Way to go Kerri! Make friends with the DJ, get him to be putty in your hands, and then he'll play Your Vegas for you when ever you want!

(I'm sitting here quietly cursing my Honda. It came with XM in it, not Sirius.)

But hey, it's not stopping me from requesting it on both Sirius and XM. :D

Mistie- I believe they have just merged both XM and Sirius! So...hopefully just a matter of time now before you can hear the Sirius stations, too :yahoo: !!!

I hope so! I keep checking the XM website, but there's no info about the availablitiy of combined stations yet. Until then, maybe I'll just make friends who have Sirius drive me everywhere! :blush2:

I like the dj Madison on Alt Nation, she also dj's on First Wave. Anyways, she's gonna be returning from vacation and anyone who knows her or even if you don't, maybe include a message to her in your request. I've done that already when I've written my requests, just saying I think she's great, or that she makes my drive time easier cause she cracks me up (and she really does). She's funny, cynical and self-deprecating but lovable, very witty. Toss her some kudos maybe. Her taste totally falls in line with YV. :ok:

I heard about that too.
I think it was a couple of months ago because I remember learning about it in Economics and I haven't been to school for a while.

just drafted this email to send out to my peeps and want to encourage everyone to do the same. this is a great one to send to work emails because don't we all love doing things other than our work at work to pass the time. You may not get people to do it at home but you will absolutely get people to do it at work! :D

hey guys,

you've heard me talk a lot about the band Your Vegas, and I hope you've had the chance to listen to their album on www.thesixtyone.com or their myspace page. They're excellent.

Now Your Vegas has been added to the playlist on Sirius radio on Alt Nation! (channel 21). This is an exciting step for them, and will hopefully bring them one step closer to becoming a household name. They are already being played and we want them to stay in heavy rotation. There are many bands that are now huge that I heard FIRST on alt nation!

If you have one minute, because that's all it takes, please consider helping this nice and deserving band by requesting their song "In My Head" at http://www.sirius.com/altnation . Click on "request a song" and fill in the info, and you're all done. You will receive a confirmation email but nothing further.

Please do this just once, it's so painless. If you do it at least once a day, I'll love you forever and give you a pony. if you're willing to take it one step further, please forward this to a few music-loving friends. Thank you so much!

hugs, Julie

did anyone try sending out the email like I posted above to your friends? I got lots of pozzie responses from my friends, so please try it!

Today was yet ANOTHER day that I did NOT hear Your Vegas on Sirius. :annoyed: Not ok, especially considering I'm hearing the same songs every day.

Soooo... dudes.


We need to step it up, and the guys think so too. It's even obvious from their latest blog. YV can be too nice. Read between the lines, they're nicely telling their fans they're not requesting enough. God bless em for being polite, but it's time to get down and hardcore SERIOUS about SIRIUS.

So who's with me?

First off, let's each make sure we're doing the requests regularly.

Next, let's come up with as many ways possible that we can get friends requesting, and post those ideas here. I wanna see what you're doing to get people to request, and so does YV. :wink: Wink wink nudge nudge. Come on come on. Great minds can work together to accomplish great things.

Next, let's use our social networking like myspace and facebook to get the request word out there. Send out bulletins, and share the link asking them to request, and post a youtube vid of In My Head there while you're at it.

Let's use youtube... I made a DUMBASS video over the weekend, and it is SOOOOO bad that I wasn't gonna post it, but now, I might if I can work up the courage. It's just a stupid vid telling people to request YV on youtube. I don't know what possessed me to make it, blame YV love. I'll rewatch and if it's too horrendo, I'll redo.

Let's get as many coworkers on board as well, email them and send them the link and ask them to keep it minimized all day on their computer. Buy them a snack from the company vending machine or um I dunno tell them they look like they've lost weight, something.

Use your creativity to come up with really great ways to get peeps posting, and most importantly, YOU KEEP REQUESTING. 'Cause you know who loves Your Vegas the very very most? besides five very sweet mums in the UK? It's YOU, baby. It's YOU! :friends: If you don't do it, who will?

