RIP James Brown

James Brown, the singer, songwriter, bandleader and dancer who indelibly transformed 20th-century music, died early Christmas morning in Atlanta. He was 73. Only Elvis Presley had more records make the music charts than Mr. Brown . Ninety-four of Mr. Brown's recordings reached the Top 100, and he had more Top 20 singles than any other recording artist.

After an extremely poor voter turnout, the most recent poll is a tie!
After waiting an extra week for more votes, it seems that half of you shop on line, the other half at the mall. A new poll is posted, so vote or Santa will put you on the naughty list!!

Grammy Nominations

This years Grammy nominations are for less crappy then they have been in the past few years. Although, one nomination for Justin Timberlake is one too many, he did somehow manage to get 4 nominations.

The most nominations went to Mary J Blidge, with eight nominations in total. Second highest number of nominations (six) went to... The Red Hot Chili Peppers, TrahyPantz's favorite band (would I ever steer you wrong?) for their double disc album Stadium Arcadium. John Mayer received 5 nominations for his newset and most blues influenced album, Continuum. James Blunt got 5 nominations for his way overplayed song You're Beautiful and the album it came off of. How many people did his girlfriend, Petra Nemcova, have to sleep with to get him these undeserving nominations??

Unfortunately, the Black Eyed Peas got one nomination because someone thought My Humps wasn't the worst song in the world. This person should be hung by thier toes and made to listen to Fergalicious over and over and over again.

On the flipside of that, much more deserving artists, with real talent, received nods, like... Tom Petty, The Arctic Monkeys, Death Cab For Cutie, John Legend, Keane, Coldplay, David Gilmour, Gnarls Barkley and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, just to name a few. (By the way, these artists have all been featured on the sidebar at one time or another over the past year!)

The 49th Grammy Awards will air live on CBS from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Feb. 11.

Cowboys-Giants game is highest rated since 1997

Last Sunday's highly anticipated battle for first place in the NFC East between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys delivered first-place ratings for Fox. The game was the highest-rated regular-season NFL game in nearly a decade. The game, which aired just after 4 p.m., scored 27.6 million total viewers and a 17.8 household rating and 32 share, according to numbers from Nielsen Media Research. It was the highest-rated game since 1997's Dec. 15 Monday night battle between the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos, which aired on ABC. The game was likely given a shot in the arm from the "Bowl Championship Series Selection Show," which followed immediately after and which announced which schools would be participating in the controversial collegiate championship. That show averaged an 8.4/13 and 13.3 million viewers. Season to date, Fox’s national game average has now jumped ahead of "Grey's Anatomy" as the top-rated show on TV. It’s averaging a 14.3/27, up from last year’s 13.1/24.

So, more people than ever saw the Giants get beat down for the 5th time in a row. Awesome. Can Neilsen create a formula to see how many pissed of Giants fans there are after each Sunday??

No Bar B-Que For You!

The Dinosaur Bar-B-Que on Clinton Street will be closed until Monday as a precaution after the health department received reports that as many as 270 people got sick after eating there last weekend.
