O-Rock 105.9 Orlando - Playing WHOLE ALBUM!

[womanfish]

Yep, you heard right. They are playing it all night tonight. They are proudly announcing "We are the first to illegally play the entire new U2 album tonight"

Not sure how to feel about them doing that....

But Miracle Drug and Blinding Lights. WOW.

 

[Dragonfave]

I smell a lawsuit coming.............

 

[starsgoblue]

Yeah they could get in alot of trouble for playing those on the air...BUT if this helps to show the light to potential new U2 fans it could be good.

 

[AussieU2fanman]

MAJOR lawsuit!

 

[Axver]

Haha, they are officially awesome!

 

[Se7en]

maybe interscope leaked this purposely?

 

[womanfish]

yeah, seems a little sketchy. i'm assuming interscope may have a hand in this. Maybe they think if people hear it on the radio it will raise awareness and anticipation, while at the same time taking away the need to download it just to hear it. could be a good thing. who knows.

All I know is that no other band in the world can create this much buzz. Incredible really.

 

[womanfish]

Holy shit!! All Because of You!!! Good God this album rocks

 

[starsgoblue]

Wait a hot second....why Orlando? Weren't there rumors that the tour would start in Florida? Or is my imagination too much?

We'll just have to wait and see if there are any backlashes against the station for doing this...

 

[starsgoblue]

All I know is that no other band in the world can create this much buzz. Incredible really.

That's because they're BADASS!

 

[cdparky]

I hope the station gets sued in to bankruptcy. It's a shame it's comes out in this manner.

 

[Acrobatic]

Nice! Except, the O doesn't come in to clear here in Lakeland. Why can't the Bone catch on?

It's a beautiful fall night to cruise around and have a new U2 soundtrack in tow.

 

[bonojr62]

Rock on sweet stuff.

 

[Party Boy]

What is the reaction from the station/listeners to the songs?

 

[womanfish]

They haven't really played anyone who has called in. It's a "radio personality show" that doesn't ever really play the calls in. they are saying that everyone that is calling in is loving it, but what else are they gonna say right? They said that they have recieved calls from stations around the country wanting to get the CD from them so that can play it in their area and they said screw you! Again, what else are they gonna say?

The DJ's do really seem to be really excited and love it. they say each song seems to top the last.

 

[mellyinsf]

I'm trying to call no answer. I guess they wouldn't answer would they?

 

[AussieU2fanman]

Sombody from Interscope would have read these boards, reported it to their managment and Interscope would have contacted the radio station immediately. I wouldn't get your hopes up

 

[womanfish]

i called and got through. they picked up pretty quickly. they seem to want the feedback, they keep giving out the number.

 

[mellyinsf]

I just called they are sort of denying it. They asked how I heard about it from LA HAHA

 

[starsgoblue]

Did you tell them?

 

[mellyinsf]

Did you tell them?

I said the news travels fast on the internet. They said what site I said interference.com. I was live on the air when I said this. I hope that is not bad.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

 

[mellyinsf]

I just wanted to see if it was for real, please tell me was that bad?

 

[starsgoblue]

I don't see why that'd be bad....


Should it be?

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

The banging thing was mostly directed at the station for playin' it.

 

[mellyinsf]

Hey I just wanted to know fact, so I called, they put me on the air. If they are playing it, then I assume other radio stations will start. Interscope and U2 will not sue every radio station in the country.

 

[mellyinsf]

The banging thing was mostly directed at the station for playin' it.

I totally agree lemon, this could **** up a lot of things, including the fact that I do not have my U2 Ipod yet to download HTDAAB.

 

[discothequeLP]

you don't need the ipod to download from itunes, do you?

 

[mellyinsf]

you don't need the ipod to download from itunes, do you?

nope, but that is when I planned on signing up for I-tunes.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

if PM didn't shut this place down over the fake edge fiasco, they're certanly not gonna do something about reporting that a radio station is playing the album illegal
