Friday March 11th marks the return of the CJLO listening party in honour of the latest release by one of the most important College Radio bands of all time, R.E.M.

The night will take place at Helm (273 Bernard W.) in the Mile End from 9:00 pm until close.

Uncle Ian from the Go-Go Radio Magic Show will be spinning tunes from the new record as well as sets built around the latest offering from the boys who put Athens, Georgia on the map.

With copies of the CD and vinyl to give away to a few lucky people, the night is ripe to be a great one. Stop by, have a drink and check out what Mr. Stipe, Mr. Buck and Mr. Mills have been up to.
