  • 9:30 PM: AikoujOi I don’t really listen to Tim McGraw’s music
  • 9:31 PM: bradyvercher Definitely, CM. That Lori McKenna album he produced sounds just like his stuff.
  • 9:31 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Annie, I see that Ethan Johns produced the latest Howard Elliott Payne record…he also produces Ray LaMontagne.
  • 9:31 PM: Leeann Steve from Boston keeps trying to get me into McKenna, but I just can’t.
  • 9:32 PM: Annie Seriously?
  • 9:32 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) I like Lori McKenna but I can’t listen to it nonstop…
  • 9:32 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) yes, seriously.
  • 9:33 PM: Annie Hmm. I’m very curious to see what you think Matt.
  • 9:33 PM: CountryCa This is just speculation, but I think Steve from Boston might like Patty Loveless a little bit.
  • 9:33 PM: AikoujOi what is the next award they’re giving out tonight?
  • 9:33 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) ugly truth commercial and air force commercial….to keep CM up to date…
  • 9:33 PM: CountryCa thanks, Matt
  • 9:34 PM: CountryCa This is just like having a TV.
  • 9:34 PM: Blake Boldt Steve from Boston is actually a pseudonym I made up. Fooled y’all for so long.
  • 9:34 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Annie, I’ll definitely check it out…
  • 9:34 PM: Leeann CM, your speculative skills need some work, my friend.:)
  • 9:34 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Blake, you’re the only one who could rival him in the Patty Loveless lovefest…
  • 9:34 PM: Annie Steve is so classy about it too! I love her & I love that he loves her. Very cool.
  • 9:34 PM: CountryCa He doesn’t, Leeann!?
  • 9:34 PM: CountryCa Dang.
  • 9:35 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Imagine if there was the internets back when Patty was a big star against all the other divas
  • 9:35 PM: Leeann No, I don’t think even Blake can rival him.
  • 9:35 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) A day of rememberance, cue the special active service troops.
  • 9:35 PM: Blake Boldt Steve is super classy. We email back and forth occasionally, and he sends these Tolstoy-esque messages about her. I could not dream all that up.
  • 9:36 PM: CountryCa The thing I wonder about this touching military moment is…
  • 9:36 PM: CountryCa … what does John Rich think?
  • 9:36 PM: CountryCa We need more of John Rich in this show. Talking.
  • 9:36 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) it’s followed by Sugarland.
  • 9:36 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Kristian is sitting on a stool, making him look even shorter than Jennifer
  • 9:36 PM: bradyvercher Is this all off the record or something?
  • 9:37 PM: AikoujOi John Rich has so many fangirls in his fanclub
  • 9:37 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Jennifer’s hair looks suspiciously like Trisha Yearwood’s from award shows gone by.
  • 9:37 PM: Leeann Naw..Steve and I email a lot and he’s really good about the ribbing from me.
  • 9:37 PM: Dan Bobbie Gentry Guy is impressive. I’ll give you that. Brady, good point.
  • 9:38 PM: Blake Boldt Trisha Yearwood. Sounds familiar…She sings, right?
  • 9:38 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Yeah, it’s like some strange vortex…
  • 9:38 PM: Blake Boldt Let’s all have a round of applause for Steve!
  • 9:38 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) I can picture Trisha singing this song..
  • 9:38 PM: CountryCa Steve’s awesome.
  • 9:39 PM: CountryCa Oh, by the way, even though this is happening at this other site, it will all be posted to the main site. So don’t say anything self-incriminating, and if you already have, let me know so I can edit it out.
  • 9:39 PM: Leeann I met Steve and I can honestly report that he’s a super nice guy.
  • 9:39 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Yeah, I wish I was that passionate about an artist, The closest I got was when Collin Raye released the “I Think About You” album back in the day.
  • 9:39 PM: Blake Boldt I think CountryCa is trying to tell me something. Or he sees the flask on my desk.
  • 9:40 PM: AikoujOi I don’t think I said anything incriminating so I’m safr
  • 9:40 PM: AikoujOi you can edit my spelling errors though XMW
  • 9:40 PM: AikoujOi *CMW
  • 9:40 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) oh-oh-oh I can’t laugh, cain’t cry….
  • 9:40 PM: CountryCa XMW is the extreme version of me.
  • 9:40 PM: Leeann I’m pretty passionate about Vince if you guys didn’t know.
  • 9:40 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Nettles even is making the bad sound working well with “Keep You”
  • 9:41 PM: bradyvercher I got suckered into one of those CD clubs back in the day just so I could get The Best of Collin Raye.
