Show tracks for Sat. Oct. 3/09 Pledge Drive Pt.2
Well, it's official 91.5Fm is off the air. The party last night was great. I think we all realize now how great 99.1FM will be starting tomorrow (Wed.) at noon.
The pledge drive appears to have been a success. The final totals are not in yet, but they seem to indicate that we got very close to our goal for 2009! Thanks to all who pledged at any point through this year's pledge drive!
Sorry for the delay in posting but it was an end to a hectic couple weeks of radio.
So I was thinking what should me first song be on my first show on 99.1FM? I have a couple ideas, but if you have any feel free to post them here before this Saturday. If I pick your song I will send you a free cd or maybe 2.
Well, it seems that the crap email service I use has lost all my drafts. So I can't update the tracks played on the last weeks show. It was the second pledge drive show so there wasn't as much music played as normal. If I can recover them I will post them right away.
Sorry for any inconvenience!

Show tracks for Sat. Sept. 26/09 Pledge Drive Pt.1
IT'S COMING!
After all the hullabaloo of the pledge drive and frequency switch, we will be debuting a new aspect of our show. The weekly show will remain the same as always, but there is a special addition coming soon. It's still a secret. We'll announce it on our fist show on 99.1FM.
The pledge drive is under way for 2009. Our first of two pledge drive shows was a success raising just under $300. Thanks to all people who pledged their support to CJAM! There is still more time for you to do the very same thing. You also have one more chance to pledge during Cowboys & Indies this coming Saturday night.
The show was a little less music orientated this week because of all the talking. The same thing will happen next week. Because of pre-emptions, the pledge drive, etc there will be only 1 "normal" show in over a month. I do apologize for that, but pledge drives are necessary. We opened the proceedings with a track named for our Pledge Drive this year, Movin' On Up, little did Primal Scream know that they wrote a track for out Pledge Drive some 18 years early...lol
primal scream - movin' on up
editors - papillon
jamie t - chaka demus
codeine velvet club - hollywood
northern portrait - new favourite moment
dizzee rascal - bonkers
bad lieutenant - sink or swim

Show tracks for Sat. July 11/09
Well, we're back to the normal format after last weeks special show. Lots of positive feedback on the special show which was great. It was a blast doing it and it brought back lots of great memories of doing the Brit night at the Loop many moons ago. Stay tuned for the news on the next special show in August.
We often make the joke "Is anyone listening?" We know that's not true but last night I did wonder. With Festival Epicure, Phog Fest and Kiss at the Casino last night, that was probably more a true statement than a joke...lol
Regeneration Tour was a complete joke this year. Bands canceling left and right. That left Detroit with 3 bands instead of the scheduled 5. Don't get me started. I was really disappointed the way it turned out and will certainly think twice about next year. But ABC were great so we open up with them.

Show tracks for Sat. May 30/09
The first two songs tonight go out to a friend, Marianne, who went through a traumatic few weeks. Her beloved puppy, Eno, went missing. She and friends combed the greater Toronto area, until finally the search was over and he was returned. Due to the kindness of a family who took little Eno in and kept him safe until the reunion. She showed her gratitude to all who helped in the search by having a party. So I dedicated the first two tracks to little Eno and his safe return home.
Special show coming up, so stay tuned for the details.
