XXII

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.
