13 – Galliano – Better All The Time
14 – N’Dea Davenport – Bring It On
15 – Koop f/ Cecilia Stalin- Waltz for Koop

With Acid Jazz blends, I decided to lift the phrase “Old School” off of it, since Acid Jazz is more of an underappreciated genre than one tht gets a lot of recognaition and airplay. It also allowed me to pull out more tracks. like The Rebirth, Koop, abd Reel People – gems that do not get the recognition they deserve. It helps being able to pull out some N’Dea Davenport and A Tribe Called Quest also. Good stuff. Shoutouts to Alana G, Macedonia, Hyps, TGrundy anbd Mr,. McCarthy for doin’ thir thing. Got requests?

I’d like your feedback – what do you think about the nominees? You can find a list of us here. 52nd Annual Grammy Awards.The Grammy Awards will be taking place on January 31, 2010, so be on the lookout for that as well. Be sure to check out the Grammys website for up-to-date information.

The Grammys: One Of The Fans

In the past couple of months, there have been some life changes which have caused me to be a bit late with Old School Wednesdays and even more lagging with In Rotations. Often, it has been the regular increase (or severe lack / constant pursuit of) work. As I have now pushed past those issues, there is now another reason why I will be submitting the Old School Wednesday the end of the day (Wednesday).

I am now officially one of the community bloggers for the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards. I’m still overwhelmed, excited, and amazed that I have been chosen for this role- even more so that the colleagues around me are nothing short of amazing. I will be covering the R&B category which I feel is a great fit since R&B is what I grew up with and have been recognizant of all the changes that R&B has gone through. This also gives me the push I needed to again write about music (in addition to podcasting) as I did in the past (a kick in my complacency, as I like to put it.)

There will be a Grammy nomination concert that will be airing on Wednesday, December 2, 2009 at 9PM Eastern on CBS. (Please check your local listings). The theme this year is "We’re All Fans." There will be quite a few of us bloggers on Twitter during that time giving real-time feedback on the show. You can find a list of us here. The Grammy Awards will be taking place on January 31, 2010, so be on the lookout for that as well. Be sure to check out the Grammys website for up-to-date information.

The next few months will definitely prove to be interesting. In the meanwhile. look for the OSW coming out later today – and an Acid Jazz blend coming soon. Watch for it.
