"Hold The Map" Premiers on "Steve Wright" on BBC Radio 2 Printer  Printable Version
September 15, 2004
This morning at approx 11:50am EST (4:50pm UK Time), the sounds of our latest song, "Hold The Map" trickled out over the airwaves in the UK, saturating every man, woman, and child with Request-A-Song-modulated radiation. Sounds healthy, doesn't it?

But why write your own news when you can plagiarize it? Here's what Miles of the Steve Wright show says about it: "Hold The Map – the Website of the Day song (15/09/04) If you were listening last Thursday you’ll have heard us talking about Request A Song a site which invites you to come up with an interesting phrase which might be a good song title, and have that song written to order by the Request a Song songwriting team. After the show, resident composers Benj and Jeremy accepted Steve's challenge to write a song based around the phrase “Hold The Map … This Time”, and they’ve even worked in references to Steve, Tim, Janey and Old Woman. You can read the lyrics online or download the whole song free-of-charge. Many thanks to Benj, Jeremy and the team at Request A Song for putting together a terrific piece of power-pop at lightning speed!"

No, thank you, Miles! -- Benj
