Kool FM Tests “Here On”

For those of you who don’t know already KOOL FM in Kitchener/Waterloo tested my new single “Here On” from Todd’s Second Record. For this, they play the song on a random day within a period of time, people call in that day to vote Kool or not Kool, if there are more votes Not Kool nothing happens, but if the song is voted more Kool, then the song becomes part of the rotation. They can’t tell you what day your song will be tested, for a good reason, which prevents one from being able to cheat by rallying an unfair result. And thus as i was notified on the 26th, “Here On” was tested on September 25th. I phoned as soon as i found that out to get the results from Kool FM, and the song was voted 49% Kool and 51% Not Kool, which is nicely not a bad percentage to lose by. All things create these results; the people listening at any given time, the time of day, ect. I’m sorry that the people who voted Not Kool didn’t like the song. And my heartfelt gratitude goes out to those who enjoyed the song and spoke out. Sadly the results came out to the negative, it’s not the end of the world and certainly not my only opportunity right now. So there, rest peacefully kind spectators.
