 *Originally released June 8th 2014* From Italy, Steve and Doug peruse the career of one-hit wonder Eiffel 65. Along the way the guys chat about Wikipedia as a source, landmark albums of the 90's, and the curious influence of radio on listener perception. Who's behind the wheel regarding songs becoming hits, listeners or advertisers? Music featured this week: Blue - Europop I DJ With The Fire - Contact! Dub In Life - Europop 
2:47 - I'm so sorry. 4:33 - Thankfully, in the time since this was recorded, Eiffel 65 revamped their website and wrote up a far better Bio page. 15:09 - Steve looked it up, and was still unable to find any sponsorship connection between Eiffel 65 and Sony. Oh well. 27:47 - It's kind of like the Payola Scandal. But instead of radio DJ's being covertly paid under the table to influence the pop music scene, now we just have labels and advertisers overtly having complete say in the playlists. Doug's Recommendations: Crazy - Contact! Journey - Contact! Europop - Europop Now Is Forever - Europop The Edge - Europop Steve's Recommendations: Dub In Life - Europop Losing You - Contact!
