Releases We Loved

There is a new and exciting year ahead of us, but we here at CJLO 1690AM want to take this chance to reminisce about the wonderful music, film, events, and FUN that 2015 bestowed upon us. The folks at the "little station that does!" give you their top picks of the year, and the lists reflect the amazing radio that broadcasts on CJLO every day, as well as the eclectic tastes of our DJs, volunteers, and staff!

And while you're here, have a look at our on-air schedule for more information on our programming, or click on a DJ's show page, all hyperlinked for your convenience below (because we care, man).

This Sunday on Fatal Attraction, Patricia is interviewing Michael J McCarthy and Super Sherri: the hosts of Glam Gam Productions' New Year’s show! Glam Gam is putting on an homage to John Waters Cabaret entitled Odorama: A Baltimore Ball Drop on New Year's Eve at Cafe Cleopatre. Just when you thought Glam Gam couldn't get any stinkier, they have saved their most rotten performances for the last hour of 2015. Put on your best polyester frock, doust your 'do with copious amounts of hairspray and join them as they pay homage to the beloved Pope of Trash, John Waters!

On an extra-special edition of Champions of the Local Scene, we will chat with Cannes award winning filmmaker Jonathan Lemieux at 6:45pm! Lemieux is screening his short film Moratoire in the Image+Nation Festival edition of Queerment Quebec, happening tomorrow (Thursday) December 3 at 7pm at Never Apart (7409 St Urbain).

Coming up today on Dirty Work, we will chat with L.A Foster at 5pm! L.A. Foster will launch her debut EP "SAUDADE" this Saturday at The Emerald / bar sans nom (5295 Parc)- with special friends John Shape (Beaver Sheppard), dancer Sabine Lawless, and Toronto's Scott Hardware (fka KEN PARK). This show is an L.A. Foster / Beaver Sheppard/ Pop Montreal co-presentation! Admission is $10 which includes a pending postcard, coming soon to your inbox with a digital download code for the new EP!

Coming up tonight at 6pm on Champions of the Local Scene, we play Look Vibrant's sessions recorded at The Oven this past September (during POP Montreal 2015 on The Groove Master's Hour)!

Marshia Celina is a performing artist & writer. Her latest project Reality Rap: The Digital Tape explores our inner struggles with capitalism, race, gender, and our complicated relationships with rap through a sonic catalogue reminiscent of the nineties.  It's not just her content that is intriguing, but her flow & style is consistent and clear throughout her work. It pays homage to classic hip hop sounds that influenced her early years. Mars proves in her work that we can be critical without criticizing and that we all have some self work to do.

CJLO is pleased to co-present CJAM's Musician's Legal Bootcamp, this Saturday, November 14, noon to 3pm in the Shatner Ballroom on the McGill campus (3480 McTavish). The Montreal Artists' Legal Clinic offers this event for free and will address the copyright and corporate law questions that musicians ask everyday.
