Here's a short one to offset my previous post that went a little long. I was browsing around the Radio Free Texas forums, and the website administrator had posted a list of the top one hundred song requests of 2008. Risky Game, our first single from the same titled album, was number thirty seven of the most requested songs. Not too shabby. Here is the list in its entirety from the forum post. Give the bands a listen and I'm sure you'll find some satisfying surprises.
We have tallied all of your requests and here are the most requested songs of 2008. Thanks to artists and fans for making RFT the number one site for Texas music on the web!

Hit Man
I have to admit I have no idea who some of the bands are on the top of the list, but they obviously have a good following or a lot of time on their hands requesting their own song.
Here's an old Youtube video of our song Risky Game at our favorite venue The Hog Pit back before I joined the band. If you're wondering when I'll be on some recording with the band, Cody is currently sifting through producers for our next album that we will hopefully be recording this summer.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to a recording with your contribution to the band. Bring it on! Anyway--
