Jaded and Bored	He has had the same experience Gotye had. I was surprised when I read that commercial radio in Australia ignored the single. A lot of radio producers are zombies. They cannot think for themselves at all. Ah well into oblivion they shall plunge.

It has created an audience that thinks every pop performance they see is to be judged as if it is a competition, and yet most cant tell the difference between singing in tune or stepping on a cat unless Gary Barlow tells them what to think. The show is great fun, but it does give the impression that being an ordinary busy performer is somehow tragic. Radio producers/presenters have not always been so restricted with what they can play,and I dont think there is any need for it to be so heavily controlled. I think you give a better performance if you are involved in the choice of records and responding to what the listeners want.

JK2006	Actually Alex deeply depressed by virtually total lack of support. Three top 30 singles; annual sales of over 400,000 yet nothing from radio.
Jaded and Bored	You don't need airplay all the time and you will always get some airplay. COncentrate on doing your thing building up your fans organically and it will come. Alex Day and even Gotye are fine examples of this in action.
