Dust

Ash Wednesday.
Man, is Paul posi, or what?

As servants of God we have commended ourselves in every way:
through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger;
by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, holiness of spirit, genuine love, truthful speech, and the power of God;
with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;
in honor and dishonor, in ill repute and good repute.
We are treated as impostors, and yet are true;
as unknown, and yet are well known;
as dying, and see-- we are alive;
as punished, and yet not killed;
as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing;
as poor, yet making many rich;
as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

2 Corinthians 6: 4-10


Remember that we are dust, and to dust we shall return.

Stay Posi.

Hey everybody!
C-Dawg back again to annoy you guys. Just wanted to post this link.

SAVE CJAM! on facebook

If anyone has facebook and they want to get involved and stay informed on the current issues regarding CJAM and the unprotected status of the station, this group provides links and means of showing you support. I joined it, so should you. No seriously though, you should! A lot of hard work goes into the shows you love and I can testify to that first hand after all the times I've thickened the airwaves. So do what you can; everyone working with and in conjunction with CJAM are grateful to be serving you delicious tunes and hope to keep providing that to you so show them some love!

PEACE

Bathroom Promo's work, people!

Hey everybody!
C-dawg again. I was just taking a leak at school and saw that Blurt is hosting their last show EVER at the Chubby Pickle on February 20th. These guys have been around for a pretty long time so I definitely thought it worthy of spreading the news. A huge bonus is that the show is FREE, but I'm sure the guys would appreciate some real support and a couple donations; so open your hearts as well as your wallets and come out to see Blurt say farewell. They've had a huge impact over the years on this communities scene and they deserve a sweet reminder of our appreciation and gratitude. Hope to see you all there; here's a link to their site if you need to contact them for any reason.



I'd also like to note that they will be playing their second last show in London this weekend. So maybe if schedules won't permit. You can make a mini-roadtrip and say your goodbyes a little early. I wasn't going to post the flyer but after mucho delibirero...here she be. I hope this facilitates your musical needs junkies! Incase of any ambiguity, this show is $5 at 7PM. Please show your support and make these last few shows memorable.

One final note, don't forget to listen to your favorite station 91.5 with liveitup. Your host is taking a sweet vacation next week so call in and wish him well. He deserves a great vacation with all the hard work he puts into everything he does in trying to bring you quality sounds with a meaningful message.
Bon voyage meilleur ami!
Enjoy yourself and soak in every moment of fun!
Have a good week readers.
C-Dawg signing and siNging off!... for now ;)

Upcoming shows in Windsor!

Hey readers, listeners and fans of liveitup on CJAM 91.5! C-dawg droppin some show flyers I picked up last night at the AMBUSH! show for ya. Some great bands are making a stop in Windsor and would love to see some support. There's a couple weeks to prepare so book the evening in your calendars and get psyched! Some great local stuff showing off their talent too and hopefully we'll get the chance to see you there. Unfortunately I have no idea what the cost of the show the 23rd is, but I'll try to find out for you a.s.a.p.

AMBUSH! @ THE CHUBBY PICKLE - THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5TH
Wolfman and I were able to make it to the AMBUSH! show last night after all. I must apologize to any listeners who I misinformed. Wednesday night before the liveitup show, I checked their myspace and the venue had been changed, I contacted them for directions but only after the show did I get a response. They said that for the purpose of crossing the border, they had to change the venue location...? Strange, but I'm just hoping that I didn't lead anyone in the wrong direction. Anyways, it was a terrific show. I got there a little late so I missed Queen Annes Lace but I heard they put on a great set. Next up was Tough Luck! who pointed out their own tough luck with the fact that two of they members were unable to attend their own show. Regardless, they made due and did a pretty great cover song that got everyone going. Then Waking Without Remorse played, heavy heavy set, great vocals, turned a lot of heads. Unfortunately Versus Hope didn't play as scheduled; I'm not sure why yet, I was looking forward to hearing them but no mention was made of them dropping the show late or anything. And finally, AMBUSH! Although their set was way to short for what I had hoped, it was great nonetheless. They played Friendship last, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Some good dancing going on; one guys pants pretty much shimmied right off at one point! Underwear and all; can't say it was a highlight! But great energy, vocals, riffs, and message. Very approachable guys too, shook hands with everybody after the show and were really nice. Unfortunately they were sold out of cd's before they even got here so it doesn't look like your host will be playing anything new for the moment but we'll try to get something ordered. So anyways, the bottom line is, GREAT show, GOOD times and many memories.

Here's a few more flyers to consider:


Just incase of any obscurity, the TERMINATOUR 2 is on the 25th of Feb, at 5! There's a lot of great bands playing so come out and show some love for all of 'em and have a good time. It'll be $12 advanced or $15 at the door and it's an ALL AGES and licensed show. I know it seems a bit steep but it's a big show and should be lots of fun. The Drop Your Pants and Dance Tour is $7 at 6PM. If you have any other questions call in or check out these bands myspaces here:
My Son My Son
And I apologize for the girth of this post. I tried to format it to make it as viewer friendly as possible, but at the same time keep the show info clear.

That's all for now,
Enjoy your weekends,
clear minds, open hearts

Gonna try something new with this one, brews.

News.

Alright, so there are some changes on the horizon commin to CJAM. Got this memo courtesy of Cassandra Caverhill, Program director; seems that we're "currently applying for an amendment to our broadcasting undertaking to assume a new signal at 99.1 FM". This is because we do not have "Protected Status" from the CRTC and, as we've been pressured by the FCC to make a change because of the level of interference with other American Stations. So now we're facing possible removal from the FM band. Because of this we're lookin to get in on 99.1 FM, which could afford the "Protected Status". The application is before the CRTC, and is open for public comment. So we need all the support we can get and, if you get a chance, the station and us here at liveitup would really appreciate if you could show your support by writing an e-mail or sending a letter. www.crtc.ca or fax to 819-994-0218 or go old-fashioned too
CRTC Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2. Let's keep this goin ladies and gents.

Ok, now for sum music news.
So there are a ton of shows goin on in windsor this month, all of em (so far) at the Chubby Pickle, so make an effort and support our local bros. Check the Shows post fo specifics, but this month we've got LoveHateHero, BBABH, Abandon All Ships, I Am The Vine and Cut To The Chase just to name a few.

The Ghost Inside and The Gorgeous have new vids up on Myspace, if your interested, and The Sainte Catherines have "new songs: remix & cover" up on theirs.

Also, xFinal Fightx are takin pre-orders for their new LP, "Half Head, Full Shred", which I personally am real pumped for. If you want a taste, check their myspace and listen to the 3 new tracks they have up. Prime.

Man, straight from the source on this one. My Big Brew just called me to say that he ran into Dallas, Steele and Rat-Beard of Alexisonfire this afternoon. Apprently they like Quiznos. But, more importantly, they're headin into the studio next week to record their next album. They'l be tourin to support it in the summer. So WATCH OUT.

And finally, and unfortunately, the much anticipated Saints Never Surrender interview did not go down last weekend. No worries though, because we were originally goin to do it over the phone anyway. I'l get that to you asap.