  • 9:41 PM: CountryCa Are you, Leeann? Hadn’t noticed.
  • 9:41 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Randy Houser looks to be earing the same outfit that he wore last friday…
  • 9:41 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) haha…
  • 9:42 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) cue cute kid from Houser video
  • 9:42 PM: Blake Boldt I stick by my irreverence.
  • 9:42 PM: Leeann Do you think the Shania guy with multiple names would mind?
  • 9:42 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) haha, I am getting the Gokey fanbots at Roughstock. so watch out if you trash his single…
  • 9:42 PM: CountryCa No, let’s bag on him a lot.
  • 9:43 PM: CountryCa Man, I need the traffic. Gokey’s single sucks!
  • 9:43 PM: Leeann He’s alright, CM.
  • 9:43 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) hehe, it was ok for what it was, a CCM song.
  • 9:43 PM: AikoujOi CMW you can take out the posts that make me look wishy washy a bit about getting off if you want
  • 9:43 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Here comes album of the year….
  • 9:43 PM: bradyvercher Album of the Year is being announced…
  • 9:43 PM: Blake Boldt Gokey’s single wasn’t awful, but I felt like I could barely hear him.
  • 9:43 PM: CountryCa Album of the Year!
  • 9:43 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Fearless!
  • 9:43 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Like totally Awsum GRLL!
  • 9:44 PM: CountryCa Boo yeah. I called it.
  • 9:44 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) they gotta keep Taylor’s fans watching to keep the ratings at 10.
  • 9:44 PM: CountryCa Sorry, that’ll be the first and last time I say “boo yeah.”
  • 9:44 PM: Leeann I meant Vince, not the AI guy.
  • 9:44 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) I said 50-50 between Taylor and Jamey…
  • 9:44 PM: bradyvercher Did she say “Thank you for saying you like my diary?”
  • 9:44 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) but went with Jamey….
  • 9:45 PM: AikoujOi hahaha that was funny brady
  • 9:45 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) I hope that a father would believe in his daughter….
  • 9:45 PM: Mary Bills yes she did
  • 9:45 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Musician went to Mac McAnally
  • 9:45 PM: Leeann I’m hungry.
  • 9:45 PM: Annie Just wow. Nice dress.
  • 9:45 PM: AikoujOi I’m tired lol
  • 9:46 PM: Annie Leeann! LOL! Eat something!
  • 9:46 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Yes, she did say thank you for liking her diary. Nathan Chapman mentioned the word “art” w/r/t the Fearless album…
  • 9:46 PM: Leeann Love isn’t always being supportive though.
  • 9:46 PM: CountryCa When I edit this live blog, I think I’ll appropriate some of the more intelligent comments you guys have made for myself.
  • 9:46 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) long ad for “The Blind Side.”
  • 9:46 PM: CountryCa If you don’t mind.
  • 9:47 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) haha, so you needn’t use any of my comments then.
  • 9:47 PM: AikoujOi ok thats fine with me CM
  • 9:47 PM: Dan I don’t think I’ve said any yet, so no skin off my back.
  • 9:47 PM: Blake Boldt @CountryCa: My intellectual property is mine.
  • 9:47 PM: bradyvercher I think Blake is the only one saying anything intelligent.
  • 9:47 PM: AikoujOi I hope one of my comments was good enough
  • 9:47 PM: CountryCa All Blake comments will appear as CountryCa comments.
  • 9:47 PM: Blake Boldt Awww, that’s really sweet. Intelligent = alcohol-induced.
  • 9:48 PM: Blake Boldt I’ve loved having you here, AikoujOi!
  • 9:48 PM: Annie Maybe you shouldn’t include my comment about Scott Borchetta. Nah – nevermind.
  • 9:48 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) there’s no way Tim McGraw really has as much hair as he does in the commercial for Blind side. which fills up most of the commercial break.
  • 9:48 PM: Blake Boldt Now steal that, CountryCa.
  • 9:48 PM: Mary Bills Dave Matthews
  • 9:48 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) we’re always more intelligent with a little alcohol. But it’s when we have too much that it becomes problems.
  • 9:48 PM: AikoujOi aww thanks Blake.
  • 9:48 PM: Dan The CMA must have been really “intelligent” when they picked these nominees.
  • 9:49 PM: Dan By Blake’s definition, that is.
  • 9:49 PM: AikoujOi hahaha
  • 9:49 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) it becomes problems? wow, I can’t write can I?
  • 9:49 PM: Blake Boldt Oh, we got it, Dan.
