YOU WANT TO HEAR NEW ORDER ON KROQ? GO VOTE NOW!
I live here in Los Angeles and there is a radio station called KROQ that is
an enormous influence on stations all over the nation when it comes to the
alternative scene. At one time, they played New Order and Electronic in
heavy rotation, but lately they barely give New Order any play. Seems
there's no space for it in the age of Limp Bizcut. Anyway, here's where I
need the assist.
On the site www.kroq.com there is a spot where people can vote for their
favorite songs of the 90's. Anyone can vote, but vote only once. What I'm
hoping is that with the help of your site we can jam them with votes for New
Order, Electronic, Revenge, Monaco, and Other Two. Here's why it's
important.
A few years back the same station did a vote thing asking for favorite KROQ
style bands. Somehow Metallica made it far up the list, despite the station
NEVER having played them before. Since then, Metallica songs are frequently
in the rotation. Meanwhile, the last two Electronic albums got absolutely
no play, Monaco got very little, and New Order is looking like they're not
gonna get any play with the newest singles. Hopefully if they get enough of
a response the station will take notice and fix this injustice. 'Bout the
only band from back in the day they still play is D'Mode, and KROQ needs a
reminder of their roots.
So can you please help? Just post a notice on your sight to goto
www.kroq.com and click on the Labor Day Countdown section and vote for stuff
ONLY from the 90's. I might also point out that voting for the singles
would be the best approach since that's all they ever really played of the
90's stuff.
