Wow...what a GREAT week for NEW HIT MUSIC!!! Only a few new tracks this week, but they're FRIGGING HUGE ONES!!!

• Britney Spears - Hold It Against Me
• P!nk - F**kin' Perfect
• Linkin Park - Waiting For The End

There are a couple of other things I'd like to mention too:

I'd like to say a big "THANK YOU" to everyone listening to NOW2K...as of today, NOW2K is the #4 Top 40 station on the Live 365 network!!!

Also, I'm aware of some of the "issues" with the sound of the station as of late; I changed broadcasting software and the sound quality isn't quite up to my personal standards...I'm working on this & hope to have it fixed by the weekend.

And finally, don't forget to check out the debut edition of THE FRIDAY NIGHT BLENDER!!! It's FOUR SOLID HOURS of the biggest REMIXES and MASH-UP's...and it all starts at 8pm (ET)!

Thanks again for listening...and as always, feel free to email me at now2k@live.ca with any comments, questions or requests!!!

THE BRITISH ARE COMING!!! THE BRITISH ARE COMING!!!

Pip pip, cheerio...let's nip down to the pub for a pint of ale!

Sorry about that...just brushing up on my British slang in preparation for the arrival of some very cool music from the UK!!!

That's right...after spending some time over the holidays listening to some very cool radio stations broadcasting out of England (including BBC Radio One & Capital FM), I've decided to add some of the artists that are popular "across the pond" to the NOW2K playlist!

Some of the artists you'll hear on NOW2K include Cheryl Cole, JLS, McFly, Professor Green and - the man who was named "MTV's Artist To Watch for 2011 - Tinie Tempah!

Why am I doing this? 2 reasons:

1) To expose the North American listeners to something fresh & new

2) And to attract listeners to NOW2K from ALL OVER THE WORLD!!!

So, I hope you enjoy listening to some of these new artists! As always, feel free to send me an email at now2k@live.ca and let me know what you think!

Thanks!

Jeff @ NOW2K

Upgrades...COMPLETE!

Ummm...that's how it's supposed to be...right?

After a night of hard work by the NOW2K Technical Team, NOW2K is now up and running on new "automation software" (thanks to the fine folks at StationPlaylist.com).

I'm still playing around with some of the settings to make everything "perfect" but I think it's all good! If YOU happen to hear anything wrong with the station, feel free to drop me an email at now2k@live.ca and let me know what's up!

Thanks for your patience...and thanks for listening to NOW2K!!!

Jeff @ NOW2K

Technical Work This Weekend...

Just a heads-up: The highly skilled NOW2K Technical Team (shown above, hard at work) will be doing some computer upgrades & other nerd-related stuff, which might result in the "Live Stream" going down. If that happens, I'll switch the station over to "Basic Broadcast Mode" which might mean some gaps between the songs and (heaven forbid!) COMMERCIALS! (gasp!).

Trust me...it'll all be worth it though!

And don't forget about THE FRIDAY NIGHT BLENDER which kicks off NEXT Friday night!

Thanks for your patience...and thanks for continuing to listen to NOW2K!

If you - or anyone you know - actually buys this, I will track you down and slap you right in the mouth.

I'm not kidding.

Justin Bieber Kissed Selena Gomez? OMG!!1!!?

If your local 15 year old girl has been looking a little "down" today, it's likely because of the release of the above photo.

"The Biebs" was photographed canoodling with former Disney star, Selena Gomez over the New Year's holiday. There have been rumors that the 2 were an item for awhile now, but they've been denying it. I'm no expert, but I'm thinking that will be pretty hard to do now.

**UPDATE: Some sources have been saying that Gomez has been receiving DEATH THREATS via Twitter from outraged Bieber fans (yes...really).

You Think I'm Pretty Without Any Make-Up On

So this photo of Katy Perry hit the interwebs today:


Apparently, her (soon-to-be ex?) hubby, Russell Brand took the photo last week and posted it to Twitter. Rumor is that Katy was PISSED and Russell pulled the photo almost instantly, but let's face it: this is the Internet...and it took all of about 3 seconds for the photo to make it's way to all the big celeb gossip sites.

Anyone else find it ironic that the first line of Katy's hit Teenage Dream is "You think I'm pretty without any make-up on"?

Apparently, You CAN Hassle The Hoff

After attempting to watch the first episode of "The Hasselhoffs" (I lasted about 3 minutes before I wanted to stab myself in the face), this really doesn't come as shocking news.

A&E has CANCELLED "The Hasselhoffs" after only 2 episodes. Why? Apparently NO ONE CARED!!! Estimates had about 700,000 people watching the first episode and less than 500,000 people watching the second episode.

Putting The "Party" In "Party In The U.S.A."

Seems like Miley Cyrus is on track to be the next Lindsay Lohan.

Just days after her 18th birthday, video & photos have surfaced of Miley Cyrus taking hits off a bong which - Miley makes a point of mentioning - was NOT filled with marijuana. Apparently, the bong was filled with a natural herb called "salvia", which has hallucenigenic properties and is totally legal in the state of California.

