CJLO

Chicago pop punk group Horace Pinker, hot off of their recent hiatus and celebrating their 20th anniversary, are gonna drop by the CJLO studios tonight to perform LIVE on Hooked on Sonics prior to their show later tonight @ L'esco w/ Prevenge & Or Condor.  Also, Paul from Agooddayforairplay.com will be dropping by w/ his monthly segment of dreamy pop gems. Tune in!

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!

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.

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. There will be giveaways, there will be fun, and as usual, there will be intentional & unintentional hilarity. 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!
