Sopranos/Beatles has apparently been mentioned on radio stations

Tomorrow marks four weeks since I posted my first clip on youtube, three weeks since the second, and two weeks since the third.

The results as of this morning are interesting.

Posting Number One: “Son of Sam Peckinpah” (aka Elliott Smith meets The Wild Bunch)
428 views.
2 ratings – both 5/5 stars.
1 viewer marked it as his/her “favorite” clip
5 comments – two people seem to like it. One massive Elliott Smith fan seems perplexed by it and quoted back Elliott’s own words about what the song meant. And one Peckinpah fan hated it, calling it “lame and an insult to Peckinpah.”

There are five links to it that have generated 21 of the 428 views…

The number of hits on the Sopranos/Beatles piece seem to have grown exponentially since yesterday when it got its four on-air & online mentions. It will be interesting to see if it grows any further.
