O.K. We have all (well a lot of us) have had the chance to absorb the new album.
Now we need to do something for the band. We need to get them on the air and get some attention. Specifically, radio and satellite radio (for now). I searched both the XM and Sirius playlist and Ill be damned if neither have played anything off the new album. Sirius plays Tones and Rain and that is it. They play BM only like 5 times a month. XM goes deeper and more often but no new material. People are not going to buy music if they don't know about it.
Now I know I am one person and this is one forum. I figure even if I convince 10 readers here to bombard various radio stations with emailed requests, etc. it will not MAKE A DIFFERENCE (sorry, had to).
So I am looking for ideas or suggestions on how we can do our part for this band giving us great music. I know some have been to the shows and bought the album and feel that is enough. Thats cool. I get it. The mods have done an awesome job with this forum. Matt does an awesome job with the podcast. What else can we do?
I try and remember that we here have a passion for Blind Melon that a lot do not. I just feel this music is really really good and more people should hear it. Maybe I am all emotional this Saturday morning after such an awesome week. Don't worry, I didn't start my period. I cannot. I am male. I just want to give back to those I feel give to me.
Enough.
Peace.

I just thought of one thing. Can the forum podcast be added to itunes? I know anyone can pretty much put there own podcast up on itunes for free (as long as it's hosted somewhere else). That would surely get some more free attention for the band. Just a thought.
Peace.
