November is triple j's Ausmusic Month, so jmag brings you the greatest Aussie songs EVER, as voted for by 70 of this country's most legendary musos, who break it down with anecdotes, rants and personal countdowns — including Suffa, the Living End's Chris Cheney, Josh Pyke, Sarah Blasko, Augie March's Glenn Richards… and Barnsey, no less! You won't believe which song is at No.1…

Our celebration of all things Oz continues, with a round-table chat featuring members of Kisschasy, bluejuice, Parkway Drive, Miami Horror, Diafrix and triple j's Steph Hughes' band Dick Diver about what it's like to be an artist in 2009 ("It's all a bunch of industry press release bullshit, for a bunch of industry people to jerk each other off!"). Plus, Wolfmother's Andrew Stockdale takes on the haters ("People actively use the internet as a tool to destroy you!") and cracks the lid on new LP Cosmic Egg ("It's not wallpaper, hey!"); Powderfinger open up about keeping it real on Golden Rule ("It's awesomely looser"); and hip-hop stars Pegz, Dialectrix, Bliss and Urthboy rap about the "tall poppy syndrome" rife in the local scene ("Deep down, we'd like everyone in the national spotlight to be as humble as Don Bradman"). And don't miss out on tales from Josh Pyke's workin' days (think High Fidelity, Sydney-stylee), flirtatious banter with EJ Barnes and Liam Finn (are they or aren't they?) and a hat-doffing homage to one of Australia's living legends, Paul Kelly.

November's jmag also gets fully sick with tips on getting your shaggin' wagon into tip-top nick, a hawt couture "pret-a-bogan" fashion shoot and Aussie songs quiz, before two writers dish up their take on loving and hating — thanks a lot, Savage Garden — 'Straylian music. But why just read about ace Aussie music when jmag's giving you the chance to experience it, with three knuckle-gnawing comps: get side-of-stage at the Big Day Out, rub shoulders at Southbound and get down and dirty at Peats Ridge!

jmag also has 13 free downloads for readers, including Whitley, Dananananakroyd, Mumford & Sons and the Grates.

November's jmag goes on sale October 29, and is available from newsagents, ABC Shops, ABC Centres and online. $7.50
