Member for Fraser Dr Andrew Leigh has blogged his Triple J hottest one hundred votes.

(In the interests of fairness you can see mine here)

Sadly local entrants Super Best Friends and Peking Duk did not catch the good doctor’s fancy.

Still time to vote people!

Andrew Leigh’s *real* votes:

5. Brandenburg Concerto – Walter Carlos

I always thought it was Brandenburg Concerto – J.S. Bach. Unless he just means the 2nd movement improvisation, where Walter (Wendy) Carlos was trying to show off the capabilities of the then new Moog Synthesiser. It all sounds a bit ordinary nowadays.

Makes a change to see a MP voting for what he likes rather than voting for the local talent in some sort of attempt to win votes.
