, DARE (2005) 🇬🇧

Created by homeschool lobbyist and parent Rodger Williams, Homeschooling Backgrounder is one of the newest tools deployed by homeschooling leaders and parents to ignore or discredit alumni concerns. Here’s what to know about the astroturfing project.

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 16 Laura Marling, GHOSTS (2007) 🇬🇧 LM was a teen when she wrote this! 🎶 He was done and there was nothing left to be Well, it turned out I'd been following him and he'd been following me It was done after it was over We were just two lovers crying on each other's shoulders 🎶

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 15 3️⃣6️⃣ Fleet Foxes, WHITE WINTER HYMNAL (2008) 🇺🇸 It's almost Winter Solstice here and if you listen to Reddit, this song is about an ancient Solstice sacrifice ritual. If you listen to Robin Pecknold the songwriter, it's about painfully losing childhood innocence. 🤷‍♀️ 🍓❄️🐇🕑

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 14 Laura Marling - Ghosts (2008) Country: UK Single: Yes

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 14 3️⃣7️⃣ Eminem, LOSE YOURSELF (2002) 🇺🇸 This one was lightning in a bottle for Eminem. I love most (well many) of his angles, but I don't think he ever got more inspirational and anthemic than this.

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 13 3️⃣8️⃣ Regina Spektor, US (2004) 🇺🇸 I don't know what to say...Regina Spektor is a giant of songwriting and musicality. I thought this is the single others might go for. I have another coming. Trivia: Tom Petty's daughter Adria made the vid.

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 12 3️⃣9️⃣ The Herbaliser & Jean Grae, NAH MEANS NAH'M SAYING (2005) 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 Listening to a lot of jazzhop/triphop or whatever it's called (The Herbaliser is amongst the very best), has led me to Jean Grae. This is profound.

#NewMusic #MusicSky It's a great day for a long overdue new Kate Miller-Heidke song! And it's 😂 Oh, and Kate if you read this, they're called potato scallops in NSW too.

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 11 4️⃣0️⃣ Sleater-Kinney, ENTERTAIN (2005) 🇺🇸 If they were trying to make a non-entertaining song, (“We're not here 'cause we want to entertain”), they failed.

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 10 4️⃣1️⃣ M.I.A., PAPER PLANES (2007) 🇬🇧 Thought I'd throw in this obscure little track. 🙃 And this time I remembered the hash on the hashtag.

TheN0ughtie5 Day 9 4️⃣2️⃣ Rufus Wainwright, GOING TO A TOWN (2007) 🇨🇦 🎶 You took advantage of a world that loved you well. 🎶 😪 Then the slowed tempo at the end...😭

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 8 4️⃣3️⃣ Gorillaz & De La Soul, FEEL GOOD INC. (2005) 🇬🇧 I clearly remember playing this song to my ex in 2005 and it didn't go down well. You don't have to love it, but how the hell could you hate it?
