Found out about this through a Reddit post. Tried gathering 100 Australian albums at first, but that turned out too homogeneous, so it'll be half Australian, half other. Non-Spotify links provided where possible.

Venetian Snares - Rossz csillag alatt született
What is it? Orchestral samples, breakcore
How'd I find it? Clicked a random genre on rym and tried the top album.
I doubt that this really is the best of the genre, just one of the more accessible. Its rating has increased a bit since I first found it, possibly due to being featured on a lot of /mu/ lists. It's the kind of sad/abrasive thing a lot of their audience like. Of course the Elgar Cello Concerto is in there. I'd love to hear this kind of thing in a game/movie soundtrack.

JYONGRI - Love Forever
What is it? Mid-2000s J-Pop, female vocalist
How'd I find it? This song was used in The World Ends With You.
Sounds super dated, though I think it did back when I first heard it in 2009 anyway (like a lot of J-Pop). This sound will probably become trendy again though, with the jelly sandals and chokers I've been seeing on the street. I struggled to stay awake for the whole album, but the linked song and other ballads still pretty good, seeing as sad piano ballads don't go out of style.

Angus & Julia Stone - Down The Way
What is it? Indie folk-pop, adult contemporary, when female vocalists imitate Bjork
How'd I find it? Everywhere on the radio in 2010!
Don't like them but glad they exist because they gave me something to argue about with my old music teacher. I've eventually come around to the everything he recommended except this. Every time I listen to this album I'm thinking, "nah, it's probably not as bad as I remembered." But this is the soundtrack of basic middle-class white people and that's nails on chalkboard for me. I keep trying anyway.

Ben Salter - The Cat
What is it? Male singer-songwriter, Australian, saxophones
How'd I find it? I don't remember exactly, but it involved this video.
I'm glad that I lived in Toowong, because it seems like lots of artsy types come from the inner-west, and I like seeing places I know in stuff. If I had friends who liked this kind of music, I'd be screaming at them to listen to this, because it's one of my favourite albums ever. It's got lush instrumentation, strong vocals, Brisbane, trains, bus numbers, and cats. Perfect.

Simon Bookish - Everything/Everything
What is it? Male singer-songwriter, art pop, chamber pop
How'd I find it? Rec'd by last.fm because I listened to Sufjan Stevens and Patrick Wolf
He has fewer Facebook likes than a generic Brisbane band I know of, how depressing. I want to throw money at this guy but this album isn't on his Bandcamp! I wanted to hear Philip Glass in pop form, and this delivers that and weirder. This is my niche. A 4.5 star review on RYM simply states, "Songs about not fucking".

St Vincent: Nah, not really feeling it. I'm over both Birth In Reverse and Digital Witness. The rest of the album is similarly dull and the "image" seems way too forced. This person explains it pretty well. This one is a bit harsh but I kinda feel the same way.

You Beauty: Jersey Flegg is currently my favourite 2014 album. Best legit free thing I've ever heard. I don't even like football.

The National: Watched the live stream, don't regret not going at all. I don't think their music suits that kind of setting, though I was a bit moved by Mr November at the end.

Neil Finn & Paul Kelly: Only just noticed that the full set is on Youtube, but I've been listening to the album on Spotify. Here's something I regret not attending. I was planning to, but I woke up late and by then it was sold out already!

Megan Washington: New single is eh. I still have hope that she may release something that I'll like as much as Sentimental Education. (Rich Kids could've been good too if the production wasn't so bland.)

Sky Ferreira: I was enjoying her album a bit at the beginning of the month, but not so much now. I think I might like the Unknown Mortal Orchestra remix of Everything Is Embarrassing more than the original.

Spotify: Jesus, I wish they'd advertise something other than condoms and alcohol, two things that I have zero interest in. Hell, I'm more interested in that train station and duck pond.

Infrastructure in Brisbane: Not really music-related, but there's a competition to name Brisbane's new tunnel, and lots of people are going for another band. I've been joking about a Powderfinger Tunnel since they built the Go-Between Bridge. Regurgitator Tunnel would be acceptable also.

Australian Compilations: Look at this link! Damn, wish I'd discovered this earlier. One of the better Australian music compilations I've seen. Dirty Jeans has a pretty average second half (the decline of jjj?) and Great Australian Songbook is just mostly tragic.

