https://petrolbastard.bandcamp.com/music https://www.templeofbleh.com/ This episode we're back to off-piste, non-project specific conversations. This time with me good ol' mates Petrol Bastard. I've known these two for nearly 20 years, so it was good to finally have a proper catchup.

https://www.templeofbleh.com/ https://www.forthewin.media/ https://atomsplitterpr.com/ It's a Roadrunner PR reunion... of sorts... as mentioned at the start, Jamie and Amy were like ships in the night at Roadrunner. But that doesn't stop them regailing their awesome experiences at the label.

Recorded June 2021. Jonny was very generous with his time, and we managed to squeeze in this chat about his time working the relationship between Megaforce and Roadrunner.

https://linktr.ee/TempleOfBleh Austin gives us the view from the 21st Century sales perspective of Roadrunner - with a smashing story about Slipknot's 'All Hope is Gone' and it's fight for the #1 spot.

https://linktr.ee/TempleOfBleh https://www.ueginc.com/ Dave Loncao joined Roadrunner in 1998 to help lead the label's radio promotion arm into bolder territories. As you're about to hear - he delivered in spades. For procedural propriety - I claim that 'How You Remind Me' is the most played record of a certain decade (or all time). I'm only partially right; Source - http://www.mtv.com/news/1627833/eminem-is-the-best-selling-artist-of-the-decade/ "According to Nielsen — which began keeping track of digital sales in July 2003 — Flo Rida's "Low" was the decade's top-selling digital song, having been downloaded more than 5.2 million times. It bested the likes of Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" (nearly 4.7 million downloads), Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" (4.6 million) and the Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow" (4.3 million). And there was none of that funny downloading stuff when it came to the decade's most-played radio songs (generational divide, anyone?) a list topped by Nickelback's "How You Remind Me" — which was spun more than 1.2 million times since being released in 2001"
