Commercial Free Mondays? Okay, But...

Seems the latest trend for terrestrial radio is "Commercial Free Mondays". A ton of stations in Canada and the U.S. have done it including:

- 92.3 NOW FM in New York City

- 94.7 Fresh FM in Washington, DC

- KiSS 92.5 FM in Toronto, ON

- Fresh 105.9 FM in Chicago, IL

- and 91.7 The Bounce in Edmonton, AB

That's all well and good, but here's the only problem: when Monday ends, it's BACK to the COMMERCIALS!!!

That's the beauty of listening to NOW2K...ALL of the HITS and NONE of the COMMERCIALS!!! And don't forget...you can get NOW2K 2GO on your iPhone or Blackberry!!!

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





Jeff @ NOW2K

And The Award Goes To...

It's a big night in the world of music tonight...The 2009 American Music Awards are TONIGHT!!! Be sure to catch performances from The Black Eyed Peas, Kelly Clarkson, Eminem, Rihanna, Shakira and Jay-Z & Alicia Keys!

Check back on the blog tomorrow for a list of winners plus photos & videos from the big show!

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...
