I listen each year to the Hottest 100 (those that know my regular music taste, stop sniggering) and find plenty I really like on it, but blowed* if I can see the attraction with this Gotye bloke. It might be well constructed, well produced etc, but it still sounds...tired.
Then again, Bernard Fanning's "Wish You Well" was number one a few years back with a song that, had it been a busker in Rundle Mall, wouldn't have gotten past the secretary at many record companies, much less to the A&R bloke, IMHO.
Can you guess where I'm calling from, the Las Vegas Hilton...
