Both The Chain and Tea Time Theme Time on the Radlciffe and Maconie show (BBC 6music) seem like good places to start. If anyone can get any RM song played then I think they will automatically win!
I got Tom Robinson to play Avalanche (Jarvis featuring with Boyz Noise/Erol Alkan) at the end of Now Playing's Leonard Cohen special. He read out my email and made a point of saying he'd left plenty of time at the end of the show to get the whole 6 minutes and something in.
Liz Kershaw was doing an advent calendar-related feature last Christmas and got to turkey, she read out my email asking for Turkey Mambo Momma and promised to look out the session for the next week's programme, but alas this never materialised.

Maybe someone can come up with a third song for my embryonic Tea Time Theme Time:
The first song would be His 'n' Hers
Now a song by itself is just a song. But when you hear another with a strange connection, it becomes a potential TTTT. Huey Morgan played a song I didn't know one day, some kind of collaboration I think between Anthrax and Public Enemy! Called "Bring Tha Noize". It may even be well-known to people who know about these things, but was new to me. Spot the connection and add one of your own.

You're a star, Fred. I've never heard of Chickenfoot either, but that means little, they're quite noisy, aren't they? I have a soft spot for a bit of noise. Radcliffe and Maconie got quite excited the other day when Iron Maiden got on The Chain.
It has to be done, Tea Time Theme Time designed by committee.

Well then, I will be playing Sexualized next week on my show. Does this mean I already win?
Which student station is it? I guess it all depends on if we actually get any more entries ;)
Though on reflection I think if anyone gets something like A Little Soul played on a national station, that should beat Sexualised on your own show :p.
A Little Soul is on the 6 Music "classic" rotation (last played on Chris Hawkins last Friday as it happens), I think that seems to consist more or less of all the singles since around Razzamatazz, though This is Hardcore seems to have escaped their list, not sure Party Hard comes up very often either, though both do get more occasional outings when they take someone's fancy.

Smoke Radio, I believe it's online only. Fair point :p

A Little Soul was background music in Coronation Street a few years back on two episodes close together. Oddly enough, both with the character played by Boyzone's Keith Duffy in them.
Well there was some RM used as background music, Beastmaster in fact, on The Culture Show a couple of weeks back when they were previewing the RIBA architectural prize.
Well, I heard a relatively unplayed song on the radio today at the gym - Help the Aged. It was on Absolute Radio 90's which I'd never even heard of until recently and it didn't get played much when it was released so I was surprised to hear it. It was followed by "Coffee & TV" by Blur which is a plus.

There's also a lot of Oasis played too, which is alright in my books.
I am not too keen on Oasis myself but I was thinking if enough of us request something earlier by Pulp, there might be a chance of actually getting it played.
For anyone interested, here's the "podcast" of the show where I played Sexualized! Includes a pun in the show title... http://smokeradio.co.uk/show-2-this-show-is-sexualized-27102012/

Re: Pulp on TV I heard "We are the Boyz" on A League of Their Own the other week. Judging from the context (played over a montage of goal celebrations with everyone talking about how great they are) it seems who ever chose it did so for the catchy hook and doesn't actually know the lyrics...
