49Music seems to just keep getting bigger and bigger. I have no real understanding of this as I am not nor have I ever been in Canada, but apparently it's getting some decent publicity and the hits are way up (especially on the Islands section, which I run).
I just got word that we're going to start doing a "staff picks" weekly column where each of us (now 4) picks 3 songs to download and 1 album to buy/download/legally aquire per week, all Canadian artists. again, not being Canadian, I need to think a bit harder about my picks just to make sure they're Canadian and not somebody I just plain like. here's the current list of bands I want to promote there:

Ninja High School
Final Fantasy
Moxy Fruvous
Great Big Sea
Kupek
girlsareshort
MSTRKRFT
The Salteens
The Most Serene Republic
The Russian Futurists
Paper Moon
B'ehl
Quentin
Plumtree
RUSH
Sloan
The Lovely Feathers
Islands
Holy Fuck
The Dears

aside from Neil Young and Joni Mitchel, what other Canadian musicians can I promote on here (that I would actually want to promote)? email any suggestions.
