Episode 175: Weird Science

This week's theme from Oingo Boingo! Something that no one seems to be talking about, but it seems that the WHOLE record industry is using it… A special piece of software called HSS – you just feed it a song (or an album) – and out pops a report to tell you if it’s a hit - or not. Would you use HSS if it potentially meant you could have a hit? PLUS! CD-Baby's Top-10 Albums from the Flava: Ethereal Space Tunes. Fame Games Mail from Kitana! Regular rotational airplay - "Bound to Crash" by Venice Maki!

REIGNING TRACK OF THE WEEK -

OLIVER PIGOTT from London, UK with “Our Generation” – Folk

THE CONTENDERS

• PAULINE ALEXANDER from Glasgow, UK with “Sunday Night” – Easy Listening
• BROKEN IRIS from Sacramento, CA USA with “The Scar” – Light Rock
• LEE B from Jerusalem, Israel with “Anything” – Light Rock/Pop