:cheer:

:cheer:

:flex:

:flex:

GET TO POSTING YOUR IDEAS, YOUR CHEERS, YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS about getting YV on Sirius radio Do it to it! We wanna hear them here!

this is a HUGE OPPORTUNITY before us right now. Being on Sirius and getting airplay is a HUGE FUCKING DEAL. If we miss this opportunity for YV, we're making a huge mistake. this is a really busy time for everyone but let's do every little thing we can, it all adds up to something huge. we can't look back at this and say "oh remember when they were on sirius's playlist? what ever happened?" ohhh that would be awful. :cry:

I've been requesting at least 4 times a day. I've also been using the e-cards on fancorps to let all my friends know to request as well.

I've also emailed Demos (the morning DJ's that's been emailing me) to mention the upcoming shows on the air.

Let's also comment like MAD on Your Vegas's myspace encouraging people to request request REQUEST! Come on, you know you read people's comments, just to see what they say. Some of these people are like "d'oh, I didn;t know you were playing across the street from me". Seriously. :blink: So if they don't know YV's tour sched, then they don't know to request YV on Sirius. Let's make it immmmmmpossible for them to forget. Whaddya think?

Show me some amazing outstanding ideas and effort here and out there on myspace, and the signed Mal drumsticks I've had sitting around waiting for a rainy day as a contest prize may show up in your mailbox, darling. Two sets, I've got two sets to give away. To you. :wink: Win 'em. :naughty: :mal2:

if there is a problem now that i dont need to go to work anymore, and i feel lonely home i can help to. so is mistie as problem i'm there to back up!

kiss karen xx

hey Karen, I'm gonna jump in and toss an idea to you, and if you don't want to, it's no problem.

Since you're a graphic artist, how about making us some cool graphics we can post on our web pages, saying: Request 'In My Head' by Your Vegas at www.sirius.com/altnation

willing to do it? that'd be sooooooo cool! you are so talented, and since you're out of work right now (I'm so sorry :( ), maybe you'll enjoy doing it? I know we'd enjoy having and using whatever you're willing to make? THANK YOU!!!!! :hug: :friends:

banners, any size, any shape, any colors, you have great taste. Please? :D

It's not stealing, I borrowed Robin's idea when I saw the great banner she had made, so I made one too. YV TEAMWORK ROOOOOOCKS!!!!!!

Every little bit helps!

In case you haven't caught on, the band has asked that we (here at the forum) really get creative and energized and get those requests made by as many peeps as we can, so we need everyone involved! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: Do all you can! :cool: :cool: :cool: Thanks everybody!

Oh and Karen is gonna design some cool 'request YV on sirius banners', and anyone else who wants to can design them too. Let's post them here, and then we can send them in myspace bulletins, add them to our network profiles, siggies, etc. If you post at a forum for ANOTHER band, pleeeease consider using one as your siggie there. :naughty:

I'm trying Julie, I just posted a comment on the YV MS page and did a few other things but I officially just whored/pimped myself for YV. I posted the below comment on one of my MS friend's page's after he wrote me and told me not to cry (put something in the mood section of my page telling people to vote and said "c'mon you don't want to make me cry?" So below is what I wrote...I'm officially at the I'll do almost anything to promote YV stage I guess :wink:


Sep 3 2008 8:56 AM

Well thx but seriously just vote for Your Vegas at Sirius radio and I won't cry I swear :) Because I just love Your Vegas and want them played on Sirius. So if you really think I'm cute & don't want me to cry then get anyone you know to vote for Your Vegas on Sirius or go to their shows.
Plus if you help me spread the word I'll totally buy you a beer one day, don't believe me, well it could happen bcuz I have relatives near you! I know I'm totally pimping myself out for Your Vegas but love these guys they're truly the nicest guys I've ever met! -Liza


I'll probably leave comments on other people's pages too...the non-hostile ones that is lol But trust me I will keep doing everything I can because I didn't study PR and promotions for nothing!! :D
