neepheid Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Yeah, fuck Radio 2, they're not playing the 'Spoons EP in its entirety on the hour every hour, the muppets. In fact, fuck all radio for not playing our stuff. Fuck you every promoter/venue/blogger who never even bothered to reply to email never mind listen to and act upon the music we sent you. And fuck all of you who have also failed in your obligation to listen to our stuff. I've had enough, I'm going to cry until I have enough tears to drown you all, you fucking philistines. Or, nah, we're cool. Can you imagine if I actually went off like that, like we've got some sort of birthright to have people listen to and play to others our music? *shudder* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Owl PhD Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I guess it works though. She now has an article in a national newspaper with the video of her song embedded, so yeah... Having 'invented' the MySpace promotion to number one single route she's now invented the Facebook meltdown to article in national newspaper route. Sandi's a shrewd operator. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 This is an outrage. Radio 2 owes her a living and they're not coughing up. Broken Britain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 NOBODY IS GOING TO HEAR MY SONG BECAUSE THE BBC IS THE ONLY PLACE TO DISTRIBUTE MUSIC IN 2015. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltz Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Wanting to be played on Radio 2 is like saying "yes! My music is boring as fuck!".People regularly die listening to Radio 2. From natural causes. Old age. Being so dull you can't continue to live.Apart from when Terry Wogan was on, but fuck me he played some absolute shite.Anyway, all the best Sandi, GBOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2015/nov/12/sad-truth-behind-sandi-thoms-tearful-facebook-video This article sums it up nicely. Tough titties basically. You don't hear the lead singer of Nizlopi greetin coz he can't get back on the radio. I don't know how differently i'd feel if we were talking about a really good song - It's just not though. It's an outstandingly ok song by a singer whose fifteen minutes were up a while ago. That doesn't make for good radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 We're witnessing the very public mental disintegration of a national treasure here, mates. The Scottish music G.O.A.T is falling apart before our very eyes. I think there's something in my eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Broonbreed Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I can honestly say I've never heard any of her songs, ever. It must be tough realising your washed up, over, finito. But for fuck sake, have some dignity. Get a job at the Spar or some shit and fuck off whilst you're doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaneur Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Poor communication skills...... does she not know the correct person to bribe at these networks? Surprised she can't sell that song in Nashville. There has to be a market for cliched power ballad shite over there, surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorlum Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 I,l be honest i had,nt really heard of her but i,m sure all this publicity wont do her 'career' any harm.The right honourable Niall Mathiewson of Pallas fame has just completed his long awaited solo project.I wonder how many plays he gets from R2 not that i think that would bother him in the slightest.

Oedo 808 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Her songs are shit, her lyrics abysmal and although her Dad's money bought her decent PR representation her career has found its level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 I did. It's very by the numbers radio-friendly pop. Catchy chorus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Does it have any guitar harmonies or pinch harmonics? It must have loads 'cause there must be a reason why it's not getting played on Radio 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kybosh Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Her songs are shit, her lyrics abysmal and although her Dad's money bought her decent PR representation her career has found its level.Her dad was a fisherman who was badly injured at work then retrained as a helicopter pilot for bond so I don't think he could be described as "monied" , he and her mother are also divorced and have been for quite a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
