TV wise I don't think I'll be that lucky. Back in the beginning when I only had VH-1 from 8 pm to midnight I desperately wished to be able to see MTV all day long. Now I got that and MTV pop and VIVA and VIVA plus. And if I have to see Britney Spears either telling me she is not a girl not yet a woman or whining about feeling overprotected one more time I'm going to go out to buy myself an O-Town CD. They are definitely better than their German counterparts "No Angels" and "Bro'Sis". Birgit Looking for a way to get VH-1 back! www.clickfish.com - der menschliche Internet-Guide.

There's also Aware Records, for much the same reasons. Both have tremendous grass-roots promotion ability...which is where we all might come in to the picture. Do ya think it would be a good idea to start contacting friendly radio people here in the States and get them apprised of the boys' predicament - Alison or whomever - I know 'XRT in Chicago and KTCZ (Cities 97) in Minneapolis are staunch supporters of the band from way back and would be crushed to have confirmation of the band losing their deal - I'd be up to getting together a pointed email list of these and other US stations - anyone wanna compose the text of the email?....Alison?.....Bueller?.....

Hmmmm, nice ring to it... I must have caught him while online, because he answered immediately. I sent some ideas for label and asked him what their actual contractual status is over here. I would guess that Mercury UK owns the record and would license it to a US label. I actually sent email to ATO Records (the US home to David Gray) and Nettwerk America (the US home to Neil Finn & The Devlins) telling them that a great band is on the market.
