U.S. DREW airplay

Public Radio KCRW stationed in Santa Monica California just aired DREW....not the radio edit.....the entire song

Great stuff - not a surprise as they've always been Goldfrapp-friendly, especially during the smock-tastic 7T era, but still a very nice bit of news to read :)

So, I'm a bit confused. It's okay for radio stations to play it? That's not considered leaking? If so, then the way early release makes more sense to me. And, Hooray!!!.

That's promotion. It gets word out there via the various channels that TOU is on the way.

Some folks will have known since the email announcement waaaaay back when but many won't have even heard of the band, Sad but true.

Some countries need a small push. Others need ramming with a neon rhino.

If anyone sees any future listings for a radio play on any station in the US, please post here as I would like to tune in!

Couldn't you just play the video, or is there something unique about the radio edit?

Jo_ey

Why do you care

iuventus

Because if there's something unique about the radio edit, I might want to hear it.

I heard the radio edit edited a lot of the power out of it but I just wanna be in the moment to hear it on the radio.

Carpy! For shame!

And to think I supported you as a moderator!

What? Did I use the wrong type of shiny rhino or something?

How did it get stuck up there, exactly?"

Blue Dog on Capital City Radio, NPR out of Sacremento, Ca just played Drew!

Seriously never thought I would hear Goldfrapp on the radio in the states for te last few years (mostly because I don't listen to the radio but also since I don't think US radio ha played Goldfrapp since Strict Machine or possibly Ooh La La)...such a cool feeling I must say.

I'm borrowing a truck to move some boxes and I have NPR on quietly and had just pulled up to my old house and was getting ready to get out of the truck and then bam! Had to sit an listen to the whole thing. The announcer said right after (I might not get it exactly right), "That's the new one from Goldfrapp. In case you thought Goldfrapp was only 'un un un tah, un un un tah' (a typical 4/4 dance beat sound) I submit this song for your listening pleasure. It is the first single Drew from their new album which drops in just a couple weeks and when it shows up on my desk I'll be playing more on Blue Dog...."

Are you familiar with the Blue Dog paintings?

That is really cool! I am psyched that more of ToU will get played. I guess I shouldn't get too excited, since it is just one station but it would be nice to see it ripple through all of NPR and the webstie, as well.

I just started knocking around the NPR website and find it fascinating. It is the most refreshing site for news. Something about it is more....civilized.

Howdy, Stranger!
