In Los Angeles, Groove Radio 103.1 (a dance music station) has played
"Protection" and "Be Thankful" fairly often, though by then they were both
sort of old singles. A college station, KCRW (home of Jason Bentley, Bruno
Guez, et al) played singles and cuts from Massive Attack when their albums
just came out, and I can only guess they're doing "Mezzanine" cuts as well...
And since more and more traditional "atlernative rock" stations nationwide,
even worldwide, are dumping grunge for electronica-type acts, I'm sure
Massive Attack will get rather Massive airplay in the months to come....
I also remember while going to the Philippines last year, one of the TV
commercials there used a version of
"Spying Glass" to advertise a brand of beer (Blue Ice Beer). It was kind of
a trip to hear that.

your opinions are just as wrong as mine.
