After a massive Hottest 100 countdown in January, National broadcaster triple j recently revealed they will no longer be releasing the coveted Hottest 100 compilation CDs. However, in some truly exciting Record Store Day news, it has been revealed that a hand-picked selection of some of the broadcaster’s most beloved Like A Version covers of the past 12 months will be pressed to vinyl in a limited run of exclusive RSD drops for Record Store Day 2022. This includes the famed 2021 Hottest 100 winner and highest ranking Like A Version cover of all time, ‘Elephant’ by Tame Impala as covered by The Wiggles. The instant Australian classic will be joined by AMP winner Genesis Owusu with his cover of ‘Anarchy In The UK’, Ocean Alley’s Pink Floyd medley of ‘Breathe/Comfortably Numb/Money’, Amy Shark’s performance of ‘Sugar, We’re Going Down’, Triple One’s take on Cyndi Lauper’s ‘Time After Time’ and Middle Kids covering Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘drivers licence’. Each 7’’ single will also feature a b-side of the artists’ own original track performed live from the triple j studios. These records are destined to sell out so be sure to contact your local store for stock today!

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
