New Radio Edits

   Why is it so hard to find new radio edits?  I have been trying to find Foster The People's "Best Friend" for hours now.  Ebay does not even have a copy of the CD single.  I subscribe to Promo Only so that's the only way I get newer tracks but since they don't have this track I can't get it.  Any suggestions?

	There is a trade-only download site called newmusicserver.com. You need to be "in the biz" in order to get an account though, not sure what credentials they require.

	There are also music subscription services for radio stations such as TM Century (Or whatever they're calling themselves now) Again, you likely have to be in the biz, or even be a mobile DJ with BMI, ASCAP licenses. Or, you could befriend someone at a local radio station that subscribes to those services.

	Years ago it was as simple as looking in a magazine or going to a CD show and picking them up yourself. Now I have to jump through hoops. The fun is gone.

	For almost 10 years, I've subscribed to TM Studios Prime Cuts (available to mobile DJs.) Prior to that, I susbcribed to Top Hits USA. I much prefer TM over Top Hits as Top Hits always faded the tracks early (songs with fades.)
