Waits for Christmas: Hello Phantom Phans!

http://waitsforchristmas.blogspot.com/2007/12/hello-phantom-phans.html

Wednesday, December 12, 2007. A massive hello to anyone dropping by on the back of Phantom FM. S coverage of our campaign - make yourselves at home! For giving the whole thing a mention and to Simon Maher for giving it his seal of approval - I figure if anywhere's going to appreciate something like this it's going to be Dublin's alternative music radio station! If you're on facebook be sure to hook up with our campaign group. Right click and save) - hope that's OK with the folks at Phantom. The song will...

Tuesday, December 11, 2007. Thanks to all the bloggers who have posted about this campaign so far - it's already starting to kick off and hopefully the momentum will continue. The important thing now is to get some support together so if you're a blogger please give us a mention on your site. If you're not a blogger maybe you can let friends of yours know about the campaign if you think it's their sort of thing - just point them in this direction or the direction of the facebook group.

Waits for Christmas: More coverage

http://waitsforchristmas.blogspot.com/2007/12/more-coverage.html

Tuesday, December 18, 2007. I'm just back in the door having appeared on Phantom FM. Today to talk about the campaign and how it's going - many thanks to Simon Maher for giving us another mention and having me in to state my case. He even played out with the song itself - probably the first time Tom Waits has been on daytime radio in Ireland in a while! I was also told by one or two people that Ian Dempsey's Breakfast Show.

Waits for Christmas: Higher and higher

http://waitsforchristmas.blogspot.com/2007/12/higher-and-higher.html

Tuesday, December 18, 2007. Christmas card." has broken into the top 20 on the Irish iTunes chart as of this morning, and that may not even include all of Monday's sales (and certainly doesn't include any from today so far). Big thanks to everyone who has bought the track so far and/or promoted it in their own way - it's clearly having an impact. The iTunes chart is the only real indicator we have to see how things are going and with 3 days or so of purchasing left I'd say it's going well. On Newstalk af...

Waits for Christmas: Waits coming up the inside at 6-1!!!

http://waitsforchristmas.blogspot.com/2007/12/waits-coming-up-inside-at-6-1.html

Tuesday, December 18, 2007. Waits coming up the inside at 6-1! I hadn't even noticed this but Tom Waits is now just 6-1 to make it to number 1 for Christmas in Ireland. That makes our campaign the third most likely to hit the top spot according to PaddyPower.com. I think it's a pretty impressive achievement by all of us to make Tom Waits anything other than a complete outsider for a time like this, and we're only inches away from being favourite! It's there as of 21:00 Wednesday. I'll have a punt on that.

Waits for Christmas: An off-beat pitch for Christmas number 1

http://waitsforchristmas.blogspot.com/2007/12/off-beat-pitch-for-christmas-number-1.html

Monday, December 10, 2007. An off-beat pitch for Christmas number 1. Even though I was never a big pop-music fan I always remember being entranced by the race for Christmas number 1 as a child. It was never about wanting one song or another to win but simply about the heightened excitement of the race that surrounded the whole exercise. None of the other 51 weeks of the chart topping year seemed to matter nearly as much as what song was number 1 for the 25th of December. For a start it's not a manufactur...

Waits for Christmas: The final push

http://waitsforchristmas.blogspot.com/2007/12/final-push.html

Thursday, December 20, 2007. We're finally here - the last day of purchasing before the big day tomorrow. As of this morning, 'Christmas card.' is 11th on the iTunes Ireland chart, climbing from nothing, to 29th to 19th to 11th in less than a week. Remember - all purchases must be in by today or they won't count for tomorrow's chart. Thanks again for your support and let's make this final push a good one! December 20, 2007 at 7:48 AM. A kip of a music venue. Fair play Adam. You fought the good fight!

Waits for Christmas: Campaign update

http://waitsforchristmas.blogspot.com/2007/12/campaign-update.html

Sunday, December 16, 2007. Last night, just as Tom Waits' main competition was being finalised on TV, I hit the airwaves. To promote the campaign to get Tom Waits to Number 1 for Christmas in Ireland. Was there too and besides Waits we discussed other alternative Christmas songs from the likes of Sufjan Stevens and The Flaming Lips. If you missed the piece you can download it here. If you've not bought already, please check this thread out. I was apathetic about this.until this evening. I was on the way ...

Waits for Christmas: Facebook group hits 100 (Already!)

http://waitsforchristmas.blogspot.com/2007/12/facebook-group-hits-100-already.html

Wednesday, December 12, 2007. Facebook group hits 100 (Already! Sure, it's not a huge number in the grand scheme of things but the Facebook group for our campaign has just passed the 100 members mark despite only being around for just over a day. We have a long way to go but it's still early days, and the facebook group is by no means representative of the amount of people supporting the campaign in general!
