Hey Radio... "For What It's Worth" Is Worth Playing!

A clear sign that the 2nd single from the Stevie Nicks album 'In Your Dreams' has been issued to radio is the 4 ebay auctions currently running selling the 2 track promo discs.  These promo only discs are issued to radio stations and DJ's for consideration on their playlists... 'For What It's Worth' hopefully will start receiving some airplay across the USA. The 4 listings on ebay all include the album cut at 4:31 and an edit at 4:03, which shaves off 28 seconds from the album version. I'm curious as to what they shaved off. Possibly sacrificed is a large chunk of the intro where up to the point of the bell ringing is about 18 seconds.

I really hope radio gives this great track a chance!... It's right up there along the lines of Landslide as far as I'm concerned...A timeless piece of music.

GLEE Season 2 Vol 2 DVD Release includes Stevie Nicks Featurette "Stevie Nicks Goes Glee"

The 2011 official Glee tour ended a couple of weeks ago, and with The Glee Project underwhelming, what’s a Gleek to do? With only 5 of 22 episodes from Season 2 available online, it seems like your best option is to wait for the Glee Season 2 DVD and Blu-ray release, which will street on September 13th.

I know it’s a while to wait, but those who are patient are likely to be happy with all of the extras coming with the Fox Home Entertainment set. Several featurettes will come with the episodes, including “Getting Waxed With Jane Lynch,” “Stevie Nicks Goes Glee,” “Shooting Glee in New York City,” two segments about Brittany, and a portrayal of the Glee experience at Comic Con 2010. Other extras will include “The Making of The Rocky Horror Glee Show,” “Santana’s Slams,” “Sue’s Quips,” an exclusive bonus song, a set-building extra, and the Glee Music Jukebox. Though it looks like Fox put a lot of attention into its special features, most of these are a rehashing of Glee: Season 2, Volume 1.

BBC Radio Kent - Roger Day Interviews Stevie Nicks

Earlier today (or this evening if you are in the UK), Roger Day interviewed Stevie Nicks "His favourite Rock Lady" on his BBC Radio Kent program... The show is now available to re-listen to HERE. The interview starts at about 38:27 with "Secret Love" played first.

The interview was obviously taped when she was at the BBC in the UK during the month of June doing a string of interviews and TV appearances - and is just airing now.  The BBC just keeps on giving and giving!... They've really supported this release with all these interviews and continuous play of the single and multiple tracks from the album... Well done BBC!

"It's a very special programme for Roger Day as he chats to somebody he has always wanted to interview. Stevie Nicks joins us to talk about recording her new album with David A. Stewart plus gives an insight into life in Fleetwood Mac. "
