It sounds, to me at least, that Thea's trying to get more mainstream radio airplay. It's too bad that her usual format can't do that. The Coast, which used to be a rather nifty South Coast station that actually played Ecto-ish music, is long gone now, replaced by a Jack station that sounds like all of the other Jack stations and doesn't bother with disc jockeys most of the time. The Coast actually played Thea Gilmore and other Ecto-ish artists, such as Rachael Sage. Unfortunately, it seems as if most of the radio stations left in Britain only want manufactured pop. :( Ellen ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2013 00:27:01 -0500 From: Tim Jones-Yelvington Subject: Remember Casey Desmond?? ...from ectofest in 2007?? apparently she is now a "synth pop princess." http://thequ.co/2013/03/20/gay-jam-of-the-day-casey-desmond-bad-habit/ Not surprised. She did not seem like one who was going to stick with singer songwriter piano pop for long. ~ tim ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #721 ***************************
