We're back for 1 week really. Well, next week is the Pledge Drive show. So we go from a week off to special programming for the Pledge Drive. So this year the musical portions of the show will be the best of the year so far. Sort of a Festive 50 preview show.
I hope you tune in with your wallets and cheque books at the ready and you'll hear some great tunes as well.
Tonight was all about fitting in as much new material as possible, including 3 album sessions (well 1 proper album profile and 2 mini sessions). Even manages to fit in some pseudo Halloween tracks. Hope you enjoyed the show.
Remember, CJAM needs your help so I hope you tune in and give generously. And thank you!

CJAM 99.1FM Pledge Drive time again
Hello friends!
Well it's that time of the year again. Halloween is in the air, the leaves are changing colour and CJAM hits the airwaves for your support. Yes it is time for the annual Pledge Drive. The one time a year that CJAM members ask their families, friends and of course loyal listeners to help support another year of quality alternative programming.
The on-air part of the Pledge Drive starts on Friday, November 4th at noon and runs for one week until Friday, November 11 at noon. This is the what's called the pre-pledge portion, where the volunteers hit up their families and friends for their support. You know I have been the host of Cowboys & Indies, a British indie and alternative show for over 20 years now. It is more important than ever in hard economic times for us to find sources of revenue to keep CJAM functioning 24/7/365. CJAM is a non-profit volunteer led organization. We provide alternatives to the mainstream/commercial radio and news world that is far to prevalent today. From non-mainstream news to ethnic programming representing many different cultures to voices for marginalized people from different backgrounds and of course music that challenges and entertains.
All I am asking you at this time is to make a pledge promise. Just simply send me an message with your address and details and pledge amount. I will do the rest. I will then email you with instructions on how to fulfill your pledge in a couple weeks. No amount is to small. What matters is CJAM staying on air for another year.
OR
You can pay online at the CJAM website (www.cjam.ca) if you want to pay by credit card or Paypal. Fear not all is secure and your details are and will not be sold to outside parties. Just simply follow the easy instructions. Just drop me a quick message if you choose this method so I can thank you personally.
Thanks for the support,
Marc Cazabon

Show tracks for Sat. Oct. 22/11
As you heard (or about to hear if you download the show), there was a special guest host last night for Cowboys & Indies. Martin Deck, host of CJAM's Wake The Town, graciously agreed to fill in for me last night as I was down at the Colosseum to see Duran Duran. His post punk retrospective was a treat for the ears. Loyal listeners will be familiar with some tracks and hopefully others will be new discoveries. Martin forwarded me the track list so you can check it out. A big thank you to Martin for hosting the show last night!
Remember that the Pledge Drive is coming soon. More info will be provided on this weeks show. I hope you can support us in the 2011 Annual CJAM Pledge Drive.

Show tracks for Sat. Oct. 15/11
We're coming up on that time of year again, pledge drive time. The first week of November will be the annual CJAM FM Pledge Drive. This year the theme is Staying Alive...yes I know it's an awful disco song, the sentiment rings true. We need your help to keep broadcasting in the Windsor/Detroit area. You'll be hearing more in coming days/weeks. Stay tuned for the info. Drop me a line here if you would like to donate to CJAM FM and I will help you out.
Just a quick reminder that there will be a guest host for Cowboys & Indies nest Saturday night. Martin Deck, the host of Wake The Town (also on CJAM FM) was kind enough to fill in so I could go see Duran Duran at the Coliseum here in Windsor. He has hinted that he will be featuring a post-punk spotlight. Enjoy the change of pace and I will see in 2 weeks.
So because I'm not going to be here next week I wanted to feature as much new material as possible.
See you in 2 weeks!

Show tracks for Sat. Oct. 8/11
I really miss going to the record store and buying the latest releases. I'm not trying to offend any of the local record stores that I frequent but the selection of British bands in this city is really pitiful. I know that I'm really impatient and can't (or won't) wait for releases to be ordered because I need them right away for the show. But having to wait sometimes weeks for domestic releases drives me loopy. I don't like ordering off the interwebs. I guess I'm old skool and want to hold the new releases and go right home and play them. Playing some older artists tonight made me reminisce I guess...lol

LP Session part deux! For a second week we feature extra mini-lp sessions. This time the mini sessions are more indie in nature. Bands that aren't as well known but deserve to be heard none the less.