The video was allegedly shot by a friend and was then transferred/stolen from that friends cameraphone and found its way to the fine folks at TMZ.

Jeff @ NOW2K

It's Like A Train Wreck...You Want To Look Away, But You CAN'T!!!

Even Keenan Cahill (that weird little dude who's become known on the internet for his "interesting" lip sync versions of popular songs) is thinking to himself, "What...the...f***...?"

I don't know who THIS guy is, but I know this much: You will NEVER be able to listen to this song again without thinking of him.

Yikes.

Jeff @ NOW2K

The New MJ & Akon Vid

I added the new single from Michael Jackson & Akon, called "Hold My Hand" into the NOW2K rotation this week. The video hit the net today...check it out:

So...what do you think?

Jeff @ NOW2K

HOLY SHITBALLS MOM!!!

I've always been a big fan of Michael Buble; not only is he a fellow Canadian, but he's an awesome guy! He's funny, friendly...and a helluva singer. But as this video clip proves, he's also a VERY classy dude.

Let me set the scene for you: Mom brings her 15 year old son to a Michael Buble concert in England & manages to score some sweet seats. She manages to convince Buble to bring her son up on stage because "he wants to be a singer". I'll let the clip tell the rest of the story:

Wow. Or, as Buble puts it so eloquently, "Holy Shitballs Mom!"

I get the feeling we'll be hearing A LOT from this kid in the future.

Jeff @ NOW2K

Dead Celebs Come Back To Life!!!

Remember last week when I told you about the celebrities who decided to "digitally die" until $1 Million was raised for children with AIDS? Well, they reached their goal...but not without difficulty.

As of Saturday, they'd only raised about $250,000 and as of 5pm yesterday (December 6) they'd only reached $500,000...so where did the rest of the cash come from?

This guy:

And who is he? He's Stewart Rahr, a New York City billionaire who made his fortune from pharmaceuticals and who is known for his Snooki-esque tan and large philanthropic donations. Rahr gave $500,000 to Keep a Child Alive on Monday night.

Thank God...now we can get back to our regularily scheduled Kim Kardashian Twitter rants & raves.

Jeff @ NOW2K

God Bless The USA...and Katy Perry

I make no secret of the fact that I'm a HUGE fan of Katy Perry...and I'm also a fan of celebs who do cool stuff for a good cause.

This is a photo from Katy Perry's appearance at "The USO Presents VH1 Divas Salute The Troops" on Friday night.

I'm no military expert, but I think Katy may have just singlehandedly won the war.

Jeff @ NOW2K

Uh Oh...Hackers Hit Celebs Computers!

There's a distinct possibilty that some rather "revealing" pictures might be hitting the internet in the next few days.

Apparently a pair of Geman computer hackers managed to raid the computers of more than 50 different pop stars, including Justin Timberlake, Lady GaGa and several others.

The pair's haul allegedly includes several unreleased songs by various artists and a photo of Ke$ha having sex - which they tried to blackmail her with (according to a report by UK newspaper "The Telegraph"). The pair, who haven't been charged with any crime yet, used Trojans to access the computers.

The pair - who bragged about their exploits in several on-line forums - came to the attention of authorities after fans warned Kelly Clarkson that unreleased songs of hers were available on the internet.

Jeff @ NOW2K

They Only Need Another $750,000...A Little Help?

Hmmm...seems like this idea might have backfired.

Earlier in the week, I told you about several celebrities (including Lady GaGa, Alicia Keys, Kim Kardashian, Ryan Seacrest, Justin Timberlake and many more) who "died" in an effort to raise money for the "Keep A Child Alive" campaign as a part of Worlds AIDS Day.

In a nutshell, they all stopped using their Twitter & Facebook accounts and said they wouldn't be back until $1 Million was raised.

Well, as of this afternoon (Saturday, December 4), according to a ticker on the BuyLife.org website, less than $250,000 had been raised.

Could it be that people are just happy to have people like Kim Kardashian off Twitter?

Whoops.

Jeff @ NOW2K

KIM KARDASHIAN IS DEAD...Kind Of

What you're looking at is Kim Kardashian's contribution to the "Keep A Child Alive" campaign for World AIDS Day, which is tomorrow (December 1st).

Basically, Kardashian - along with several other celebrities including Ryan Seacrest, Alicia Keys, Lady GaGa and Justin Timberlake - will digitially "die", signing off of their Twitter & Facebook pages until $1 Million is raised for people living with AIDS/HIV in Africa.

Justin Bieber Cut His HAIR! OMG!1!!1

Seriously?

Jeff @ NOW2K

Don't Bother Calling Or E-Mailing...I'll Be Busy

If you're thinking of trying to get in touch with me at all tonight, don't bother. Don't call me. Don't e-mail me. Don't text me. I'll be busy...watching the 2010 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

This year's show features all your favorite Victoria's Secret Angels along with performances from Katy Perry & Akon.

