Congrats to Taylor Swift...5 AMA's!!!

Big congratulations to Taylor Swift who took home FIVE American Music Awards during last nights' ceremonies at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles...including the big one: ARTIST OF THE YEAR! The other big winner of the night was (oddly enough) Michael Jackson, who scored 4 AMA's including Favorite Pop/Rock Artist. This brings Michael's career total AMA's to 25.

Performance-wise, the show was pretty solid with live music from the Black Eyed Peas, Shakira and (a suprisingly normal looking) Lady GaGa.







There were also a couple of "memorable" performances from Adam Lambert & Jennifer Lopez...although some might say they were "memorable" for all the wrong reasons

Lest We Forget...

Just a reminder...today is "Remembrance Day" in Canada and "Veterans Day" in the United States. Please, take a moment to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can continue to enjoy the freedoms and rights we have today.

Also, take some time to think of the soldiers (and the families of those soldiers) who are currently serving on missions around the world.

Lest we forget...

HELLO...ESTONIA?!?!?

There are a couple of really cool things about running an Internet Radio Station. One of them is being able to tell at any given time exactly how many people are listening (and there are A LOT of you!). The other is being able to see WHERE you all are listening to NOW2K.

I decided to check out the "Geo Stats" that Live365.com provides to see what parts of the world I'm reaching...and the Top 3 Countries listening to NOW2K are:

1) Canada
2) United States
3) Estonia

Estonia? Seriously? Cool.

Here's the Estonian flag:

And here's where they are in the world:

And wherever you're listening, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
