104.9 Funky Monkey will not be playing the single until they get it, which will be on May 21st.

I wonder why some stations have it, and others won't be getting it until the 21st?

how could they play it before they received it? :think:

I guess my question is why are some markets getting it this monday, and others not till the following monday.

I've been a collector of promo singles for years. Radio stations used to get promo singles a week or more before they were supposed to play them. They usually have a sticker or info on the date you were allowed to play them. I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Itunes. I can almost bet that Tarantula will debut on Itunes before the promo play date... you usually get an e-mail the night before from the fan club, web site, mailing list...etc.

That's how bands are beating piracy... making you spend $0.99.

The funny thing is that you believe we'd get an e-mail update from the Sp website. :rolleyes:

LOL... :p :rofl: :D ... good point. Well, we at least have an official MySpace page being run by a few teenagers.

It's hard to believe that some stations have gotten Tarantula... How about some details about the CD itself, COVER ART PEOPLE!... How many tracks?... album edit?... It should have some special art though.

A few promo posters and some stickers showed up on Ebay... using the flag art. So who knows what to expect.

I work for a different radio station in Seattle, in the same building as Funky Monkey. .actually I'm looking into their studio as I write this. Anyway, I've spoke to the afternoon show as well as various people in programming trying to get my hands on the single.

I can confirm that they will NOT play it before its released AND that they dont even have it yet. I will have it, hopefully a day before its played. Im not convinced that the KC station has it, much less be playing it on Monday. I call BS.

im very good friends with the program directors of KLBJ and 101x here in Austin (owned by the same company). they don't have it, havent seen it and dont expect it until the week before the single release. they said it was highly unlikely that other stations have it at this time.

The community radio station I volunteer at will probably get a promo CD or two...after the song has been out on the net for days already. I will snatch up any duplicates like YOINK!

I will guarantee this. . 107.7 the end will be the first to air Tarantula. They moved the atypical date for Endfest so SP could headline. . .and I know that a part of the deal was to be the first station to air the new song.

I have a HUGE bounty out to all Seattle stations to leak the album/song to me first.

Stay tuned. . .

The end is the biggest "alt rock" station in town. Not a big leap to think that it'll be the first station to play the signal.


You work in radio?


BIG FUCKING DEAL.

btw -- doesn't surprise me that clear channel will be the first to play. SP recently did an on-stage rehearsal show at the Congress Theater, which is a Clear Channel venue.
