Get Free by Major Lazer ft Amber of the Dirty Projectors



The perfect Sunday song. I thought this song sounded like it's from the Dub scene in New Zealand but unsurprisingly, it's actually from Jamaica.

Get Free just came #6 in The Hottest 100. Touring the world in 2013, see dates.

Lost by Frank Ocean + Lost covered by The Bamboos



frankocean.com Record Label: www.islanddefjam.com

It has been predicted that Frank Ocean's song Lost will rank very highly in Triple J's Hottest 100 this year. Not surprising since his album Channel Orange has been popping up in the top ten of best album lists everywhere, and has a host of Grammy nominations. And don't forget, people also like songs about boobs.

Go to the Warmest 100 if you want to see the full list of predicted songs for the Hottest 100 today.



Here's The Bamboos' version of Lost - there's about a minute intro, but worth the wait.
