considering the NY radio climate, that's pretty much as big as Live can get exposure-wise. Kind of makes releasing the album a month later look very stupid.

ah, to be a record exec.

What do you mean? We actually have radio here in NY?

Just for the record (sorry Nick - I gotta say it) WPLJ is owned by Disney. Disney sucks the life out of anything worth listening to. They actually play faster, ever-so-slightly higher-pitched versions of songs, so they can say they play the most music in an hour. The little fucks. I have absolutely ZERO respect for that bullshit. And it wouldn't surprise me if they received $$$$ from record labels to play certain songs more often. I would be more surprised if they DIDN'T accept bribes.

XM radio does that a few times, they did that with "We Deal In Dreams." They played a much faster version. Sounded okay, actually. Have a copy on my computer.

Ed totally killed this morning on PLJ. He was in studio with Matt Gracey. Scott gave Ed lots of props saying that he was one of the voices in the business. Ed thanked him and came across very humble and cool at the same time. He performed awesome acoustic versions of Lightning Crashes and Heaven. They closed out by playing the guitars up version of "The River." This was the first time PLJ played the song and it drew rave reviews from everyone in attendance.

It was an awesome showing by Ed. If PLJ gets behind the song, which it looks like they will, it could have a big ressurgence in the US. It sounded awesome on the radio......total hit if Epic starts the push!

I completely agree with this. I was able to listen to most of his appearance this morning and he sounded awesome. It sounded as if he had been warming up his voice all night! You never would've known it was about 9 in the morning!

Also, those in attendance really did love the new song - I thought I heard the guitars up version! I thought I was hearing things...

I think on a format like WPLJ, a song like "The River" can do great things. Now that it was finally played, especially on that show in the morning, its likely that many people will request it. Ed really did sound down to earth and cool. And I must say, it was great to hear Ed and Live on NY radio again.

I just called Race Taylor to request "The River" he said, "He would love too. He know they played it this morning, and will have to check if they can play it again." Guys if you are a PLJ listener you need to request the song. If you are not from the tri-state area, you can listen to PLJ through an online feed at www.wplj.com.

Request # for PLJ is 1-800-321-WPLJ. The song sounded great this morning, it totally fits PLJ's format, it just need the proper push. If it starts getting airplay in NYC, coupled with the increased airplay in Chicago, other markets are sure to follow.

I think this is the first time someone has actually agreed with me in a really long time...lol
