PopTodd Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 My song "Break My Heart" was just played on this fantastic SWEDISH radio show, also broadcast in San Francisco, and now archived as a podcast!And the DJ had some really nice things to say about the song (and about my band, in general) on the air, too!http://icecreammanpowerpop1967.podomatic.com/entry/2015-08-22T02_00_00-07_00 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 How did you find out they played it? I've been in a few bands that got radio play, but we only knew about it because we'd hear the songs when they came on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 How did you find out they played it? I've been in a few bands that got radio play, but we only knew about it because we'd hear the songs when they came on.The show's host contacted me and told me how much he liked my tunes, and that he picked up a couple to play on his show. So I followed his FB page where, prior to the show airing, he posts a list of a bunch of the bands that he'll be playing that week.Then, to find out which song it was that he played, I just check out the show -- in my case, after it's been archived as a podcast. He's been really flattering to me/us, and not just played our music, but said some really nice things on the air, too. (This is the second time he's played us.)

PopTodd Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 So I found out that this is the song that they played this time:"Cary's Here"From the first Hop On Pop record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 That's great. I remember the first time I heard a song on the radio that I had played on. That was an exciting moment, and it still makes me feel good that WREK here in Atlanta reruns our in-studio live performance from 1996 every six months or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
