This is so geeky, but I thought I'd just let everyone know:
Our four song UK import EP is the #2 most added record on CMJ this week. I think we got something like 79 adds nationally, in terms of college
radio. Pretty exciting for us, I must say - this really blows our minds. Keep in mind - this is for an import EP! Crazy....
Best,

Why is that geeky? :P It's fantastic! That college word-of-mouth-playlist is a very strong indicator of ground-roots interest.
Now...get some large posters to those independent record stores near campuses. They love those things Phobiac - 7-9-2003 at 10:17 AM
I know what you are saying JMJ. The EP rocks and I love the production-value-add to the Ima Robot sound, but I can only imagine from what I've
heard of the album that eveyone is going to be blown away by the release on 9-16-2003 (if that date holds).
I think the timing and environment is really good for this one!
Do you know how the college stations are getting Dynomite. Is there a seperate college EP being sent around that includes Dynomite? Or just a
Dynomite single? Many of the adds in the states are for Dynomite, correct?poobs - 7-9-2003 at 11:09 AM
Ha! Geeky? No way! You're just totally stoked, as are we! Congrats, guys!:DPhobiac - 7-9-2003 at 11:23 AM
I just noticed that JMJ is a Spitfire now...

I second that! :Ddraconian - 7-9-2003 at 02:04 PM
The only place I have seen the single for Dynomite mentioned is on that German or British online ordering service, can't recall the name...so I
think that the EP is getting the radio plays, likely any or all of the songs on it.
My college radio station loves EPs and doesn't limit itself to singles. I've heard some debate in favor of the EP over the album since you
can really pack it with good songs at a relatively low price.Phobiac - 7-9-2003 at 03:38 PM
But KFSD is playing Dynomite.
Where are they getting Dynomite from? A special single. I'm sure it’s a Virgin led marketing program for radio stations. Is it on a compilation
with other artists or a stand-alone disc? That's what I'm curious about.draconian - 7-9-2003 at 04:40 PM
Okay, then I have a question, too. If it is being played as a single, what's the B-side? The vinyl Black Jetta doesn't have one. After
hearing the excellent STD Dance and Spearmint, we were hoping these would appear as Bs, possibly on Dynomite or Jettas.draconian - 7-10-2003 at 11:20 AM
Okay, I am going to start listing some of the individual college adds in this thread - so if any of you out there are in these areas, be sure to phone
the radio stations up and make requests!