This has become my own personal Christmas tradition. Don't judge me. Just watch this video of the Victoria's Secrets Angels with their take on Katy Perry's hit "Firework":

Jeff @ NOW2K

It's MOVING WEEK!!!

THIS IS THE BIG WEEK!!!

NOW2K is officially making the move south from Edmonton, AB to Calgary, AB and as such, I'll be shutting down the "live" stream of NOW2K. However, I will continue to broadcast in "basic mode" meaning that you might hear some unsightly gaps between songs and even (GASP!) COMMERCIALS!!!

The new NOW2K studios should be up and running by November 30th, so I hope to back broadcasting "live" by then.

Thanks for your patience on all this!

The Worst Song In The History Of Music...EVER

I've been around the radio biz for a very VERY long time. In that time, I've been subjected to some crappy music. I mean REALLY crappy...stuff like "The Hampster Dance" by Hampton The Hampster, "Who Let The Dogs Out" by The Baha Men and "The Macarena" by Los Del Rio.

This steaming pile of crap takes the cake.

It's Angelina from "Jersey Shore" and her "hit", entitled "I'm Hot".

There's an old saying that goes, "Children should be seen and not heard". Apparently, that should apply to reality TV show stars as well.

Jeff @ NOW2K

The Most Bizarre Thing You'll See This Week

This hit the interwebs this week...and it's probably the most painful, ridiculous, bizarre thing I've seen in a very VERY long time...The Situation from "Jersey Shore" and Bristol Palin (who starred together on the latest season of "Dancing With The Stars") filmed a Safe Sex PSA for The Candies Foundation together.

Yes...you read that correctly; a single mom who had the good judgement to sleep with this guy and a guido douchebag who makes it his mission to nail as many chicks as possible every week on reality TV did a PSA about SAFE SEX.

Really? Check it out for yourself.

Where's a giant meteor when you need one?

Jeff @ NOW2K

Why I Love Canada (or "Why The F*** Do I Live Here?)

Yesterday morning, Calgary, AB (the new home of NOW2K) got hit with the first snowfall of 2010...and boy oh boy, was it ever FUN (yes...that's sarcasm dripping from your computer...ha ha!). Several hundred minor traffic accidents, a few major ones and LONG commutes to & from work for everyone here. Not to mention, we also had temps around the -20 Celcius mark...which are expected to continue right through the rest of the week.

So the next time you want to complain about the weather where you live, just look at the above picture and be thankful that's not YOU!

Maybe They're Not TOTAL Attention Whores?

Oh, who are we kidding...of course they are.

There's a story circulating that (allegedly) Jenni "JWoww" Farley has turned down an offer to pose for Playboy Magazine. According to an article in The Huffington Post, JWoww declined $400,000 to pose nude for the magazine.

There's also a rumor that Snooki & JWoww have moved in together and there's the possibilty of a spin-off of "The Jersey Shore".

Lord have mercy on us all.

Jeff @ NOW2K

Glee Never Looked So Good!

Wow. That's really all I have to say about this.

Lea Michelle (who plays Rachel), Diana Agron (who plays Quinn) and Cory Monteith (who plays Finn) on the hit show "Glee" are appearing in the November issue of GQ magazine. If you want to creep all 14 photos from the photo shoot, head over to the GQ Website.

Also, the cast of Glee is prepping for the "Rocky Horror Glee Show" episode which airs next Tuesday (October 26th) in honour of Halloween. Here's a sneak peek:

Jeff @ NOW2K

Justin Bieber...In The Clear!

Alright girls...you can breath a sigh of relief. It looks like Justin Bieber is IN THE CLEAR!

NOW2K reported yesterday (courtesy of TMZ) that Bieber was under investigation after an alleged incident that occured during a Lazer Tag game in Richmond, BC, Canada (Bieber was in Vancouver for a show).

Now, it looks like the incident never occured, or if it did it may have been started by the 12 year old boy. From TMZ:

We're told that during the game of laser tag, one kid went out of his way to target Justin repeatedly.

Sources say that Bieber became frustrated when the kid cornered him and wouldn't stop shooting and when Bieber told him, "That's enough" ... the kid responded, "What are you gonna do about it, faggot?"

We're told a shocked Bieber replied, "Excuse me?" Sources say the other kid responded, "You're a faggot" and then put his hand out toward Bieber and Bieber pushed it away as he left.

Contrary to several news reports, we're told Bieber never struck the other boy.

Law enforcement tells TMZ it was the boy's father who filed the complaint hours later ... and our source says the father was heard at the scene repeatedly telling people, "I'm a lawyer."

The police investigation is ongoing, but our sources say police already know the fault does not lie with Bieber.

A 12 year old boy claims Bieber hit him while playing the game, though he suffered no visible injuries.

A rep for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police tells TMZ the incident was reported to authorities by the boy's father. Though the rep wouldn't confirm anything about Bieber, he did say they're in the process of interviewing witnesses.

I'll do my best to keep you posted as this story unfolds.
