Bridge the Gap brings you the best in punk, hardcore, oi, psychobilly, etc... Why, because what we say is the best must be the best. On top of all the great music, we'll list of the must-see shows, political gatherings, and other events of the week.

While there is no official co-host, you can count on a bunch of my crazy buddies to be droppin' in to do silly things on air. Last, but definitely not least, we'll be bringing you awesome interviews, live sessions, and show reviews to top off an already excellent show.

So tune in Tuesdays from 8-10pm everyweek!

Work, work, work

It seems that while everyone else at the station is off for studying, homework, or out of town at this end of the semester... I will be working.  Yes, BtG was on hiatus and moved times because of my new job.  Unfortunately this new job will also require that I be absent from my show every now and again.  So this Tuesday, April 8th will be one of those Tuesdays where you will be stuck listening to a repeat of the show.  Very sorry kids, but I will be back next week in full force, possibly with interviews and/or sessions.  We will keep you posted here, as we often try to do.  Ciao for now.

A Whole Lot o' Shakin'

Paddy's Day weekend is now over, and I'm sure some of you are still feeling it's nasty effects.  Well if you're still suffering from a headache perhaps you should just go to bed like the old fart you are.  If you're in near top shape like my youngself, tune in tonight for a random playlist of loudness. 

Next week, we'll finally review RMR: The Book.  It's an easy read, particularly if you're already a fan of Rick Mercer.  So you still have a week to play catch up.  The next book in line Death of a Revolutionary: Che Guevara's Last Missionby Richard L. Harris.  If you have been reading along, or would like to but can't find a copy of the book, contact me.  Maybe I can pass you my copy!

WE'RE BACK

I know this is very exciting news for some of you... It is for me!  We'll be back on air every Tuesday with a new timeslot: 8pm-10pm, starting February 19th.  We'll be playing the same kind of stuff as usual, just at a new time.  Look for new interviews and sessions in the near future, so stay tuned to BridgetheGap every week!!!  Also, with the new timeslot we're hoping to get some of you more involved, by coming in as guest hosts, calling in to stir up trouble on-air, and generally just have listeners participating more actively.

Going on vacation?

This Tuesday, Dec. 18th will be the last edition of BtG in it's existing 4-6pm time slot. Unfortunately there will be no more BtG until we can find a new timeslot, which is as of yet unavailable. So kids, this is where we say goodbye for now, but keep tuning in to CJLO, and we'll keep you posted about a new timeslot.

Halloween!!!

After living through a week of illness and another week of CMJ madness, your favorite dj has finally got on top of her stuff. BridgetheGap will be packed this upcoming Tuesday, Oct. 30th!!! In fact we'll be so busy that we are going to have to put the continuation of our Top 100 punk songs of all time on hold, yet again. But alas, no need to worry. Instead we will air a live session we recorded with Swiss-rock band The Peacocks and our interview with Career Suicide. Also, we must not forget, our annual Halloween special, where we whip out the best of horror-rock and psychobilly evilness. And, of course, tune in the following week for the continuation of our Top 100 (according to Jax).

Sorry

For those of you who tuned in today expecting more of my picks for the Top 100 punk tracks of all time, I am sorry. Unfortunately I have been not well. Next week I will also not be in. So we will only continue our Top 100 on Oct. 25th. Sorry again friends.

Top 100 Tunes

Finally, the list has been made.  We will begin our series, which should take 4 or 5 episodes, this Tuesday (Sept. 25th).  Generally, we tried picking songs for their classic factor, but obviously this list is my (and JP's) subjective opinion on the best 100 punk songs of all time.  And yes, I am a girl!  So some of these songs are going to have mega cheesy-factor.  But after making the short-list, I realized that, as usual, we are way under the required 30% Canadian content... so we've made a best 25 punk songs list separately for the Canadian bands.  You don't want to miss this!!!

Bridge the Gap: News - Monday, September 10th, 2007

No Redeeming Social Value

Yes, it has finally happened! I got an interview with my most all time favorite band... albeit a very drunk and ridiculous one. Tune in Sept. 11th to hear Queen's finest.

Top 40 Punk albums?!

Now anyone who was tuned into CJLO last Tuesday at 4pm knows, we at BtG decided to put together a list of my top 40 punk rock records of all time. We also did a separate top 10 of Canadian punk records. Last week we played the bottom half, and this week will be the top records. Wanna know what made the top of our list? Tune in August 21st at 4pm and find out!

Live Sessions!!!

While we can't interview every band that comes to (or near to) town, BridgetheGap is still bringing you some exciting stuff this summer. The most recent news is that Rabies, Warkrime, and Social Circkle will all be in our studios this weekend to record live sessions for us (which will air either on July 24th or 31st... depending on how quickly I can mix everything).

Hailing from Baltimore, these guys came all the way to Mtl just for a live session with me! Well, not really. But they did come record a bunch of live tracks with us on Friday, before their show at l'Inco. Tune in on July 10th to see what came of it... you don't want to miss it!!!

The Dwarves - Postponed to May 15th

So, Blag of the legendary Dwarves didn't make it to the CJLO studio on May 8th for my show, as we were all hoping (sniff, sniff). But he did come in during the Hooked On Sonics timeslot! So we have a sexy interview involving nudity, a whole lot of non-CRTC approved language... and live solo love songs (you know, the ones that really bring a tear to your eye). So tune in on May 15th for the whole debacle.

The Dwarves - May 8th

Hailing from San Francisco, the Dwarves will be rockin' out at Club Lambi on Tuesday, May 8th. But before they take the stage, they'll be droppin' by BridgetheGap to gab about the tour and their recent projects... and maybe a live set?  So tune in to BtG from 4-6pm, and email any questions you have for the band to bridgethegap@cjlo.com
