Just a quick update on the site. Been in one of those moods the last couple of weeks and haven't been updating much. Lots going on in personal life (new job coming up, really busy at work, preparing for the DJ gig) so been having trouble getting the energy up to do what I want. Well I should get caught up this weekend. Stuff that's coming up... -Finish the posts on the free shows in Detroit -Menage A Trois post from last week -First of a brand new series of posts -The Canadian campus [...]
With my preparing for the DJ gig last night I didn't have the energy to do a normal show with the Menage A Trois or looking on other mp3 blogs for stuff. It was good though since I had a chance to play some stuff I've wanted to check out for a bit. You can listen to Sweet Static, every Friday from 10:30am to noon on 91.5 FM in Windsor/Detroit.

In the middle of putting some mix CDs together to lighten my load for tomorrow night when I'll be the first DJ from CJAM for the new weekly series, Radio Free Thursdays. Officially I'm supposed to go from 10pm to 1am but I'm sure I'll start a bit earlier and depending on the crowd, end a bit later. So join me tomorrow night at The Avalon Front for Sweet Static night of Radio Free Thursdays.
Always mean to do this more but somehow rarely get around to it. Anyways on this week's radio edition I mentioned a couple of posts I found and said I'd give the links. So here they are. - I Am Fuel, You Are Friends has a post remembering Jeff Buckley on the 10th anniversary of his death. Lots of rare stuff and links to past posts with even more so go here to check it out . - radio free canuckistan is always full of great inteviews and the last couple of [...]

CJAM 91.5 FM in Windsor/Detroit and The Avalon Front are starting a new weekly series called Radio Free Thursdays. Every week a CJAM regular will move from the airwaves and into the club to bring their unique brand of music to the masses. I have the honor of kicking off the series this Thursday, June 7. I think the time is from 9pm to 1am but I'll confirm that in the next day or so. What to expect? Who knows. Honestly don't have a solid line-up of songs to [...]

Being right across the river from Detroit is a good thing for a music fan. Most bands hit the city at some point, so you've usually got a chance to see any act you want to catch. Another excellent thing is the huge amount of free festivals in the summer. Over the next couple of days I'm going to go over some of the ones I'm excited about. First up today is CityFest formerly known as TasteFest, running from July 4-8. It's at New Center in Detroit and offers four stages of music. [...]
The Old Soul is a Toronto band. Really great, energetic stuff. Anyways, Friendly Fire Records has released, from the best that I can see, a compilation of their two previous releases. Looks like a mix of the two Canadian records for the U.S. One of my favorite bands from the last couple of years, both live and recorded so definitely check them out. Friendly Fire has a couple of mp3s up and the retro-tinged video from "River Of Daughters" is up on You Tube. The Old [...]
