Smash Hit/Trash It
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008
Last Friday we had our very first edition of Smash Hit or Trash It! This is where we play a brand spanking new song that you’ve never heard before and we ask your opinion on it. This gives us chance to test out new songs with you. You like it, we play it again. You don’t, it goes in the garbage along side the new album from Good Charlotte (ohhhh snap!).
April 4th we played The new Raconteurs track Salute Your Solution. This is a song that just kinda came out of nowhere, the band wanted to beat music pirates and release their album Consolers Of The Lonely with little notice. The idea is to release it before everyone gets to review it and priates get to put it on the internet..just like the good ‘ol days. See, what happens now is a band will release a CD a month or so before you can buy it; to give magazine, radio stations, and the media a chance to talk about the album and promote it in hopes that you hear about it and want to buy it. but that also opens the door for people to copy it and put it online and then the band loses money. This way, everyone gets it at once and there’s less of a chance fans will download it for free and they will go to the store and buy it (they hope). Anyways, sorry for the rambles…The Result of Smash Hit/Trash It were (drum-roll please..)
Trash It: 44%
Smash Hit: 56%
You can get in on Smash/Trash if you’re a Workforce Member..
Thanks for taking the survey..look forward to this friday!
