Episode 72 Sound Check “and the Grammy goes to…”

December 11th, 2008 by CK

It only took 70 Episodes for us to talk about a topic that we haven’t discussed since Episode #2, and that is music.

I was talking in Episode 71 about the Grammy nominations were out and I was not clear (and still am not) on how Coldplay and Metallica could be in the same category called “Rock.” I also mentioned that we would talk more about music in this episode. So we did.

In this episode we did play all of the music from the artists that are nominated in the “Best Rock Album” and the “Best Rock Song” categories.

Here are the groups that you will hear in this episode:

Category 20

      In between the 1st and 2nd category we did discuss what artists have NOT won a Grammy.

      Overall this was a great show and a chance to discuss something that everyone likes, music.  In future episodes, Sound Check will be doing more show that include new artists, up and coming artists, and also what artists have shaped our lives and what certain music means to you.

      This was a fun show to do seeing where their is some music that many people like.

      I would encourage you to burn a copy to CD and listen to us on the way in or home from work.

      Also, if you want to get all the shows that we have put out, and their are some great shows-click on the Itunes button and subscribe. I have also included many social buttons to subscribe to the show on Google Reader, share the show on Twitter, and others at the bottom of the post. That way you never miss a beat. We don’t.

      Thanks again for all the worldwide support. We are back live this Thursday the 18th at 9:35 pm EST at www.talkshoe.com/tc/45577

      Best,

      CK
