Apologies from the Station Manager

Over the past week, there has been CJLO spam sent over 3rd party news sites from the manager@cjlo.com email address.

I would like to personally apologize and let the community know that we are doing all that we can to figure out who is responsible. Any email with a news attachment or a blurb about CJLO coming from my name and the manager email is spam. I do not endorse this kind of 'publicity' for the station.

I apologize again and thank you for your understanding.


ATTENTION UGLY CHILDREN

On Wednesday the 3rd of August, Beautiful Music for Ugly Children has two very very very ugly surprises for you. First, local darkling Melankolya will be in for a chat and to dish out his beautiful music to sooth your ugly souls.

Second, Fantasia has graciously provided Beautiful Music for Ugly Children with tickets to attend the crooner of the macabre, Voltaire, who will be taking over the DB Clarke Theatre at Concordia University on Friday August 5th at 8pm.

There's only one thing BVST host Angelica likes more than rock 'n roll... Is it grilled meat? Maybe. No, it's the other awesome hosts that make up CJLO's Wednesday evening lineup!

Acetate Gratified's Summer Sign Off

Tune into Acetate Gratified on Monday, May 23rd to hear the first act (and possibly more) of Philips Glass's opera Einstein on the Beach. This marks the last last episode of Acetate Gratified for some time, as the show goes on hiatus for the summer. Join your host of questionable social graces Lachlan Fletcher and a veritable cavalcade of guests as they repeatedly count to eight in operatic voices. Spend your Victoria day in a gratifying way (see what I did there?) with Acetate Gratified, from 4-6.

Hugo from Pouzza Fest/the Sainte-Catherines will be calling to chat about the weekend of punk rock, Sway from Freedom or Death will be dropping by to perform acoustically, AND we've got some NXNE Wristbands to giveaway!

Thor Giveaway

This coming Wednesday is going to be epic on BVST, as Angelica (with special guests) get deep into Norse mythology and other Scandinavian delights (viking metal, anyone?) in anticipation of the feature film Thor.

Prepare your best story about a) Thor the Norse god, b) Thor, the comic book hero, or c) Thor, the Canadian heavy metal personality, and call in! Remember, the hammer (of the gods) comes down hard this coming Wednesday, April 27th, from 7 to 9 pm, right here on CJLO!
