10:00 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Brooks and Dunn so has that award and likely Entertainer on lockdown for 2010
10:00 PM: CountryCa Sugarland!?
10:00 PM: AikoujOi I say Sugarland
10:00 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) yes, they won….
10:00 PM: AikoujOi yeah CM
10:00 PM: CountryCa I expect Kristian to drop some nuggets on us.
10:00 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) “We didn’t expect to win this, this year!” – Jennifer Nettles
10:00 PM: Leeann What do you know? It let me back in.
10:01 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) and they asked up Brooks and Dunn…to come up. and thanked B&D
10:01 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) music video went to “Love Story.”
10:01 PM: AikoujOi wha…they been winning that for the past few years or so
10:01 PM: CountryCa “Even though we were clearly the superior choice for those who like real music” – Kristian Bush
10:01 PM: Annie Jennifer doesn’t sound very excited for the win.
10:01 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) haha, I smell a fake news post.
10:01 PM: CountryCa Ugh, Leeann. Sorry about that.
10:02 PM: AikoujOi [sarcasm] wow, great quote there Kristian[/sarcasm]
10:02 PM: CountryCa Remember when Rascal Flatts won and called Alabama up to join them?
10:02 PM: Leeann Ah, Matt. You don’t want to know how much I had to pay for Patty Loveless or Kathy Mattea then.
10:02 PM: CountryCa And Randy Owen looked murderous?
10:02 PM: CountryCa I loved that.
10:02 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) well, I said that but after seeing steve martin, I’d pay to see THAT show.
10:03 PM: Blake Boldt Or when Garth left that American Music Award on the podium? After beating Hootie of all people/groups?
10:03 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Isn’t that the way Randy always looks?
10:03 PM: Blake Boldt Remember when Rascal Flatts lost? Oh, wait, that was tonight.
10:03 PM: AikoujOi lol
10:03 PM: Leeann When you live in the Middle of Nowhere Maine, you have to pay good money to see good music, it seems.
10:04 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) nah, I am just spoiled now Leeann…
10:04 PM: Leeann The highlight of the show.
10:04 PM: bradyvercher I paid about $65 for Haggard and Kristofferson. The only other show I’ve paid that approached that was Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, Guy Clark, & Joe Ely.
10:05 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Hmm, I think I’d have to consider the cost for Haggard and Kris. Haggard’s on my ‘bucket list’
10:05 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) to see live.
10:05 PM: Dan I think I paid $70 for Keith Urban & Gary Allan two years ago. Good show, but not nearly worth that much.
10:05 PM: CountryCa I’d pay $200 to see Haggard and Kristofferson again.
10:05 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Odd, no sight of the audio from Kristian Bush’s vocal contribution on the Christmas show…
10:05 PM: Leeann Well, since we’re disclosing. I paid $85 to see Patty Loveless and the same to see Kathy Mattea.
10:06 PM: Blake Boldt Between not wanting to spoil and not wanting to soil my rep with edgy comments, I’m barely scraping together words.
10:06 PM: CountryCa Ha, Blake.
10:06 PM: bradyvercher I don’t remember what I paid for The Last of the Breed, but it was in the ball park.
10:06 PM: CountryCa No need to censor. I’m taking credit for yours anyway.
10:06 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) haha, well I might never get comp’d tickets anymore after these comments….
10:06 PM: Annie Oh God.
10:07 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) “Fifteen” with the 25-30 year old girls singing it…
10:07 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) back with Taylor…
10:07 PM: Blake Boldt I paid $200 to see a couple singers this year, but those weren’t musical meetings.
10:07 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) haha….
10:08 PM: Leeann Don’t you all love Taylor’s choir?
10:08 PM: Blake Boldt When you’re fifteen and somebody tells you they love you, he wants to get some.
10:08 PM: CountryCa Huh, Blake. Well, that gets the imagination going.
10:08 PM: Blake Boldt That’s almost a Chris haiku.
10:08 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Blake, isn’t that all the time?
10:08 PM: Annie Ha! Blake.
10:09 PM: AikoujOi lol blake.
10:09 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Blake had 2 hours to come up with that joke.
10:09 PM: Blake Boldt When you’re fifteen and/Someone tells you they love you/He wants to get laid.
10:09 PM: Leeann I love those Haikus.
10:09 PM: Blake Boldt That was seriously off-the-top-of-my-head.
10:09 PM: AikoujOi hahahahahaha so funny
10:10 PM: Annie This is not good. But she’s so dang sweet that Taylor.
10:10 PM: Leeann Now, don’t be jealous, Matt.
10:10 PM: bradyvercher Someone needs to tell LeAnn that Halloween was a couple weeks ago.
10:10 PM: AikoujOi Thats true Annie
10:10 PM: Annie Oooo – LeAnn looks baaad….
10:10 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) of course, I just can’t quip…
10:10 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Male Vocalist is….
10:10 PM: AikoujOi what is she wearing?
10:11 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Shocker….Brad Paisley…
10:11 PM: CountryCa The Hough/Wicks split has been harder on LeAnn than it has on Julianne.
