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!!!

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 Buy This I Will Slap You. Seriously.

I was going to try to make a joke about this. But seriously, why bother.

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.

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.
