Billy,

I will definitely be calling 98.9 The Rock (KC) to request loaded!!!! I wasnt sure when they would be able to start playing it. If you have seen it, what do you think of the clip on 6767 of the girl thinking Dave had a British accent? That was very amusing this morning. Take care and I am so glad everything is going so well with you and all that are involved!!!! I got my brother to committ to go to the Salina KS show. I need to call about tix yet. Have a good one!! Let the count down to 07/03/07 begin!!! Now that the Sopranos are over I think Loaded will be my ringtone now!!! Niki

Loaded does kick MUCH ass! I heard it on XM Sunday night.
I know a DJ at that Tulsa station! Shes a good friend to us all!

All the best,

Dennis

billy,

being a resident in tulsa and a long time lurker\poster on this board i have to say it is very cool to hear diablo getting some middle america play on radio and hope that somehow we can use this to get you guys to come and play at the great Cain's ballroom. the cult did a show hear and its just an awsome up-close venue for the fans and the band.

CONGRATS!!
I just emailed the request to play Loaded on 92.3 K-rock because they don't have on-air DJ's yet...

Total hotness. I'm not big into caling radio statios other than indie 103 theese days but I'll try.Mad props...u deserve every ouunce of success this record will bring! Would be cool to hear u on Stern's show when you're in town. See you at the Dragonfly 7/5! Can't wait to esape NY for a bit.Much love, Slice x

i can really see the album being huge....theres not alot around like it these days and you fuckin deserve it billy.

I love you Paul, honest. LOL
There were actually 2 Davids.
The 1st David was in high school (1st kiss).
The 2nd David was my fiance's best friend.
But forgetting about Christopher is harder than all the Davids and Pauls put together.
Maybe it would help if I got this rose tattoo removed...the one with his name on it.
They don't play Loaded on Vibe 98 or CJAY 92.
There's an explanation for that...

If it weren't for Canadian content rules on radio and television, then there would be more time available for other artists from across the continent. Canadian content guidelines comprise a major section of Canada's Broadcasting Act. The Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission has established policies to ensure that Canadian Content is implemented. These regulations govern:
1. creation and production of Canadian programs and music;
2. financial support by the broadcasting system for the creation of Canadian content;
3. how much Canadian content must be aired on radio and television;
4. ratio of Canadian and non-Canadian programming services distributed by Canadian cable companies, direct-to-home satellite services (DTH) and multipoint distribution systems (MDS);
5. Canadian ownership and control of the broadcasting system.
While I agree with promoting Canadian artists who have talent, I disagree with providing airtime to acts who are mediocre or inferior to international artists and would never make it on their own. We won't use any names here. The U.S. and England have no comparable legislation to promote American and British music. Why would they?
ONLY IN CANADA...

Wo0t!!! i got my fukn ozzfest tickets today.........YAAAAYYYY....and not only that i get to see ozzy and circus diablo TWICE.....the 17th in marysville,ca and the 19th @ shoreline in mtn view,ca!!!.....just look for the guy inna wheelchair with a black buckethat and an SRL shirt on.....come say high and smoke a joint with me :P

I've been wandering around the house all night
wondering what the hell to do
Yeah, I'm trying to concentrate but all I can think of is you
well the phone don't ring 'cause my friends ain't home
I'm tired of being all alone
Got the tv on 'cause the radio's playing
songs that remind me of you

Baby when you're gone, I realize I'm in love
days go on and on, and the nights just seem so long
Even food don't taste that good, drink ain't doing what it should
things just feel so wrong, baby when you're gone

I keep driving up and down these streets
trying to find somewhere to go
Yeah i'm looking for a familiar face, but there's no one I know
oh, this is torture, this is pain, it feels like I'm gonna go insane
I hope you're coming back real soon, 'cause i don't know what to do

Baby when you're gone, I realize I'm in love
days go on and on, and the nights just seem so long
Even food don't taste that good, drink ain't doing what it should
things just feel so wrong, baby when you're gone

Baby when you're gone, I realize I'm in love
days go on and on and the nights just seem so long
Even food don't taste that good, drink ain't doing what it should
things just feel so wrong, baby when you're gone

Hell froze over. Bry is on my good list again.

The radio station that I have requested Loaded, thinks I am with a marketing firm. As far as I know they havent played it yet but, I could have missed it as well. Niki

Not to take the shine off Loaded by any means but....

Being the small world that The OC is, I ran in to Alec on Fri nite & he was gracious enuf to give me a copy of CAMP TEDDY's NEW CD! Wooohooooo!!!

IT SO RAWKS!!!!! I love it!

Billy, are you so proud of these guys who you helped nurture & inspire?

There must be a great satisfaction in knowing you have an influence on music of the future, especially when it turns out as well as Camp Teddy rock it!

Airtime: Power, Politics & Money

Many, many years ago in this great country there was a controversial Canadian group called the Payolas. They named themselves after a scandal in the music industry. It was the concept of Payola, or the practice of record companies paying radio stations to play certain musicians on the air. Dick Clark refused to let the Payolas appear on American Bandstand unless they changed their name. They eventually broke up, and the lead singer and guitarist formed another group called Rock and Hyde.

In 1999, a group from Minneapolis called Semisonic recorded a song called "Closing Time". The tune was all right, but definitely not in the same league as "Stairway to Heaven" or "Hey Jude". Somehow "Closing Time" rose to the top of the charts and stayed there for weeks. It received a lot of airplay because MCA spent more than $1 million in radio promotion on the band.

Jessica Simpson and John Mayer have also benefited from similar arrangements between their labels and American radio stations. No wonder those two have been dating recently. They're just the tip of the iceberg.

Here in Canada, several artists are played on FM radio not because they're gifted but because they're Canadian. I like a few good Canadian groups including Great Big Sea, Three Days Grace, and Our Lady Peace. Yet there are many other Canadian bands that I can live without. But if the radio stations here don't follow Canadian Content laws, then they will lose their broadcasting licences. Enough said.

Happy Father's Day

Billy Bob!!!!!!
Bif Naked, Bryan Adams and Rik Emmett from Triumph are my new "friends".
It's just so cool.
That totally makes up for the a**hole who gave me a hard time at the Rogers Wireless store when I had to take my Sony Eriksson phone in for repairs for the second time today!
Hope you had a cool day with your dad.
Bye...

i had a good fathers day....i do have kids ...somewhere....im sure i do....
they never gave me any presents thats for sure!

I never in a million years thought I would be able 2 say out loud, 'I have representation and Paris does not.'

Billy, a question 4 you please: Your thoughts on today's lawsuit filed in Los Angeles concerning Motley Crue. We love Tommy Lee! And your mate did a reality show so please, your 2 cents. Gracias~
