"Crash" on XM!

thatgirlwasme · #1 03-12-2009, 08:06 PM

Hi everyone! I am a new Ledgie, though I have been reading for a while. I saw the first Unleashed show in Chicago, and it was just the nudge I needed to officially join. It was an awesome night.

I just had to share that I heard Stevie's version of Crash on XM at work tonight. It was so funny because the song began and everyone thought it was Dave Matthews and then Stevie started singing. My friends got a confused look on their faces and said, "Is this Stevie Nicks?" and I said "Yep, it sure is!" Someone said "Well, I guess if anyone can try to cover Dave it would be Stevie." I was so excited to hear a new Stevie song on the radio!

Does anyone know how much airplay Crash is getting?

OMG!!! Which station was it on? We have XM at work so I will definately want to put that on!!!

It was on The Spectrum, which is channel 45, I think. They used to plan a ton of FM on The Bridge, which is channel 27, but now that channel is some weird Paul McCartney's Fireman Radio or something.

I also heard it tonite, in my grocery store (in Toronto). I couldn't believe it. As much as I love to hear Stevie on the radio, I just wish it wasn't this song. Am I the only one that doesn't dig this cover?

I've heard Crash on Sirius Satellite Radio several times since Sunday! I have Stevie as one of my stored artists in my car so I cant remember which stations though.

I was playing my XM radio and had on channel 45 The Spectrum, and i happened to fall asleep, and when i woke up at 2:30 AM, they were playing Crash by Stevie, and at the end of the song the announcer said "Stevie Nicks, doing a cover version of a song that was originally from the DMB, and that's fair enough that she does that, because so many people have covered Stevie Nicks songs in their time, everyone from Beyonce to The Tearing Down of Berlin...a great version of Crash Into Me." I'm so happy this is getting airplay because the song and Stevie really deserve it!

I too wish it were a brand new Stevie song rather than a cover, but it's very exciting to hear positive buzz about the Soundstage package. Maybe good press and fan reaction will spur Stevie to realease some new material . . .

As far as I'm concerned, it would be the same thing as if a songwriter handed Stevie a song and she recorded it...Crash is brand new to the Stevie catologue, and it's brand new to me too.

I'm just glad that Stevie is doing anything related to music these days. After all, she could have taken Grace Slicks' advice and let the younger musicians "have the stage". By not doing so, Stevie has let a whole new generation see her live. Her legend is now, and not just being read about in books, seen in videos posted on Youtube, or dusty records being rummaged through in music store bins.
