Well, if you've found yourself on my dj page once again, you'll be pleased to find out that I will be ripping the brand new Dozer release ' Beyond Colossal '. It's like urine running down a terrified leg ; warm, relieving....yet forbodeing. Such a valient effort from theses guys, considering how their last one fell a little short of the BTG3 standard...I was highly disappointed. This one blows doors...so check it out...I'll be rippin' a few from it.

  Also on deck will be the new Tim's Myth album ' Harbour '. Local pros given' 'er hard. Features my old friend Stefan Gaudreau, one of the most prolific session drummers on this planet...wicked local boys doin' it right.

   Ofcoarse the usual BTG3 mayhem will ensue...it's all gonna be o.k., the K-man's gottcha covered. # to call as per usual is 514-848-7471...peace out bitches...

                 Hey there , just a quick note  for what's on deck for the next onslaught ..I've got the brand new Clutch album called ' Full Fathom Five '. It's live and it's not a light listen...this is a compilation of 4 U.S. dates (one on New Year's Eve ) and 1 show from Australia.

                 It's pretty metalicious for Clutch I must say..it'll fit perfectly 'cause I'm pullin' out some vicious metal a soir chalise!. I've got the new Skeleton Witch that I had given you a taster of last show...the album is called ' Beyond The Permafrost '. Man is it brutal, like Merciful Fate meets Mastodon, it's the only way I like to hear dualing guitars in this genre...

                 Also, I have the downright weird Spleen VS Ideal, a band from France with their new release ' Souvenirs '. Freakshow if I've ever heard one! The # to call is still 514-848-7471...ahight..we're good to go.

                Well, it's been a little less than a year since Montreal got a taste of Petunia..so what a treat it was to see him play this tiny little venue called The Yellow Door on Aylmer. With a co-ops social charm, this place is literally the oldest ' coffee house ' in North America.

                Although pleasantly lacking the typical beatnic ubervibe of some of these legendary poetry/folk haunts, there was a distinct aura of.....illumination after entering..dig? Like what your're about to witness is important..necessary .                  

                My old friend Petunia rolled through town as usual..like a high plains drifter..barely announced..more..let's say ...anticipated. This is story telling at it's best my friends. Old school, old timey..it's freaky to see some one I've known for years to tap..so deeply and profoundly into hill/rockabilly, country and bluegrass..so naturally..jebus..I didn't even know he played guitar 10 years ago..and to be honest ..he didn't.

               Petunia delivers a slice of life from the present in the words and music of the past...like ..Hank Von Steinbeck from the 25th century?  His vocal delivery can be so sorrow filled and haunting one minute and down right evil and ornery the next. Strummin' an' a pickin' through his sometimes dark stories of a lifes experiences..he proceeded to captivate a small audience of hard core country buffs..who could find the time (and the place) on a Tuesday evening.

              Country music..in a cafe..with tea 'n' coffee....would you beleive there wasn't a drop of brown liquor in the place? That was weird...not that I was shakin' for it or anything...just would have been nice to git some corn squeezin's is all. I'll have to talk to you about that Molly..but mum's the word.

             Petunia kicked right into things with a couple of rockabilly tunes, one about Mexico..pretty song..' Dixie Fried ',' Yes Baby Yes '....he played ' Not in My Name ', ' Teardrops Rollin' , ' Breakmans Blues ',' Sunset Blues ', his awsome ' Cricket Song '..definately a favorite with most of the audience. 

            I personally thought his haunting piece ' Ballad of Hansome Ned ' was the song of the night ..what a performance. Singin', playin' guit., kazoo, and yodelling..fuck around..solid people..solid performance. Neil Young high on the dixie dust folks... He delivered ' Ain't No Grave ' with the grace of a eulogist..in a good way..

            ' Wake Up Sinners ',' Mercy '- another one of my favorites about sellin' your soul and one's mental state in times of extreme duress, ' Cattle Call '- with a little crowd participation..you had to have been there..more people should have mooed.

             ' Hillbilly Hot ' was too wicked, Petunia has some mighty scales of desert doom which he plays like he literally sold his soul...I'm going to have to talk to him about that!

             Oddly enough, one of the heaviest tunes he played that night was when he played a song from the new Kris Kristophersson album..have you heard it..it's already won a spot on my end of the year top 10 albums list..I can tell you that much. The other stand out ( they all bloodywell stood out ) tune for me was ' Ugliest, Bitterest, Coldest, Dreariest Place I've Ever Seen '.

             Oh ya, I got him to play.. what's that song called.." Circle be Unbroken '..too lazy to google it guys..the 'ol timey.." bye and bye lord, bye and bye .." song? Classic.

             A moving performance, which we ( me, Ron and Petunia..we call him by his birth name..in case you're wondering..I just can't seem to call him Petunia after all these years!) soon followed with 3- 45 minute rounds of Texas Hold 'em at Elsee's...and yes we were hittin' the tonsil varnish..finally got some neck paint in us in the form of single malt scotch....with a small bunch of enthused liquor enabled Irish/Australian tourists cheering us on....the night was a three pointer at the last 2 seconds of a b.ball game.. a fuckin' sweet victory.

