(antiMusic) Before we get to today's quicks, we have a quick thanks to all of the readers who took the time to submit suggestions for our annual "what artists do you want us to cover" survey. Like last year's survey, we got a lot of great submissions for artists and this helps us shape the Day in Rock so we know which artists to keep our eyes on.

So rest assured, we'll do our best to bring you the latest on the artists you want to know about. Thanks again to everyone for taking part. We'll keep the suggestion box up for another week, in case you haven't had a chance to put in your favs yet. You'll find it at the end of the first page of the Day in Rock report each day this week.
