For anyone who thought maybe 20 years ago was "a better time" it's a week of kidnapping, viruses that threatened to wipe us out and big tech companies trying to take over the world. The more things change, the more they stay the same it would seem. 

On the lighter side it's the week of the 2002 Triple J hottest 100, new releases from punk music icons and a band who may be the first to achieve the mythical brown note.
