Good on the J's

With Unearthed winners, And Burn being given a spot at the next One Night Stand, it's about time Triple J gets some recognition for the work they do to promote Australian music.

The Unearthed competition they run has unearthed (pun intended) some of Australia's biggest music names.

Past winners include, Missy Higgins, Grinspoon, The Bumblebeez, Killing Heidi and The Hungry Kid of Hungary.

Whilst Unearthed is a great program, Triple J also deserve praise for their everyday broadcasts as well.

There aren't many other stations where bands like The Grates, The Herd, Angus and Julia Stone or The Getaway Plan would get airtime.

Unlike their commercial counterparts Triple J don't view the Australian Music Quota as something to fill the hours between Midnight and 6 am.

Oh, and they don't play Chris Brown, a huge plus.