  • 9:49 PM: bradyvercher How about when they picked the winners, Dan?
  • 9:49 PM: Dan Well, I don’t want to spoil.
  • 9:49 PM: AikoujOi I though the fans vote for the CMA;s
  • 9:49 PM: CountryCa No, that’s the CMTs.
  • 9:50 PM: AikoujOi oh ok
  • 9:50 PM: Annie I’m thirsty.
  • 9:50 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Oh snap, Isabelle is back on Grey’s Anatomy. Too bad I have no idea who that is…
  • 9:50 PM: CountryCa These are voted on by Chris Neal and his industry brigade. (I blame Chris personally.)
  • 9:50 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Here comes Brooks & Dunn with Billy Gibbons with “Honky Tonk Stomp
  • 9:51 PM: Blake Boldt Isabelle/Izzie is played by Katherine Heigl who is married to musician Josh Kelley who is the brother of Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum. Take that, Kevin Bacon!
  • 9:51 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Hey, now Chris Neal and my brother get into some political arguments with my brother on my Facebook page. I mean they’re epic, aren’t they LeAnn…
  • 9:51 PM: AikoujOi hahaha
  • 9:51 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) I only know her from Knocked Up and The Ugly Truth, not that Seattle Grace show…
  • 9:51 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Damn, Kix should just team up with Randy Houser….
  • 9:52 PM: CountryCa Randy Houser should team up with Kristian Bush.
  • 9:52 PM: Blake Boldt (I blame Chris.) <- Edit
  • 9:52 PM: bradyvercher That guitarist looks like John Reilly in Walk Hard.
  • 9:52 PM: Dan I watched that again just yesterday.
  • 9:52 PM: CountryCa I see what you did there, Blake.
  • 9:53 PM: CountryCa I liked Walk Hard.
  • 9:53 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Walk Hard was nice. It should’ve been nominated for a CMA Award for Album….
  • 9:54 PM: Dan Me too. Especially Kristen Wiig.
  • 9:54 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Here’s Jamey singing with Kid Rock “Between Jennings and Jones.” about the only song Jamey didn’t sing from That Lonesome Song…
  • 9:54 PM: bradyvercher How was the show at the Emerald, Matt? I saw him a few weeks ago in San Antonio and hated it, but it wasn’t really his fault.
  • 9:55 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) last friday at the Emerald Queen Casino. It was a religious experience… I have never seen so many fans sing an album back like they did at that show…
  • 9:55 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Brady, it was really good. He didn’t talk until the 12th song…
  • 9:55 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) and only then was it to quip about why he wrote “Women.”
  • 9:55 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Randy Houser thanked Tacoma, like 99 million times. but he was good too.
  • 9:56 PM: CountryCa If I were Randy Houser, I’d be thankful too.
  • 9:56 PM: bradyvercher Heh, he may have gone longer than that without talking in SA.
  • 9:56 PM: Dan Ha, CM.
  • 9:56 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) he didn’t talk hardly any more than that though.
  • 9:56 PM: CountryCa (My comments get more cryptic as the show goes on.)
  • 9:56 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) But he was funny in the meet and greet. he asked me how to say Puyallup.
  • 9:56 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) I said it and he said it back wrong again…
  • 9:57 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) for the record it’s pew-al-up
  • 9:57 PM: AikoujOi oh I been to the Puyallup Fair to see Terri in concert 4 years ago
  • 9:57 PM: bradyvercher al or all
  • 9:57 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) er, Pew-All-Up
  • 9:58 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Yes, they have country shows there every year. used to be free with fair admission until this past year. sorry but I won’t pay 50-80 bucks to see anybody, let alone LeAnn Rimes.
  • 9:58 PM: bradyvercher So Julianne Hough broke up with Chuck Wicks and she’s just as perky as ever.
  • 9:59 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Brady, I’d say some chuck wicks jokes but I promised I wouldn’t say any more…
  • 9:59 PM: CountryCa It’s hard to figure out how Julianne Hough is a human.
  • 9:59 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) here’s vocal duo of the year.
  • 9:59 PM: AikoujOi Paying 50 bucks is worth it for a Terri Clark concert heck I’ll pay any amount to see her haha
  • 9:59 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) and the winner is….
  • 9:59 PM: CountryCa I predict B&D.
  • 9:59 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Sugarland!

      The chat is too long for non-participants to read the dirty deets. However, they may also be confused and assumed I work on Modern Family, which is awesome blossom.

      I paid attention to a commercial for Modern Family for the first time and it looks like one wacky show.