Older things I just discovered:
Augie March - Addle Brains
The Magnetic Fields - Born On A Train
Crowded House - Private Universe

Hottest 100 Vote: 
The Drones - Why Write A Letter That You’ll Never Send
Lorde - Ribs
Vampire Weekend - Step
The National - Sea Of Love
Kirin J Callinan - Embracism
Courtney Barnett - Avant Gardener
Rainbow Chan - Haircut
Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know?
Arcade Fire - Reflektor
Janelle Monae - Q.U.E.E.N. {Ft. Erykah Badu}

In descending order of how much I like them. I think the only ones to make it will be Step, Reflektor, and Do I Wanna Know? No sure what will be No. 1. My friend and I guess it'll be Royals, Get Lucky, or Riptide.

Ooh, Warmest 100 is predicting Riptide as No. 1. I'm not surprised. It reminds me of Big Jet Plane, being an aggressively... ah, I should save that for the 26th.

Other Triple J Things: People are arguing about jjj and homogenizing again. Nothing new to me. Yeah, I don't like the station much, despite being squarely in its target demographic, and sometimes I find even Nova easier (less annoying) to listen to, but after talking with a friend, I think the problem lies with the audience. They do play some decent stuff, but the majority likes dumb crap, which is how it goes with every kind of art. Oh well. Just listen to 4ZZZ or FBi or something.

Hey, they're talking about the Dessner-Greenwood classical collaboration now, that's something good!

Things I Just Discovered:
Kimbra - The Build-Up | Is that a prepared piano? It's a shame I never noticed this song earlier; I always zone out towards the end of albums.
The Triffids - Wide Open Road | It's up there with Cattle & Cane, I think!
Midnight Oil - Power And The Passion | For some reason I was expecting something MOR, but this is pretty fun.

Arcade Fire: The more I listen, the less I like. So I think I'm gonna leave it here. They're doing a sideshow here next year, but it's on a weeknight, at the damned Convention Centre, and I have no friends, so blah. It'll probably be full of the kind of people I don't like.

St Vincent: New song is surprisingly fun. I didn't care much for the previous album and I was set on not caring about this, but now I'm going to be cautiously interested. Has it stopped being shocking for female singers to talk about masturbating?

Jenny Hval: Innocence Is Kinky came out ages ago, but I'm revisiting it because one of the songs came up in shuffle and I distinctly heard the lyrics, "Do you remember, in Brisbane in December? It was raining..."

RCO: Saw them at the Opera House at the beginning of the month. Mariss Jansons had to pull out halfway through, which made for some awkwardness at the end when the audience threw streamers at the orchestra. Especially since they'd advertised it as his last concert with them. But I still enjoyed it, I guess.

Television: Went to the concert ages ago, but I somehow neglected to mention it here! They were impressively tight, and one of the few bands where I wasn't even slightly annoyed when they jammed and drew out songs. Ed Kuepper of The Saints was the support act. I really like Sleepyhead, and now it's on my high rotation playlist.

ARIA Awards: I wasn't really paying attention. Tame Impala won a bunch of things and I'm pretty OK with that. I'm not even sure Nick Cave should count as Australian anymore. The Flume guy seemed annoying. Resolution has to be the meh-est song to get Song Of The Year ever, I'm glad Matt Corby just said, "I don't have much to say" and walked off the stage.

Youtube: Keeps recommending me terrible Youtube singers because I keep clicking on things that people post on my Glee Club's Facebook group. They can sing well and all, but oh the overproduction! Oversinging! The worst thing is amateurs imitate and add stupid affectations to their singing when they haven't even got the basic "singing in tune" thing right.

Tumblr: I'm gradually unfollowing all of the music writers, because I just don't care anymore. They're all clambering over each other to say stuff like, "I liked Taylor Swift back when everyone else hated her!" and it's just stupid and annoying.

Lana Del Rey: Tropico is... something. I still listen to Driving In Cars With Boys a lot. Looking forward to her new material.

The Whitlams: Yeah, people say they're terrible. But I just rediscovered You Gotta Love This City, and I'd never noticed the disparaging lyrics before: "You've gotta love this city for it's body, not it's brain. My city's a whore..." Absolutely perfect. I'd kill to hear Tim Rogers sing it.

Darren Hanlon: Manilla NSW is one of my favourite discoveries of this year. I've been looking for Sydney/NSW kind of songs because The Go-Betweens' perfection was making me want to move back to QLD. Alas, this guy is from Gympie!
