I mentioned that I've been enjoying the last twelve hours of Edge music, the best thing to happen to the official Edge site in forever. Shortly after noon today, I copied the list of songs played on 102.1 in the previous twelve hours and I've been adding little notes to each one througout the day. Here's what I've got. 12:11PM Hot Hot Heat - Goodnight Goodnight My kids love this song! When you and your kids share an interest in a tune, it's solid gold. 12:03PM U2 - Bad I haven't heard this one in a while. Remember when U2 was good? Bad was good. 11:59AM Beastie Boys - So What'cha Want Years after its release, I still listen to this song on a regular basis. It's a classic. 11:53AM Pilot Speed - Barely Listening For those of you just tuning in, Pilot Speed are the guys formerly known as Pilate. It's not my cup of tea. 11:52AM Beck - E-Pro This is more my cup of tea. E-Pro was fun. 11:51AM Beck - Nausea I'm a little confused. How did they play the new Beck single "Nausea" at 11:51 and one minute later play E-Pro? I don't think that's possible. "Nausea", by the way, sounds great... like it's from Mellow Gold. 11:47AM Mobile - Out Of My Head I am so sick of this song. I wish they'd stop playing it. 11:43AM Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly Wings This song is still great. Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage. Great lyrics too. 11:34AM 30 Seconds To Mars - The Kill (Bury Me) I'm not yet feeling this tune. It's got the required yelling, but it sounds a little too Evanescencey. 11:31AM K-OS - Crabbuckit Ya gotta like K-OS. This is a fun tune. No harm, no foul. 11:25AM Sublime - What I Got Yes! My summer album and my summer single. I love it. 11:22AM Papa Roach - ...To Be Loved I've heard better Papa Roach. I'll pass, thanks. 11:20AM Sloan - Who Taught You How To Live Like That This long time fan always welcomes new Sloan in the fold. Bring it on, boys. 11:13AM The Tragically Hip - Three Pistols A great choice from the massive Hip catalogue. Disclosure: this is my favourite band. 11:09AM Nine Inch Nails - The Hand That Feeds Yawn. Is this still on the playlist? 11:03AM Killers - When You Were Young You just know they're going to play this single to death. It's not bad though. 10:58AM Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside Songs from Californication continue to get plenty of airplay. I still prefer Mother's Milk, but history may deem Californication to be their definitive album. 10:53AM Hostage Life - This Song Was Written By Committee I really wanted to love this song because they're local and all, but when I hear it I just hear "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" from The Darkness. That ain't good. 10:46AM Billy Talent - Devil In A Midnight Mass This song made SLS15 because it's good. Enough said. 10:41AM Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger This is one of my favourite Oasis songs. It's exceptional. They should play it daily. 10:35AM Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out It's the song of the summer of 2004! It's really two fine songs in one. Bonus! 10:31AM Sam Roberts - Bridge To Nowhere This song has grown on me lately. I think I might try and sneak it on SLS16 when nobody is paying attention. 10:24AM Bob Marley & The Wailers - Buffalo Soldier Interesting choice. I sometimes feel the frequency of Bob Marley songs seems a little forced. 10:21AM Jet - Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is I'm not certain if I like this song or not. It sounds like Jet, and that's not a bad thing... but is it a good thing? The jury is still out. 10:14AM Nickelback - Figured You Out In a shocking maneuver, 102 played Nickelback today. Stop the press! 10:01AM DJ Champion - No Heaven I've been seriously digging this tune lately. I introduced it to Taryn on the weekend and she's digging it to. I must remember to submit this for SLS16 consideration. 9:58AM Three Days Grace - Pain I actually prefer this cut to the first release off their new album. When it hits the radio I'm not flipping the station. 9:55AM Sloan - Who Taught You How To Live Like That See 11:20AM. 9:49AM City And Colour - Save Your Scissors Dallas is a city and Green is a colour, get it? Sweet ditty... 9:45AM Red Hot Chili Peppers - Tell Me Baby New RHCP is bound to get plenty of airplay. You can't fight City Hall. 9:35AM U2 - With Or Without You Another U2 song from back when they were decent. This song takes me back to grade school dances. 9:32AM Arctic Monkeys - Fake Tales Of San Francisco I dig this tune. Listen for it on SLS16. 9:20AM The Tragically Hip - Blow At High Dough This is the first Tragically Hip song I ever heard. I heard it on Q107 when it was first released and I fell in love. I've probably written about this a hundred times but you never forget your first. 9:16AM Wolfmother - Woman I liked this tune enough to throw it on SLS15. Good stuff. 9:06AM Billy Talent - Red Flag This song took a while to grow on me, but it eventually happened. 8:51AM Evanescence - Call Me When You're Sober Call me when it's over. 8:37AM Finger Eleven - One Thing Well, well. Who will ever forget the time Scott Anderson chimed in on the One Thing discussion over at SLS. It was a smash that eventually found its way to Chum FM heaven. 8:30AM Smashing Pumpkins - Today This song takes me back to my first year of University. Amazing track from an amazing album. 