10:11 PM: AikoujOi let me guess the thunder from Down Under
10:11 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) She’s wearing Eddie Cibrian, isn’t she?
10:11 PM: Leeann I don’t love her singing, but I’ll never deny that she charms the socks off of me.
10:11 PM: Annie AikouJOi – it’s her face!
10:11 PM: bradyvercher How many Bill Simmons are there in this world?
10:12 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Bakersfield wins Middle market of the year…
10:12 PM: Annie I do love her voice.
10:12 PM: Leeann I’m behind…was referring to Swift below, not Rimes.
10:12 PM: Dan I believe that’s “Bill Simmonses.”
10:12 PM: Blake Boldt @Matt Ha. Thank you for going there.
10:12 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) There are tons and it kills ESPN’s Bill Simmons everytime!
10:12 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Well Blake, I try to keep the TMZ quips up for everyone else.
10:13 PM: bradyvercher Bill Simmonis
10:13 PM: Annie I meant LeAnn’s voice. Her face, not so much tonight.
10:13 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) I love Jane Lynch! that woman steals every scene she’s in.
10:13 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) She makes Glee worth watching….
10:13 PM: CountryCa This conversation suddenly got very confusing.
10:13 PM: CountryCa Or I suddenly got very confused.
10:13 PM: AikoujOi oh ok Annie
10:14 PM: Annie Eddie Cibrian is cute.
10:14 PM: Blake Boldt I would watch Glee, but it’s on at the same time as Modern Family. I will not stop talking about that show.
10:14 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) haha….well there was an xbox commercial with actress Jane Lynch in it (cheer coach from glee, awkward woman from Role Models)
10:14 PM: bradyvercher TIME FOR MORE MOOSE DROOL, CM!
10:14 PM: CountryCa Ha, Brady.
10:14 PM: Leeann I’m with you, CM. What’s all the hype around Glee?
10:14 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) I watch Glee via hulu
10:14 PM: CountryCa Did someone say Paisley as Male Vocalist?
10:14 PM: CountryCa I have no life via hulu.
10:15 PM: AikoujOi Matt did a bit back
10:15 PM: CountryCa Makes it tough to get anything done, that thing.
10:15 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Leeann, Glee probably satisfies certain genetic genes that are always stereotyped.
10:15 PM: Leeann I wanted Paisley to win Male vocalist, but he really sounded pretty bad on the show.
10:16 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) haha, CM, Hulu does do that…
10:16 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) funny, “Hank” was the only new ABC comedy to not get advertised.
10:16 PM: Blake Boldt “Hank” was cancelled today.
10:16 PM: Dan I’m checking out, y’all. Good times, keep the faith.
10:16 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) which means it is indeed getting axed, which it should. Scrubs needs a mid-season home anyway.
10:16 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Dan, thanks for the Bon Jovi reference…
10:17 PM: Annie Have fun editing this CM!
10:17 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) that I didn’t want…
10:17 PM: AikoujOi I like Scrubs
10:17 PM: AikoujOi really funny show
10:17 PM: CountryCa Bye Dan. Thanks for hanging out.
10:17 PM: Blake Boldt G’night, D-money.
10:17 PM: bradyvercher Whatch your topknot, Dan.
10:17 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Here comes Aldean on his “Big Green Tractor”
10:17 PM: Leeann Jimmy Fallon is on my TV right now.
10:17 PM: CountryCa Ha, Annie. It’ll still be all confusing, off-topic, and disjointed. I’ll just take out the bad stuff.
10:17 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) That’s favorable to Aldean.
10:17 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Why do I like his album so much….?
10:18 PM: Annie Ciao Dan!
10:18 PM: bradyvercher Aldean is slurring his way through “Big Green Tractor” now.
10:18 PM: AikoujOi hahaha ok
10:18 PM: CountryCa I like his short-sleeved plaid shirt! (right?)
10:18 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Aldean’s slurs still sound better than Swift’s singing….
10:18 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) nope
10:19 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) not plaid. but typical other rock garb. Luke Bryan wears the plaid.
10:19 PM: Leeann I don’t hate the Aldean song.
10:19 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) I don’t hate it either, but somehow feel like I should….
10:19 PM: Blake Boldt Matt probably knows better than anyone, but I think Aldean’s been at No. 1 for seven weeks this year. Quite an achievement.
10:20 PM: AikoujOi I don’t really listen to the Tractor song
10:20 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) That sounds about right.
10:20 PM: Annie It’s like he can’t get out of 2nd gear. Weird.
10:20 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) “The Truth” will likely hit #1 too…
10:20 PM: Blake Boldt It’s not a four-week No.1 kind of song, but I don’t hate it either. Any song that has some sort of suggestive tone is at least a sideways-thumb for me, though.
10:20 PM: Leeann Don’t like the Truth though.
10:21 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Here comes Martina to sing “I was country when Country wasn’t Cool” with Charlie McCoy playing harmonica.
10:21 PM: CountryCa Sideways thumbs are cheating. Up or down, 9513 style.
10:21 PM: AikoujOi time is going by fast, I’m having fun haha
10:21 PM: Annie Love this song!
