crestingwaves Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Can anyone imagine how bloody brilliant the lighting for the live show is going to be for Violet Hill? I cannot wait to see them live again this time round. I remember reading somewhere that this album they concentrated on making songs that were good for live performances or something...JOY!!!

el_scorcho Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I wish they would come to my coast..would definitely be amazing to see them live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airieslady Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Well, they did away with the alternative station here in Orlando. One day it was just gone! It went from ORock to Sunny... hell! They are now playing all this really old old mainstream rock from like the 70's. There is no more alternative station in Orlando, FL. Just a top 10 pop and a hard rock... They will not play Coldplay ever! I just play my mp or cd player in car or tune into the BBC on my computer! It must be nice to hear them on your radio stations. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolyn Marie Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I would like to know what Jim DeRogatis will have to say about Violet Hill, if anything. I'm sure he will have plenty to say once the album drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I turned on the radio in Australia after the XFM release. And I got the tailend of one of our radio stations playing it. The two DJs afterwards were shit though. The guy was like "it's alright"...and the chick was bagging the crap out of them. So I turned it off. Like I said in another thread... Australia's mainstream music idea has gone down the toilet. ..hopefully the public might think differently to her though. We shall see. Fox FM haven't played them (big suprise) and nobody else has. I think they're trying to hide its existance ;( It's ridiculous, two days after the release, and not one play. It's because Australian radio stations SUCK. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavi Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I havent been listening to the radio for the last two days.. so I dont know. But on the website of the radio I listen to here in France, you can listen to VH from the main page.. so I guess they've been playing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookyMnstr Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 OMG, It's 6:33am here in New Jersey, and I'm reading this thread right before bed (I work nightshift). Since everyone is reporting hearing VH, I went to the NYC metro rock station site --KROCK--to see if it's on their playlist, and found out that they have an online only "alternative" station. And what comes out through my speakers??? A Rush of Blood to the Head! hehe I don't think I ever heard that on radio, even online stream only. Well, don't know if they're playing VH, but I did request it, so we'll see... P.S. And right after AROBTTH, they played REM's Supernatural Superserious, which wasn't it named after Chris's suggestions??? interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IneedYou23 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Yea like i said here in the San Francisco area they are playing it.Everytime they play it on Alice 97.3 they do the whole promo thing about the new album and playing bits of old coldplay songs in the background and it has chris sayin the whole"youre listening to alice 97.3" thing.Pretty cool!!

gvargas Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Ive been checking up on the recently played lists on some stations here in Chicago and they haven't been playing it at all. Im kind of surprised since it is way up there in the UK supposedly. Have you heard it on the radio? I heard it on Tuesday Morning on the "We play everything" music radio station...which I think is 92.7. I think the morning DJ is a big fan, so she probably downloaded the song and played it. She said they would be playing it a few more times throughout the day. But, I never heard it again. I also haven't heard it on any of the other radio stations...it's new music Thursday on xrt, so they might play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australians mainstream music idea has gone down the toilet. ..hopefully the public might think differently to her though. We shall see. I concur. The music here in Australia is horrible. Most mainstream listeners are so closed minded. I heard Violet Hill on Tripple J the other day. Wonderful, it felt as if they were playing it for me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collee Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I live 40 miles north of Boston Massachusetts and the only station I've heard it on is a local indie station, they played it the first morning it was available and it has stayed in their rotation.
