Trial By GIF: Triple J Hottest 100 Pt 1
MAX EASTON offers his critical appraisal of triple j’s Hottest 100 2011 in a language the youth of Australia understands.
Taking in 1.2 million votes from music fans, spectators and members of Dave Grohl's fan club, triple j's Hottest 100 is unequivocally the world's largest annual music poll conducted by a government funded radio station broadcast on a national holiday. As an event that is nothing if not this country's finest musical institution, it deserves nothing but the most careful analysis of its contents; an analysis that could only be done via the internet's foremost critical tool - the animated GIF.

I gathered the family around and had a good laff at this last night. But it seems after about 79 it gets confused and changes from the title being at the top to the bottom of the gif?.....
Some golden gifs in there. Even if I don't know most of the songs, the gifs amused me.