10:22 PM: AikoujOi Tractor-thumbs down for me
10:22 PM: Blake Boldt Aldean’s singing, so Down.
10:22 PM: Annie I was. I’m that old.
10:22 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) ha…suggestive songs… so you are so-so on “8 second ride” then, Blake?
10:22 PM: Leeann It’s interesting that they kept the fact that the HoF would be acknowledged under wraps.
10:22 PM: Blake Boldt I think “Eight Second Ride” is the biggest piece of trash on country radio this year and I don’t want CountryCa to edit that out.
10:23 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) haha….
10:23 PM: bradyvercher How about “Back That Thing Up” and “Country Man,” Blake?
10:23 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Did you know they edited it?
10:23 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) George Strait just came out to sing the last chorus of the song with Martina.
10:23 PM: Annie Look – Barbara!
10:23 PM: CountryCa I hate “Eight Second Ride” too.
10:23 PM: Blake Boldt It’s late; don’t get me started.
10:24 PM: Leeann I’ve never listened to the Owens song all the way through.
10:24 PM: AikoujOi me either
10:24 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) I don’t hate it but I can’t say that I love it either…I guess life would be more interesting if I was a bit more passionate about it, wouldn’t it.
10:24 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Now here’s one classy lady, Barbara Mandrell…
10:24 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Reminds me of my great conversation with her…she was so great to talk to.
10:24 PM: CountryCa If she’s classy, call her a dame.
10:24 PM: Annie She should have sang that. Sung that. Singed it. Sorry.
10:25 PM: CountryCa If you don’t, it’s a missed opportunity.
10:25 PM: Leeann Never been able to get into Mandrell.
10:25 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) she should be Dame Barbara Mandrell.
10:25 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Leeann, I’m not too big on her music either but she’s so nice and friendly, it’s hard not to like her.
10:25 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) I get the feeling that the Female Vocalist and EOTY are both going to Taylor…
10:25 PM: Blake Boldt Braindead white boy is approached by slutty, boozed-up lass. They head to his pickup, where he’s collecting his black-colored spit and they have unprotected sex while she praises a country boy’s “style.” That’s the Owen song, Leeann.
10:26 PM: Annie Yes! Love that – Matt!
10:26 PM: Leeann She does seem nice…not that I’ve ever talked to her or anything.
10:26 PM: CountryCa Blake (CountryCa) nailed that description.
10:26 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) That’s the song in a nutshell…
10:26 PM: Leeann Yes, I did pick up on the plot of the song.
10:27 PM: bradyvercher I think Blake just made me hate that song even more if that’s possible.
10:27 PM: Blake Boldt Mandrell deserves the HOF induction; she’s a great instrumentalist and terrific performer, but her musical output doesn’t rival the other “greatest women.”
10:27 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Sadly, that’s how many children are born outta wedlock in ‘white boy country’
10:27 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) or at least that’s what sophisticated sleeze rockers would say.
10:27 PM: Leeann Yes, I think she’s well deserving.
10:27 PM: AikoujOi thanks for the plot of the song Blake
10:28 PM: Blake Boldt The thing is, Owen has model looks, yet many people still find the whole thing “relatable.”
10:28 PM: AikoujOi now I know I don’t really care for the song
10:28 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) It’s great to have Al Bundy (albeit rich and with an ‘upgrade’) back on TV…
10:28 PM: AikoujOi dang I’m making too many grammer errors.
10:28 PM: Leeann Crap. There’s another half hour.
10:29 PM: Blake Boldt And I honestly don’t know anyone who’s ever compared sex to something that lasted eight seconds.
10:29 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) ha, I know. Now if some actual redneck sang that song, it might be more believable.
10:29 PM: Blake Boldt I mean, what guy would do that?
10:29 PM: Matt Bjorke (Roughstock) Jake Owen and Eric Durrance apparently…
10:29 PM: CountryCa Might as well stick it out now, Leeann.
10:29 PM: Blake Boldt Yes, I love seeing Al Bundy returning to comedy after a stint in drama. With his new show, Modern Family. I will not stop talking about that show.
10:30 PM: Leeann This is gonna have to have an After Hours stamp on it, CM.
10:30 PM: CountryCa Tell us, Blake. What do you think of Modern Family?

Enjoy this post? Tell someone!
Prefer email? Nothing wrong with that!
If your comment doesn't show up right away, it hasn't been lost. Give it a few minutes.
I keep getting bumped out, so I think I’ll call it a night.
Glad you made it back in, Leeann. Sorry for your troubles.
It was great fun! I’m glad I stayed the whole 3 hours.
That was fun! Y’all made me laugh – a lot! Let’s get together & do this again.
That was me. Ann = Annie.
I’m not as tired as I’d imagined I’d be. Guess three hours of sleep ain’t that bad. It was fun.
Was great fun…
I had a great time in the short span I was on!
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.
Wacky could describe it but it’s great fun, like some NBC comedies. I was surprised that it not only made ABC but that its also doing well on ABC.
Good live-blog, gang. Nice editing, CM. ;)
