Going to Modern radio next week via Billboard.
I caught just the last minute of this yesterday. I wish I had a better opinion.

I lay 20-1 odds that this isn't going to Modern radio at all....and that at best it goes to maybe Hot AC. Plus.....their newest album doesn't have this song at all.....IF this is a song title at all it'll be on the 17 EP that is an acoustic EP. Pretty sure that's not going to see adds at rock radio. Below is a listing to the tracks on 2009 album "Notes and Rhymes". www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/9813926/Notes-Rhymes/Product.htmlAnother Artie epic failure in listing a song. It's tiring to do the research for him....and as I write this I found out that there will be a song called 17....... It's a Kings Of Leon cover. |

No thanks on the research, I can handle that. I only heard the last few seconds. That would great if it is Kings Of Leon. But it's heading to Modern next week.

Awww, so that's why you didn't take my friend invitation on Facebook.com. Luckily we're here to talk songs, not make friends.
17 was played by Altnation today. I did hear the whole thing, and it is the Kings Of Leon song. But without the Christmas / church bells, it just doesn't sound the same. Good try though.

Yeah, thanks for clarifying like I was lying you moron...I'm getting really tired of the sanctimonious way you word every single one of your comments. I get why you're named Artie Ziff, I'm sure that real life and online shares your same number of friends. I don't respect any of your opinions and could care less what you think of any song. Sorry mods...but I can't take this guy anymore. This will be the last post I make every responding to him but I had to say it. The offhanded way he remarks back to people and acts like he owns the place are not fair to ANY of the other posters on here. |

I just want to know who Artie works for. Radio intern, I'm guessing?

I make my living writing. About radio. So you're in the ballpark! Spike's web site has the brand new video for the song. Pretty decent! Still miss the church bells of the original though. www.spike.com/video/proclaimers-17/3112078 |

Artie, you aren't always right. In fact, you're barely ever right, from what I've seen. You're just stubborn, and you need to learn to admit that you make mistakes. But that seems impossible because there seems to be something mentally wrong with you.
Are you one of those people that gets high alone then wanders the internet?
Anywho, regarding the song. The only standouts that I really got into were Use Somebody and Manhattan. But I'll be sure to give this a second listen.

While it's easy to say someone is wrong in most things posted, it would be impossible to prove that in this case. Any statistics or chart positions that are erroneous, I'll be happy to defend or correct them. I'll be happy to admit that, but you cannot find anything in my opinion.
17 has been played at least twice everyday this week. At first quirky to me, it's actually developing into a real radio single to my ears. It will never outshine the original to me, but this is a nice sounding song.

Wow some of you guys are some of the most unpleasant people I have ever encountered. Artie is like anyone else on here in that he is here to discuss music and occasionally he may make a mistake.
But he responds like this because the rest of you crucify him and cut him down when he does screw up. I've made mistakes and gotten the same treatment.
A lot of you think you can say whatever you want because this is the Internet and you think no one is watching. But truth is, I doubt any of you have the strength to say any of these things in real life to someone, and if you do, I truly feel sorry for you. And I am guilty of this as well.
Good grief. Attack the idea, not the person.
I always wanted to hear more from the Proclaimers, just never did.

^You haven't been here long enough to witness a lot of Artie's mischief.
Artie: "The rules do not matter unless someone complains."
That never gets old, I guess I was looking for an excuse to look it up and watch it again.

Well, not that I approve of Ron's commentary, you have to realize that Artie does have a history and people are aware of that history when responding to what he says. As for you, you insulted people first, so you get no sympathy.

This isn't too bad, but it seems like an odd choice to promote this here... or much of anywhere. But they could luck out, with Kings of Leon being at the height of their popularity right now. This doesn't seem like something that'd wear well with repeated listens, though. Interesting to hear, but not so cool that it doesn't just make me want to go back and listen to the original, yaknow?
EDIT: And as to the other crap in this thread... one person does not a conversation make. I'll leave it there.

I feel proud that I was involved in two of those incidents. I also love the voice used for my posts, makes me think of Nathan Explosion. The ironic part about viewing that is that I get to wear jeans at my new job. |

That post was made when Artie was just starting to frustrate the fuck out of people, including me. Now, I've really kind of just grown used to Artie, like a retarded little brother that follows you around. Actually, I kind of think sometimes that Artie is smarter than he lets on, not that it makes him any more tolerable sometimes, but you know, what the fuck ever, y'know? |

(Wasn't this topic supposed to be renamed?)
I guess I came off a little harsh towards Artie. Keep in mind most of this is just me venting what I've seen from his postings on the forum...Kinda balled into one post.
I tend to do that. But eh, it's my opinion I guess.
People just frustrate me, eh?
