| ok this was really ing lame.. on one of the local radio stations (that usually plays top 40 type music which is about 90% hip hop and 10% alternative) they have this thing at 7:30pm called "bump it or dump it" in which they play a song that is not in the normal rotation to see if it can make it.. well this is how they described Rapture: "a song that has that kylie minoque sound to it" and i was like wat the is this all about?! then they go ahead and played it.. it wasn't the trance remixes, it was i guess the original and afterwards the dj said "so that was Rapture by the group iio" i dunno i had to laugh.. and anyways the range of comments that came in from listeners on the radio were: "dump it" "that music sucks" blah blah! |

haha...they are playing it at the Dallas top 40 stations.
it's getting alot of requests, but it's the original mix. bleh!
Why couldn't they drop the new trance? I would be happy to send them some. |

| I disliked the original but putting it in Kylie Minogue's league is a bit harsh! |

Hehe it's funny you're saying this because it was the complete opposite here! The local radio stations had a field day with the original mix/radio edit. It was impossible to listen to any radio station for more than 15 minutes at the last part of last year without hearing it, and it reached number 2 in the UK Top 40 Singles (it was kept from number one by ing Afroman. Twat.)
Of course we're talking about the original mix (which I still think isn't that bad. None of the trance remix's got played here that much outside shows like Jules' Radio One show, essential mixes etc... Though I did hear the beginning of the Riva remix as the background music for the BBC1 weekend television schedule, but it stopped before any vocals came in. You know the type "This weekend on BBC1, and there's trouble for Beppe in Eastenders at 8 'o' clock....at eight thirty another chance to see our award winning documentary about the surprisingly varied eating habits of woodlice...and then at nine forty-five it's time to check if you're a winner when Dale Winton hosts the National Lottery Live TV show. Finally at ten it's sit down and enjoy this weekends blockbuster movie; Free Willy 2. Closed by the News at 11:30, that's Saturday night on BBC1. Staying in, it's the new going out."
Sorry went off on a bit of a tangent there. |

| i hope rapture doesnt go main stream in america even though it seems like it is already, because it would be another great track going to waste.. |
