May 30, 2012 at 6:09PM EST Reply to CommentReally interesting to see Fucking Best Song Ever on this gallery. I've been getting into Wallpaper. since a few months ago, and I have yet to hear this on the radio. I'd like a radio station that played it. Get on the case, 104.1 or 95.7 or any of you stupid Houston radio stations.

Adam Lambert's got a new single out called Never Close Our Eyes, which is my jam, and it's almost never played! There's lots of good music out there, but radio insists on playing the same crap over & over again. You ask them why & they say "it's politics." I guess that's the new word for payola...what else are we supposed to think?!?
