The only way they're going to get a hit single is if it gets picked up by the radio, specifically Radio 1. Forget it lads, it ain't happening.

You take that back Dr. Cheese!

Maybe we could all email Jo Wiley and demand she plays it, she used to be a Bunnymen fan back in the day.

I'm sure if she gets flooded with ten emails from here she'll have no option but to buckle and make it her record of the week (or "pet sound" as she likes to call it - silly cow).

That's pro-active thinking Dr. Cheese. I like it! Let's do it gang!

Sorry to rain on your parade, Dr Cheese.

Aside from the fact Wiley isn't there, so far 99% of the people have expressed disappointment over the track snippets. Will the emails pur in despite people being unhappy with the product? Honest question.

OMG. They retire early at the BBC...

I only listen to Chris Moyles on Radio 1 so I won't miss Jo Wiley (worthy but dull) or Edith Bowman (Scottish).
