BBC Radio 6 has "In the Time of My Ruin" on its playlist (B playlist for now), and it has already been played on a number of shows:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/listen/playlist.shtml
Maybe it is the time to contact radio stations with requests for tracks from the album?

I love "Highway to Lowdown". It's one of my favorites. The keyboards really make it great. |

Radio 3, the best spanish radio station as far as I know, is airing 'Fast Man' on a regular basis. It's the first time I've heard Frank on the radio.
It was surprising, because last year I buried them with petitions for 'Honeycomb' with no luck.

Since most all of y'all seem to be from across the pond, is Worldspace Satellite Radio anywhere near as popular in the UK as XM and Sirius are in North America? Judging from their Web site, the available programming appears to be rather limited compared to what is available over here. And to add to that, you guys have DAB, which makes our "HD Radio" look like a joke, in comparison.

I actually was listening in to that and was waiting for the roundtable verdict when I had a phone call. By the time I'd done the "No, I can't talk, I'm busy, no, BUSY, I'll call you back, yeah in about ten minutes, no, I'll call you back.." thing I'd missed it all.

Frank seems to get a lot of airplay on XM Satellite Radio:

But it doesn't look like they've played anything from the new album, yet.

Yay! There's a few names there who haven't had the pleasure of one of my emails. I need to start hitting the message boards and a few text lines, too. I checked the gigography for fB radio appearances. GRL (whatever this is/was) and Xfm hosted the man at some point in his career, so I'll pop by and say hello. |

Well what it means is that they'll play one song from fastman raiderman for every show they do that day at the bare minumim. I've mailed for more information on it though to see if I can get them to do more with it. I'll let you know how that goes.

Sure, Tre, we can give that a try if there's something significant to say other than "They might play this song on BBC". We don't want to make FB sound desperate for airplay/as if getting played on BBC is big news, but if they were to spend a little time talking on the new album of something as a result of us promoting them, it could be very cool. Good thinking.

Hey! I just noticed when you click for more information it send you back to here! That's cool, if a little scary. I might email them to see if I can get an idea of what they'll be playing so it can go up on the news or something (if Dean and Brian deem it worthy that is).

Radio Scotland did Honeycomb proud. It was played on Ian Anderson, Bryan Burnett, Janice Forsyth and Tom Morton. With more email requests I'm sure the same will be true for FMRM.

Aaah, the Shirehorses, did you know doofergrass did a song especially for ten percenter???
We are old, we are cheap,
Take our teeth out when we sleep,
Got no friends, bad eyesight,
Feel like shite.
We stop in, we do now't,
Stroke the cat, Put it out,
Smoke a pipe, if we like,
feel like shite.
Do we like stew?
We can't be sure,
We have soup,
But no teeth,
We suck up through a straw.
Cos we are old, we're clapped out,
We're infirm, mope about,
Smell of wee, support tights,
Feel like shite.
