FYI - we will NOT be adding the song. While, technically, there are more people that are into hearing the song - the number of people that are passionately opposed to Skrillex are too great for us to ignore. Cool? adam@sonic1029.com Thanks again for your feedback!

For years, I've sent in new artists or songs that I've found to the station - sometimes they make it to air, and sometimes they don't. I think this is what sets Sonic apart from the other stations, the fact that they're "Modern" not that they're "Rock". The fact that as listeners we have a vote in this says a lot about the respect they have for their audience - and for the record, I voted no - but as you can see in the results, the No's are the minority. Looks like the vote was a pretty smart idea :) Hi Matt – I think you make a few valid points, but something that I think you’re missing is that Sonic has always been our radio station – as listeners.

Here's an example, do Kings of Leon or the Arkells have the same exact formula for making music as The Stones or Zeppelin? No, they don't because smart people over time expanded their idea of what music CAN BE, said screw the opposition and went for it. And for annother thing, when do you ever hear Skrillex played in Edmonton? If we're relying on the Hot107 for musical integrity and advancement, we're something that rhymes with duck.

Skrillex isn't just vanilla 3-chord club pop with disturbingly overpaid, under-talented rappers who hate music. This is more like progressive rythmic tribal beats of the 21st century. It's not strictly melodic, I think the new wave of electronic music is just extreem procussionists who program their deck similar to how drummers chose their brand of drum kit. It's too progressive to play on Edmonton's other homogeneous insipid stations, that's why it fits perfectly on Sonic. Just remember, all truth is first mocked, second violently opposed, and third aceepted without question.

Hell a lot of the new "rock" music can barely be called rock and still gets played. Gotye for example is not rock music, yet it is the number 1 song on Sonic. If Sonic can play The Prodigy without complaints, why cant it play Skrillex? Sonic plays Daft Punk, The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim and a few other electronic artists.

People may or may not enjoy this type of music, and it might be nice to hear it from time to time, but you are not a top 40 station, or a hit music station. you are a modern ROCK station. if you begin playing songs completely outside the genre because it is popular, you will slowly over time become a hit music station. If you want to begin playing music such as this, one could make the argument why not dip into country. Taylor Swift probably has more followers on twitter, is easier on the eyes, and has more grammy's than Shrillex, but I bet playing some of her music hasn't crossed your mind. Come on Sonic, you're the one redeeming radio station Edmonton has that doesn't play complete garbage. don't sell out. You are “Edmonton’s Modern Rock” and this is not rock.

You know how you advertise the station 24/7 as "Edmonton's MODERN ROCK, Sonic 102.9"? Well of course you do. People listen to this station BECAUSE it is modern rock. People tune in because they want to hear rock n roll, alternative rock, indie rock, etc. Notice how the key word here is rock? Skrillex is not modern rock. Dubstep is not modern rock. At all. Not even a little bit. It's a completely different genre. Yea it's a new thing, yea it's gaining popularity, and that's great and all, but that doesn't change the fact that it still has no relevance to modern rock. If you like Skrillex, then that's great, all the power to you. However, just because you like it doesn't mean it should be thrown into the playlist of a station that specifically advertises itself as modern rock. If you are so determined to listen to Skrillex on your radio, then change the station. There are stations out there that already play it. Go there and have a dubstep dance party. Judging by the responses on the facebook page regarding this poll, it seems that all the people who are voting yes are doing so with the logic "I like Skrillex, so therefore Sonic should play it". I love Foo Fighters, The Black Keys, Blink-182, Nirvana, Muse, etc etc etc. If I asked Hot 107 to play these bands just because I like them, they would probably tell me to take a hike and listen to a station that already plays that kind of music. The bands I like do not fit into that station, and that's fine, because they play genres of music that fit their own demographic. Why would I try to change a radio station that is clearly geared towards a different audience? Well, same story here. Sonic has a pretty clear cut demographic. Stick to it. Hell, as painful as it is to say, a band such as Nickelback is far more relevant in the discussion of modern rock than Skrillex, seeing as Nickelback at least falls into the category of rock. However, if Sonic started playing Nickelback people would probably egg the station and start a riot. Even Linkin Park's latest album basically got shunned by Sonic because they changed gears in their musical direction, and they are still far more relevant to modern rock than Skrillex or any dubstep artist. If Sonic is so concerned about if people like Skrillex to determine whether it should get played or not, why are you even bothering to advertise yourself as modern rock? You might as well advertise yourself as Edmonton's "we'll play whatever artist is popular" station. This is so wrong.

I know many people will argue that they aren't rock, but the thing about modern alternative music is that it's really broadened and expanded beyond just rock. It's more of a movement in all genre's off pushing the boundry, and I would hardly mind hearing Alternative kinds of Dubstep, Drum and Bass, House, and even rave music during the late night, as long as it has some sort of reason to still be part of the alternative genre. This means people like Madeon and Lemaitre are perfectly acceptable in my mind, but don't be throwing in David Guetta and company, because that simply isn't music. Anyone agree?

This city alone has incredibly talented producers - and not to mention the likes of every artist coming out of the UK - Do some research before jumping on the "Skrillex" bandwagon - There's much more to the genre blends than just Skrillex.. and although Sonic plays some pretty gnarly modern rock and this would be a great step forward - I think you are limiting yourself - and going to create flack for only featuring one artist - Especially from your local producers here in Edmonton (I being one of them), Majority of artists - even ones you play on Sonic are jumping ship to more of an electronic feel - the world as a whole is accepting the electronic music revolution - but if you want to stay on top and get the best amount of feedback/listeners/promotion - try starting up a late night dubstep show featuring the top tracks for the week around the globe - BBC radio 1 does it and it's a HUGE success - because they don't just feature ONE MAINSTREAM artist - and by being a "late night" show you won't be alienating the regular listeners tuning in at work - I think you would have more success from that... but that's just one local DJ/Producers opinion. PS - I do a weekly podcast mix of the newest in dubstep/moombah/dirty electro every week on my soundcloud :P Honestly there are SO MANY great producers out there that top the sounds of Skrillex.

Majority of artists – even ones you play on Sonic are jumping ship to more of an electronic feel – the world as a whole is accepting the electronic music revolution – but if you want to stay on top and get the best amount of feedback/listeners/promotion – try starting up a late night dubstep show featuring the top tracks for the week around the globe – BBC radio 1 does it and it’s a HUGE success – because they don’t just feature ONE MAINSTREAM artist – and by being a “late night” show you won’t be alienating the regular listeners tuning in at work – I think you would have more success from that… but that’s just one local DJ/Producers opinion.

Then you flip open the top and go to take that first sip, if the lid has been placed on the cup in such a fashion that the seam of the cup is in the opening, because of the lids low profile, when you’re tired and just want your morning jolt it’s like the sensation of a dismembered finger with a big nasty fingernail brushing against your lip and tongue. I’m sure that by virtue of working at Tim Horton’s you’d have to have experienced this sensation and I have to wonder if they do it to people as a nasty joke or something. It would be nice if there was a common term to describe this. I think it would be a sweet power move to be able to walk into a Timmie’s and when the gruff, no nonsense lady barks you to the cash register you could say, “I’ll have a large, two milks one sugar.. oh yeah, and don’t XYZ me…” I’ve got something that is not awesome,

The last time, there was enough evidence to try and bust them; I haven't heard how it's gone. I've gone to court to prosecute against youths (10 to 14 year olds) for shop lifting. It pulls at heart strings, families are in the store after school, so they have backpacks on, nothing new there, but when they go through the till, they are noticeably enlarged, so they have to be stopped.
