I've had prior experience with "over-enthusiastic fans" turning off DJ's with another artist. I think we have to know when and which stations get "Trees", so that our requests make sense.

I wanted to mention that 106.9 does have them on there play list. I have been checking each day and they play them between 2-4 am. So it's in the middle of the night but it seems like they probably are doing it just to get us to stop bugging them.

Yes, they are playing it, due to the influence of the DJ Mike K. Velvet at Lh.com has been in communication with him. He has said that the album/single needs to get more sales before it can be moved up higher on the playlist. Over-eager requests (sending one or more requests each day) will get the band blacklisted. They said they will stop playing a band if a Street Team pushes it too hard by clogging up their e-mail with requests.
I think the key is to get the sales up. How can we make people buy the CD? We're going to have to rely on other Street Team methods, besides requesting the song on radio stations.

I personally can't remember the last time I brought a cd because I heard the song on the radio. The radio stations in my area are so lame. I can only stand listening to them for about an hour cause they over kill songs.
Anyway, it got me to thinking that maybe we are worring about the wrong DJs. maybe we should be working on the DJs in the bars and the clubs. who chooses what they play? Same goes for alot of small music stores or specialty shops.
I used to work in a record store and nothing increased the sales of a cd faster than to play it in the store and the employee usually pick what gets played.
Funny thing about smaller stores they often have alot of spaces to build displays and usually small bugets so they can't always just open up a cd to play, and they are often avoid by the labels. so why give our extra cds to the radio stations that already claim they have too many to choose from? give it the the smaller music stores and the clubs and the local bars to play in their jukeboxes.
the main goal is to get the band heard and increase record sales. if the clubs and other stores start playing them and more people hear them than they buy more cds and than the radio stations will get it.
Just my two cents.
