I'm submitting a song for SLS22 consideration.  I'm submitting "I'm With You" by The Stills. I actually thought I had put this single from The Stills on SLS21, but apparently I didn't.  That's why pencils have erasers, so I'm getting this catchy tune on SLS22. I saw these guys recently

I'm submitting a song for SLS22 consideration.  I'm submitting "21 Guns" by Green Day. Green Day's "Know Your Enemy" was noticeably absent from the recently unveiled SLS21. I didn't mind it, but I thought it was a little too "American Idiot" and I know these guys can do better.  "21

It is with great privilege and honour that I unveil to you the final song list for SLS21.  For an SLS primer, go here and to see what appeared on SLS20, go here. We listened to hours and hours of new rock before deciding upon these 20 tracks.  Without further

I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration.  I'm submitting "Rusted From The Rain" by Billy Talent. We've been hearing Billy Talent on the radio for six years now, so maybe it's time I get over the fact they bastardized the spelling of Billy Tallent. This is a nice single from

I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration.  I'm submitting "Body of Years" by Mother Mother. This sweet indie band is based in Vancouver.  They released O My Heart in late 2008 and this is their first big radio single off the album, at least in this neck of the woods.

I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration.  I'm submitting "Fixed to Ruin" by Sam Roberts. I've seen Sam Roberts perform three times, and he's always great.  I read a quote from him several years ago in which he says his greatest love was "dirty fuckin’ rock ‘n’ roll."  I've always

I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration.  I'm submitting "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" by Cage the Elephant. Cage the Elephant sound a little White Stripish on this track, but I dig it.  Maybe I dig it because it's White Stripish? In Indian religious philosophies the elephant is a

I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration.  I'm submitting "Zero" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The best new album I've been spinning this week belongs to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.  There are several hooky singles oozing out of It's Blitz, including "Zero", a song they recently performed on Saturday Night

I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration.  I'm submitting "Burning Bridges" by k-os. Did you know Kevin Brereton chose the moniker k-os because it stands for Knowledge Of Self?  I'm always unsure whether it's supposed to be typed k-os or K-OS.  I see both all over the place.

I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration.  I'm submitting "Panic Switch" by Silversun Pickups. "Lazy Eye" was one of my favourite songs of 2007.  "Panic Switch" is no "Lazy Eye", but it's that cool Silversun Pickups sound that'll hook you.

I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration.  I'm submitting "Gimme Sympathy" by Metric. I like Emily Haines.  She went to Etobicoke School of the Arts, a breeding ground of sorts for cool Canadian music.  If you took some time to chart it, you could link Metric, Broken Social Scene and

I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration.  I'm submitting "Laces Out" by Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker. I've already confessed that I love the sound of USS.  I really do.  It's right up my alley. I've seen them live a couple of times and I've enjoyed everything I've heard from them.  "Laces

I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration.  I'm submitting "The Girl" by City and Colour. My wife doesn't understand how I can enjoy Slipknot and a tune like this, back-to-back.  I can head bang with the best of them, and turn on a dime to chill to the sweet sound

I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration.  I'm submitting "Consoler Of The Lonely" by The Raconteurs. Jack White is the hardest working man in showbiz today.  There's The White Stripes, all that Jack White stuff, The Raconteurs and now, the Dead Weather.  The Dead Weather is Jack White on vocals/

I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration.  I'm submitting "Use Somebody" by Kings Of Leon. I'm a little behind with my SLS duties.  All of Only by the Night is pretty awesome, but this is one of my favourite tracks.

I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration.  I'm submitting "Ghetto Love" by Spinnerette. This very cool video, directed by Liam Lynch, features Spinnerette's Brody Dalle.  Brody Dalle is no stranger to SLS.  Two tunes from her previous band, The Distillers, have previously made the grade.

I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration.  I'm submitting "Your English Is Good" by Tokyo Police Club. You know how I love to be current with today's new music.  This track was actually released on July 9, 2007.  18-months later, I deem it SLS-worthy.

I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration.  I'm submitting "Oh, The Boss is Coming!" by Arkells. These guys are from Hamilton and they've got a fun tune on their hands here.  This is my music @ work.

I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration.  I'm submitting "Ulysses" by Franz Ferdinand. I'm really digging this new Franz Ferdinand track.  The quiet parts actually remind me of Flight of the Conchords, but don't tell Franz Ferdinand that.  Great tune.

I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration.  I'm submitting "Wannabe in LA" by Eagles of Death Metal. Maybe I like this song because 102.1 plays it 20 times a day.  Maybe familiarity doesn't breed contempt.

I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration.  I'm submitting "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations on a Shaker Hymn)" by Weezer. This might be my favourite Weezer single since "El Scorcho."  It's all over the place... And the opening sirens really mess with you when you're driving.
