Now that word has gotten about how horrible Trevor is, they won't give him permission!!!! How the hell could Anna Vissi and Plummet allow Trevor to rape their songs like that? Thankfully Energy was smart and didn't even play the Plummet song in Trevor's mix.

Wait..what happened to "Call Me" on Energy? :o Due to all the negative feedback about Trevor Simpson and Dimitris Mykonos' remix, they decided to can the song. As much as I love Anna, I could not stand this mix!!! WTG was Chris thinking? He knows way better than that! He is a good programmer. This was a bad decision on his part. And what's up with Trevor? His choice of music is not the best. That "Hola Hola Hola" track that came earlier this week was a living nightmare! I could not believe that they even played it. Then again, Trevor, as the music director/mixshow coordinator chooses the music. Wait, that stuff he chooses isn't music. I don't know what it is, but it is not music!!!!!His mixshow today was not bad. He played a couple good new tracks.

They allegedly didn't do the First Spin on Friday.
Defender: Rob Thomas - Lonely No More [Jason Nevins Radio Mix]
Challenger: Ethan Featuring Cheryl Jay - In My Heart
The Winner: Rob Thomas - Lonely No More
*for some reason, Matt mentioned that this was the fourth night in a row that Rob Thomas had won. It was strange.*

I have noticed the replay of phone recordings from previous nights during the First Spin segment. And it appears that very few calls are taken. And if the calls are being used for choosing the winner, I wonder how often that actually is occurring.
Yesterday, Kylie Minogue's "Giving You Up" beat out Jenna Drey's "Killin' Me". The percentages that Matt announced seem made up. Seriously, how many calls could they have taken?
And on a side note, it seems like the opinions on the songs were influenced and manipulated. I called in to vote for the Jenna Drey song. Matt actually asked me what was wrong with me. I said nothing was wrong. I just liked the Jenna song more. Then he's like, "Do you hate Kylie?" I said, "I love her!" And I was like, "I'm going with the Jenna one, whether or not the label wants you to play Kylie's song more. Thank you, good night." I hung up. And I believe some of the call may have aired, but I didn't listen after the call was made.
Truth is stranger than fiction.

I received my latest listener advisory board survey this week. Jonathan Peters' "All This Time" and Aubrey's "If You Don't Know Me By Now" were both tested, so if they receive good scores, watch for them to return from the dead next week. The only "new" song tested was the Killers' "Mr. Brightside," and the version tested was listed as a bootleg mix. If they add MB, maybe they'll finally take "Somebody Told Me" out of heavy rotation. That and Kelly Clarkson have definitely worn out their welcome. David Morales and Stonebridge are reaching their saturation limit as well. The only song currently in heavy rotation that wasn't released over 6 months ago is Kelly Osbourne's "One Word."

Also, found this online - these are meeting minutes from the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. I believe the bottom line is that Energy has moved one step closer to moving their transmitter to Sutro Tower.
050380 [Public Hearing - Appeal of Categorical Exemption for No.1 La Avanzada Street (aka 250 Palo Alto Avenue)] Hearing of persons interested in or objecting to the decision of the Planning Department dated February 10, 2005, Case No. 2005.0021E, exempting from environmental review the proposed installation of a new low-power FM antenna for KNGY FM-92.7, four satellite receive-only dishes for KPIX TV-5 and an emergency generator for KBHK TV-44. The project is located at No.1 La Avanzada Street (aka 250 Palo Alto Avenue), on Mount Sutro and is zoned RH-1(D). The individual components are described below.
Low-Power FM Antenna: KNGY is an existing radio station that now broadcasts from the top of a residential building at 1101 Green Street on Russian Hill. The proposed project would relocate KNGY from its current location by allowing the installation of a new low-power FM antenna on Sutro Tower. KNGY currently operates at 3,600 watts of effective radiated power. The new antenna will operate at 510 watts of effective radiated power. The antenna will be approximately 15 feet high by 5 feet wide by 2 feet deep, and will be mounted on the north leg of Sutro Tower at Level 3, approximately 380 feet above ground using an existing set of brackets installed to support a previously approved antenna. No alteration to the existing equipment building at the base of Sutro Tower would be required. (Appellants: Siu Ling Chen for Midtown Terrace Homeowner's Association, Liaison to Sutro Tower and Doris Linnenbach for Twin Peaks Improvement Association, Liaison to Sutro Tower.) (Filed February 28, 2005; companion measure to Files 050381, 050382, 050383; District 7.)

Also wanted to mention that SF's ratings came out this week, and Energy actually fell. I was a little surprised by this, as it appears there was no effect from their fairly visual advertising campaign of the past few months. On the other hand, I feel the quality of the music played has gone downhill recently, so perhaps that's had a reverse effect.
At any rate, that magical 1.0 share looks rather elusive now. I'm not sure how long Energy can stay in business if their ratings remain in The Cellar (where they like to hold promotional gigs, but not where they want their ratings to be).

Botoxic, have you noticed that they have been playing "We Belong Together (Rauhofer Mix)" out of the First Spin segment? Did they officially add it because I have heard it 3 times on the radio yesterday.

I wouldn't call WBT an official add yet, although it's only a matter of time at this point.
According to Mediabase, Energy gave Mariah 3 spins in the last two days - two on Thursday and one yesterday. One of the ones on Thursday was the First Spin spin, and I heard Matt play it last night at the time First Spin would normally have aired. It's obvious he really likes the song.
Mariah's first shot at an official add will come in the middle of this week - probably on Wednesday. Given the seemingly strong listener response and Chris Shebel's lack of love for Mariah, it will be interesting to see if the song makes it on its first try.

I'm surprised the spins were not noted on Mediabase. Strange. Anyways, if the people continue to respond positively towards the track, it will get the official add. But I have a strong feeling that it will get the official add only to be pulled a short time later as many of the other songs have gone MIA.

Energy gave WBT 2 spins each Saturday and Sunday, so they practically have it in rotation already. Nevertheless, Matt said it would be back on First Spin tomorrow night. I won't be able to catch it tomorrow - could somebody note the artist and title of Mariah's latest victim for me? ;)

I'll be listening anyway so I can get a higher quality rip of the song. I have boosted the signal of the station in my home by adding a wire hanger to the Terk antenna so the distortion is totally gone.

Mediabase now lists Trevor Simpson as Energy's Music Director. Chris Shebel had previously been listed.
I think Trevor really helped break certain songs like Gadjo and Intenso Project - to some extent even on a national level - but I am also worried because he doesn't seem to appreciate the diva anthems nearly as much as I do. He does not seem receptive to my requests for Jenna Drey, Mynt's "Stay," or Suzanne Smith - melodic pop/dance songs that I feel would make Energy sound more accessible to the average listener.
And I hope this doesn't give him free reign to commit heinous crimes, as demonstrated by his first helpless victim, Anna Vissi (may she rest in peace).

His mix of the Plummet track has started getting more airtime during the mixes. It has sorta grown on me. Not enough for me to go out and buy it or anything like that, but if I heard it in a club, it could be okay. The instrumentals of his mixes are not bad. It's the use of vocals that is the problem.
