Radio UHM

It's kind of amazing how many songs there are about the radio, considering nobody under 30 would know what one is. The entire concept seems more an outlet for manufactured geriatric outrage (in sports and politics) than a viable delivery system for new music - but then again I've been wholly ignorant of what's going on with satellite radio. Maybe there's more than one Little Steven's Underground Garage out there. Let me know if you've got suggestions for some of that old-fashioned retro dial tuning.

One of my favorite You Am I songs! I'm excited for the new YAI album. (Ah, the album -- another outdated delivery system for music.)

Don't listen to much terrestrial radio anymore, and never got into satellite radio. But I can recommend the Sloan song "Listen To The Radio".

This is a great collection, thanks. I would absolutely add "On My Radio" by Selecter, a cocaine-fueled Two-Tone Ska classic.

Swilly music is a half Canadian, half American rock band, with members from Nanaimo and Kitimat British Columbia, Toronto, Ontario, and Centennial, Colorado. Fronted by singer/songwriter Steven Williams, a rocker with a bawdy sense of humour, the band takes its name from his nickname and channel down and dirty, classic roots rock. Rounded out by the no-nonsense lead and rhythm guitar of Kevin Campbell, bassist Doug Adair, drummer Carl Holz, keyboard player Jason Long, and supported by lyricist Tammy Throneberry, Swilly has a swaggering appetite for a good time and an in-your-face attitude that is sorely lacking in modern music.
