Updates and Cancellations
I don’t have to say it… weird weather huh? Warm, mid-hot days, cool/cold nights and everyone is visiting their doctors with dry coughs, and mild to heavy wheezing and sneezing including me. However, it didn’t stop my fun; MG’s new friend, Gustav, from Germany (1dopeboy on the forum) came back to the US to celebrate the Super Bowl. Earlier, my uncle surprised me with tickets to the Grammy’s so off we went; what a time that was, a blast and all those Duo’s. Well, I’m roaming this month but I will try to continue to update the sites. The top 50 are done and are uploaded for good this time, let’s hope. If you find a link that is a dud let me know. In case you haven’t seen it yet, the Artist of the Month for February is posted; I am working on some reviews. BROOMFILLER interview is cancelled for now.

Thank you all for the emails, we at MG are fine we are still up and running thank the Lord. Thousands of people are without power, people a few blocks down the street from us got their power knocked out. The electric company said it will be at least a couple of weeks before all power is restored. The clean up of the tree debris is massive. Thanks for the love and support. We love you guys.

Speaking of The Breakfast Club, the movie not the band. A plethora of emails have swamped our inbox asking ‘Who is the artist that sings The Breakfast Club theme “Don’t You – Forget About Me” In the new JC Penny commercial’ which is a spoof on the 80’s classic movie?’
While there are various bands with different versions of the classic (Simple Minds) theme song, the most popular one is the talented foursome Canadian band, Hawk Nelson, who is featured in the promotion for JC Penny ‘Get The Look!’ http://www.hawknelson.com