8:12AM 30 Seconds To Mars - The Kill (Bury Me) See 11:34AM. 7:52AM Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop Another Red Hot Chili Peppers song, and they're not even CanCon. Impressive volume. 7:47AM Killers - When You Were Young See 11:03AM 7:35AM The Tragically Hip - Fifty Mission Cap It must be Leafs season. #5 forever. 7:22AM Lenny Kravitz - It Ain't Over 'til It's Over Admittedly, I'm not the biggest Kravitz fan, but there are worse songs on the radio. 7:07AM Sam Roberts - Bridge To Nowhere See 10:31AM. 7:01AM Sloan - Who Taught You How To Live Like That See 11:20AM and 9:55AM. 6:51AM Nirvana - Heart-Shaped Box Here's our Nirvana song. You can't go a 12 hour period without it, and rightfuly so. 6:47AM DJ Champion - No Heaven See 10:01AM. 6:34AM Our Lady Peace - Superman's Dead Is this the best OLP song? It's definitely top four... 6:24AM Foo Fighters - Best Of You I'm a fan of this Foo track. I put it on SLS13. 6:20AM U2 - Pride (In The Name Of Love) Yet another U2 song from their glory days. 6:07AM Red Hot Chili Peppers - Tell Me Baby See 9:45AM. 6:03AM Staind - It's Been Awhile It's been awhile since I heard this song and it's still holding up. 5:58AM Angels And Airwaves - The Adventure Whether with Blink or A&A, this sound has a definite Beach Boys catchiness to it. 5:44AM Blind Melon - No Rain From the classic alternative bin, it's the song that brought us Bee Girl! I prefer Galaxy. 5:40AM Billy Talent - Red Flag See 9:06AM. 5:27AM Gob - I Hear You Calling Taryn once got sick at a Gob concert. True story, I was there! 5:24AM Green Day - Brain Stew Great Green Day track and I haven't heard it in forever. 5:19AM Stone Sour - Through Glass I put Bother on SLS8 and I'm digging this track too. I think I prefer Stone Sour to Slipknot. 5:17AM Beck - E-Pro See 11:52AM 5:16AM Beck - Nausea See 11:51AM 5:12AM Sum 41 - Hell Song Ajax, Schmajax. 5:09AM Raconteurs - Steady, As She Goes Jack White is god. 5:03AM Blur - Song 2 Whoo, hoo! They must have required a two minute tune heading into the break. 4:59AM Evanescence - Call Me When You're Sober See 8:51AM. 4:57AM Hot Hot Heat - Goodnight Goodnight See 12:11PM. 4:54AM Nirvana - Rape Me CFNY is wise enough to realize they can't go wrong with tunes like this. 4:50AM The Tragically Hip - In View It's new Hip. 'Nuff said. 4:43AM Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California Have you noticed the abundance of RHCP? 4:39AM U2 - New Year's Day Yet another old U2 gem from their glory days. 4:32AM Evans Blue - Over Zzzzzzzz. 4:29AM 30 Seconds To Mars - The Kill (Bury Me) See 11:34AM and 8:12AM. 4:24AM Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away Next, please. 4:19AM Rise Against - Ready To Fall I'm not sure I know this song. 4:12AM Econoline Crush - All That You Are It's nice to hear the Crush still getting some airplay. Named after a Neil Young lyric, dontchaknow? 4:08AM AFI - Miss Murder Not a bad tune... it's not SLS-worthy, but not bad at all. 4:03AM Killers - When You Were Young See 11:03AM and 7:47AM 4:00AM Green Day - Time Of Your Life (Good Riddance) The defacto farewell song of our generation. 3:57AM Death Cab For Cutie - Soul Meets Body I still dig this one. Good stuff. 3:52AM Eminem - My Name Is They shouldn't be playing this, plain and simple. 3:48AM AlexisOnFire - This Could Be Anywhere In The World DG is at it again and it's good. 3:43AM Nickelback - Animals 2 much Nickelback. 3:38AM Pearl Jam - Jeremy Hey, they're playing Pearl Jam! About time... 3:31AM Theory Of A Deadman - Make Up Your Mind Hey, it's Nickelback Jr.! 3:28AM Sam Roberts - Bridge To Nowhere See 10:31AM and 7:07AM. 3:24AM U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For It's our fifth U2 song and it's another golden oldie. Interesting... 3:17AM Tool - The Pot At 6:26, this is one of the shorter cuts on the album. It's too short! 3:10AM Treble Charger - Brand New Low It's not Red, is it? 3:06AM Foo Fighters - No Way Back This band is a hit machine. Seriously, I like every single. This is no exception. 3:02AM DJ Champion - No Heaven See 10:01AM and 6:47AM. 2:56AM Stone Temple Pilots - Plush Memories... I loved this song when it was first released. I still can't hear it without singing along. Luckily, I was sound asleep at 2:56 am. 2:53AM Evans Blue - Cold (But I'm Still Here) A little better Evans Blue... 2:49AM Limp Bizkit - Rollin' Remember when Limp Bizkit was sorta cool? Now they're closer to Vanilla Ice than Korn. 2:46AM Keane - Is It Any Wonder? Niceness. Who would complain about niceness? 2:40AM Mobile - Out Of My Head See 11:47AM. 2:36AM Weezer - Say It Ain't So Classic Weezer. Like a fine wine, it only gets better with age. 2:31AM Rinocerose - Cubicle This is too good to come from France.

This band is overrated. 2:06AM Nine Inch Nails - The Hand That Feeds See 11:09AM. 2:01AM Billy Talent - Red Flag See 9:06AM and 5:40AM. 1:59AM Subways - Rock & Roll Queen It made SLS15 because it's good stuff. 1:54AM Offspring - Self Esteem Dammit, I played this album a billion times in university. It's Monday night, I'm at the Phoenix and this song is starting... 1:51AM Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Goin' Down Fall Out Boy was named after a Simpsons character, but that's not reason enough to sing their praises. 1:47AM City And Colour - Comin Home From the hardest working man in Canadian music it's another sweet ditty. 1:44AM Beastie Boys - Body Movin' The Boys have better songs in their catalogue. 1:39AM Ill Scarlett - Heaters I've already confessed to liking this song.
