triple j’s resident genius Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki has done much for science over the years, bringing a sense of fun, humour, and discovery to what has traditionally been a rather stodgy discipline. In a new mock-doco extolling the power of music, he does his most important work to date: drinking beer out of a shoe for science!

“An alpha-male displays his dominance to the juveniles in the group”, says the Attenborough-esque narration as Dr. Karl downs a shoe-ful of suds. “Feeling threatened the weak seek refuge.”

The video doubles as an announcement that voting has officially opened for the 2016 Triple J Hottest 100, and features over 50 Triple J faves, including Allday, Ball Park Music, Hermitude, Jagwa Ma, Montaigne, The Preatures and many more. See how many you can spot; it’s like an indie Where’s Wally.

Check out the video below, and don’t forget to vote.
