Blog Cheating and GRAMMY Rundown

I wrote something for XM's GRAMMY Blog. I'd love for you to go check it out. I'm counting on y'all to not make mine one of the lame blogs without comments.

They do have comment moderation enabled, so it takes a while for comments to show up. Thanks to those who have already commented - keep 'em coming! Corporate is excited about all the response.

Now - a few GRAMMY Programming Notes.

Cool blog! And thanks for the show times--AND that it'll be on online. :D Now I can listen from work!! Woohoo!!!

It's amazing that 98 awards are given out before the show even begins. :o

I'm pretty sure I couldn't sit thru 98 awards, egads. Although if I was nominated I might behave. Hope they have a program!

Lookin' forward to the broadcast, cool stuff.

That's a boatload of awards. I assume there will be no performances and it will just be an announcement of the award, the nominees and the winner.

I missed the first airing of The Soul of Country with Marty...will have to catch one of the re-airings.

Thanks for the heads up!

The show was GREAT Paula! Do try to catch it!

I second that - Soul of Country was incredibly cool... I was able to catch most of it on my drive to the gym (don't ask how far that is). :)

I'm hoping to catch it again. The Highway 16 celebration was also very cool, J. "Love" the way it concludes. :) Kudos on a great show.

We attended "The Soul of Country" and it was a great show! Looking forward to spreading the word about all the XM GRAMMY coverage this weekend!

Caught the Grammy show on 16 by accident & loved the last song played.
Lovin' all your Grammy coverage too!
I even bought a home kit for my SkyFi2 today so I can listen to the show on 200 at home, instead of sitting out in my car all day! Thanks!

LOL @ Marissa. :) Welcome, btw.

Caught both shows today, J! AND heard that awful version of Crazy again. :P

Producer J. said...

That ROCKS Marissa! You need to post that on the XM blog so the folks at corporate see it. ;-)

Good to have you here - and as part of the XM family!
