It looks like they are getting organized next door. And most importantly, it looks like everyone is willing to work together and cooperate - the most important part. Good for them. I hope they have more success than this fandom did with making things happen for their favorite Idol.

I'm all ears for ideas re: the best way to do this. There are a couple places that could be "headquarters." I think the Radio_JamesDurbin facebook page might be easiest for giving directions but like I said, all ears.

Oh crap - New York touch down.

Back to this. You can PM me. The lists are ready and I know you have lists too. It needs to be publicized. I doubt there will be any promo push after the Superbowl but a final push at the end would be a nice way to move on - on a higher note that shows WindUp how dedicated our little fandom is, rather than a whimper. That was the LMB push motivation too - to show all parties what a united fan base is capable of producing. LMB charted so something worked - or maybe it was just a coincidence. But LMB has gone to overnights and the spin numbers are decreasing now. It is sitting at #50 on HAC (kworb) so I doubt we will see it on the HAC charts this week, or maybe just at the beginning of the week. The irony is that 3 new stations picked it up last week so somebody at WindUp is doing their job for radio airplay. Mediabase still shows it at 39 and the bullet is still up on the 7-day rolling reports - so go figure. They send out their emails on Mondays, or is it Tuesdays. I'm on their mailing list for HAC but I don't remember how I got on it. Last weeks email with the charts showed LMB at #38, but when the chart came out the next day it was sitting at #40.

Dallas and Portland have me mystified. Each station had a packed house for their radio shows. Portland had not had so many people vying for tickets for one of their shows before. And yet, 99% of the spins they are giving LMB, even after that show, are overnights. And Dallas does give evening spins and a tiny fraction during the day. And the PD was totally impressed with the reception James received, even had a dinner party for him and Dina, but where are the spins? Well, I've seen this with Idols before, but the song usually got enough spins to make top 25 on the HAC chart.

Stooch, radio requests often result in evening spins - no big deal there. Drive time is reserved for songs on their playlists. Did any of the stations end up adding Stand Up to their station rotations?

OK, like I said. I'm all ears.

PS - Does anyone know what station in Philly is hosting James' show tomorrow? Atlantic City is Tuesday the 24th. Then he has the two shows back to back in Libertyville and Milwaukee at the end of the month. Then?????? - prep for a tour????

OK well chat tomorrow, right now my eyes are killing me and I'll sleep on some of my ideas and talk about them and maybe bring in some other for input also

Rock 101 streaming rock radio station just played... Love In Ruins...
Does it mean anything? Is LIR the new single now?

I hope so. This is one of the stronger songs in the album. It has a good flow to it.

ETA: Got it to work. Wow! He sounded EXACTLY like Steven

James is so much fun. I'm really appreciating that aspect of his personality since The Bing Lounge show.

I would get everyone who want's to take part to target specific stations instead of everyone going all over the place

Why do people hate on them so much? I get it they don't like them, but the hate is so strong, I'm like huh?

I don't understand the need to tell them. If you don't like them don't listen. But I do see the same thing happen with James

I will listen to anything you think also, because there are probably about 20 of us who will actually do something

Are there folks from that "other place" that will participate? I haven't seen much yet on BD. Maybe I should PM.
