Special Ops Commander Azim Rashid lands himself a Blessing to hitting the road with Vinny the SIN for a Texas Tornado Trip covering Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio. Vinny would like to send a special thanks to Special Ops' Naomi McCier for putting the itinerary together and to Junius Thomas for executing it... Extended Blessings go out to the Programmers and everyone else Vinny had the opportunity to spend time with including Skip Cheatham, Homie Marco, Big Bink. Cindy Hill, Terri Thomas, J-Que, Mike Love, Lue Calhoun, Gary Bond, Stephanie Williams, Mark Adams, Lady Jade, Jay Shannon and Cruz... Babysitter, sorry we missed you this time around. (Check out the Texas Tornado page in this week's issue for photos from the trip.)

Roadrunner's John Boulos grabs a halo for dropping by the S.I.N. offices with UK sensation Little Boots to record a Vitamin A segment in support of her current single "Remedy" which is starting to buzz at Top 40 and has some early fans at Rhythm including Francisco Aguirre/XHTO, Jonathan Shuford/KTBT and Vic Latino/WPTY... Boulos earns an extra blessing for hooking up tickets to the Little Boots performance at Highline Ballroom.

Columbia's Ayelet Schiffman and Brian Nolan were well on their way to being X-Communicated this week but landed on the Saints side instead for giving Vinny and the S.I.N. team a preview of some of the labels' upcoming releases that had Vinny more in the Range of Happiness after their visit.

Universal Motown's Rhythm duo of Sujit Kundu and Davey D earn a blessing for securing #1 Most Added honors at Rhythm Radio with Drake "Over." Neither Sujit or Davey are taking to long to bask in their success, remaining focused on the continued development of Ja-Bar "Daze," Young Money "Steady Mobbin'" and Birdman "4 My Town."

Atlantic's John 'Horse' McMann and the Pop team gallop to #1 Most Added at Top 40 with a S.I.N. favorite, B.o.B.'s "Nothin' On You" which is now heard on nearly 100 Pop stations as it continues to climb at Rhythm and is buzzin' at Urban radio.

Get well Blessings are extended to WWKX's Dan 'Hercules' Hunt who was recently injured while working out... Dan feel better and next time just sign up for Vinny's Boot Camp... he'll knock you into shape and keep you safe.

The S.I.N. family sends our heartfelt condolences to Epic's Jacqueline Saturn on the loss of her mother Nancy Saturn... our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Lightning Bolts zap our Radio Programming Buddies who continue the practice of Adding a record for Impact week when they aren't even passionate about the single. You're doing a discredit to the Artists, the Music and your listeners when you jump on a song without legitimately believing in it or when you know the time is not right for your station. Vinny says, "This sh*t pisses me off because it paints a false picture for the Artists, their Music and can have a negative impact on development of the project."

Universal Motown's Tommy Nappi slips onto the Sinners Side this week for taking too long to get us a "toned down guitar" edit of Vita Chambers "Young Money" for Rhythm Radio... Thankfully you came through in the clutch... we have the new version posted on our site and are sending it out to Programmers who have indicated it could help. Nappi, Vinny is watching you.

San Antonio Spurs Roger Mason was a prime candidate for a blessing but shot an air ball at the buzzer when he showed up to a meeting with Vinny the SIN without any Spurs memorabilia. Good thing for Roger he introduced us to New Artist, Cece Segarra whose debut single "Go Your Own Way" is currently featured on SINternet.com... Look for a Vitamin "C" from Cece to debut on the site soon.
