has a certain song you're after..
you'll find the complete listing, including
Wild Anthems

Wild 9
.

Hitz News:
Gee, there's enough Hitz news at the moment, isn't there?
We recently heard from the Hitz tech, Simon Butcher,
about their work on building new studios at Hitz,
including a room for DJs to mix live to air. (yeah baby!)
Now, in his next update, Simon's included PHOTOS..
are you prepared for the
horror
..?
Wild News:
I've got to see it was rather amusing to read in 3d world
(a NSW street-press music mag) all the ads selling Wild 9
having somewhat of a bidding war.. to sell it
for the lowest retail price!
Alas, Gogo.. station manager of Wild Sydney
has the final word today.. and I quote..
"So far its shipped 93,000 units.
(Yes ninety-three thousand -GM)
This was all shipped in the first batch
and no new orders have been placed yet.
It's no 'Triple M Beer Drinking songs'..
but I guess its still an OK CD ;)"
Keep reading down the page..
there's been LOTS of news this week!!

Hitz News:
HITZ FM BACK THIS THURSDAY??!!
Well, yes and no. They'll be netcasting for 5 days
from the Melbourne Music Expo.
This is going to be a monster event..
so have a look at Hitz's
press release
,
and if you can.. drop in and say hi!
By the way, here's the final word on the non-hack of Hitz,
thanks to Hitz's technician, Simon Butcher..
"Due to a a scare with our host computer,
our site was moved and any problems with our site
were the ugly results of moving the site quickly."
(That's why you didn't get any nude pictures of the DJs ;) ]
It's all fixed now.
"If the site hasn't reappeared when you go there,
just press 'shift + refresh/reload' in your browser."
Wild News:
Well, everyone knows that Wild FM 9 is a popular CD,
but here's a great 'industry' story to prove it.
(With names changed to protect the guilty)
'MUSIC CHAIN ONE' tried to put Wild 9 CDs
out on the shelves earlier than they were allowed to.
When 'MUSIC CHAIN TWO' found out,
the bosses faxed all their stores and said
"Get them on the shelves NOW!"
Five minutes later, a fax went out saying
"Put the bloody things away" (or words to that effect)
The same kind of thing happened at 'MUSIC CHAIN ONE',
except I hear that the time difference was a bit longer.
Perhaps this statistic will explain why music stores
are so enthusiastic about Wild 9..
It's the biggest Wild CD so far - they've pressed
70,000 copies
,
and it's almost shipped Platinum in its first week of sale.
I also hear that many music stores around the country
have ordered AT LEAST DOUBLE the number of Wild 9's
compared to their previous order of Wild 8's!
Coming up in the next week:
Some AWESOME Hitz news, a MEGA Wild DJ gig in Qld,
further updates on the Hitz studio de/construction..
and (fingers crossed) more giveaways.. :)))

and I'll upload it all gradually this week.
Wild News:
Of course, Wild 9 is now in the stores.
I wonder how many THOUSAND christmas trees
it will be appearing under on the 25th???
Site News:
As the 'Wild CDs' section of this site is one of the most popular,
I'm working on a newer version that will load quicker,
look better, AND have a little EXTRA function that you
might find quite useful.... you'll see!!

Hitz News:
* Has HITZ been HACKED?? *
Right now, if you go to www.hitzfm.org.au, you'll get nothing
but a jpeg logo for another site.
If you go to that site.. you get just the same logo.
Is it a hack? Is it a joke? Is it a publicity stunt?
We'll have the news here as soon as possible!
Wild News:
According to Anthony Gherghetta (manager-Wild Syd)
Wild FM Volume 8 has just passed the 100,000 copy mark
in Australia. Well done!
And of course, tomorrow (Monday 6/12) is when Wild 9
hits the music stores. See the tracklisting
here
.
Site News:
After reviewing the site, I've been busy optimising the graphics,
so everything loads twice as fast.
The new 'turboloading' graphics will be up soon.
Finally, a big happy birthday to Bren & Roz. (My brother & sister)