                         Sweet show lined up for you all...I've got the new Melvins cd ' New With Boots '. Gonna rock a few songs from that as well as the brand new Roadsaw album ' See You In Hell '. The first 4 songs on that album could peel fresh paint..it's that hot.

                        I gave you guys a sneak preview last week of the brand spankin' Tweek Bird. What a riot that cd is..really crazy stuff. So I'm going to hit you with a few more from that one. Some Anglo Jackson, this new band is pretty heav..you heard one song last week, another sneak preview you tasted .

                       Also, man I just spoil you guys rotten sometimes...but that's why you love BTG3...I have the new Atomic Bitchwax cd 4..as in fourth album...unfortunately minus their original drummer..I already miss him....

                         So turn up your hearing aids and punch a baby..it's coming straight down the barrel at cha this week...don't blink. The # to call is 514-848-7471.

                 It's been 23yrs. since this band has been in town..so pretty much their 3rd show here in Montreal and what better venue than the Foufounes Electriques...too punk rock..

                 Well, not quite as punk rock as the Rising Sun's G.B.H./ Unruled show in '83 but close enough...the smells were..i can attest to that....yikes, it smelled worse in that club last night than ..like...the worst toilet in Scotland ..you hear me? Rotting squatter corpse's diaper...you get ...the drift ? PUNK ROCK.

                 And let me tell you; highly politically charged lyrics coupled with one of the highest energy bands ever to assemble...you got something special. This punk band blew doors on almost any other British punk band around at the time...and obviously especially ringing true today. These mutants haven't stopped putting out records or touring...17 albums later folks..that's ridiculous in itself..

                 They weren't -in my book- a punk band musically..they were a fast rock band with a brutal metal sound, this ain't like the Sex Pistols...this is like, almost Discharge heavy...Motorhead fast..well..old Motorhead fast I mean..that's the scene.

                 Their pace was tight, fast and brutal; after the house soundman, whoever the latest one is, managed to find a nice equalibrium between the monitors and the mic, Colin Abrahall let some shit go like a fuckin' champ...although I couldn't beleive how much he resembled Hughy Lewis....something that haunted me throughout the show and amused my whole crew..and speaking of crews; theirs was almost complete, safe for their original drummer Andrew Williams.

                Ross Lomas was absolutely flying on his monsterous trade marked bass sweeps. Totally on point, that guy was..Freakin' Birmingham..mate, their so fucking from the Middlands it's hysterical..it's all so  " pour us a pint mate.." and " ..get stuffed" and " piss of "  and " fah....ckin'  'ell mate.."....kapisch?  

                Colin Blyths guitar tone was just how it always was...double humbuckers for pickups..his amp firing out the sonic chunk that is his bread and butter.

                They ripped through a blazing set of hits like ' Time Bomb ', 'Necrophiliac', 'Freak', the brutal ' No Survivors ', the anthemic ' Generals '  a song, unfortunately  being so relevant again today; what with America starting all kind of wars..again.. fucking heav' moment..that eerily had everyone one the same page for a sec..

                Their energy was off the hook totally in tandem with the crowds' for their songs ' City Babys Attacked By Rats " and ' City Babys Revenge ' which they played back to back. They absolutely destroyed the place with one of my personal faves ' Sick Boy ' ...aaahhhhhhrrgh  " I'm a sick boy....mess you up.." makes you want to hand out flowers, and buy cookies from a girl scout.....maybe a long insightful conversation with a Jehovah's Witness...over a spot of tea....not

                 They played ' Big Girls ' with a stage full of women from the audience...too rock star, so silly....G.B.H. ripped through a cover of the Stooges classic ' 1970 '  and played the fastest version of the Clashs' ' White Riot '  that I've ever heard. Really old school vibe. A meeting of the old guard in a way..saw a lot of familiar faces...ahhh made the lot of us feel ancient...what ah ya gonna do..a lot of blasts from the past came to mind... G.B.H. rocked a new one from an upcoming album and it was wicked..encore finished with their classic ' Alcohol ' ...." alcohol oh alcohol I love you in my brain...".... indeed. 

                   This particular Montreal show was the 40th and last of their 3 month North American tour so they were pretty balls out..it was something to see....did I mention that it was like 100 degrees in that club? Fucking ridiculous....ahh the Foufes,  everyones favorite shit-hole.....up yours...                   

                               Hiiiidy ho, well would you believe that after 18yrs of internet and cable radio; Beyond That Graveyard lll is finally on the am waves? Yup, 1690 on the am dial.

                               Been a long time comin', but you know how community colleges work..right, they don't half the time....fo' real. 6 excecs. later, when truely nobody gives a shit anymore..it finally happened. No more streaming the signal, to awsome for those without a router I'm sure.

                              I am going to destroy the greater Montreal area, you know this, so there will be no apologies mmmmuuuuhahahahaha. The # to call is still 514-848-7471. If you have any questions just contact me through http://www.kiranskitchen.com .

                    Last time I saw these guys, was November....26, 1997 at Foufs. I never forget a perfect storm. What a brutaly tight and foamy onslaught of pure Cali sunshine. My band mates and I were totally blown away, same line up tonight except for the drummer, in '97 it was Alfredo Hernandez( ex-Kyuss, Vic Dumonte, Brant Bjork ), tonight it was Scott Reeder.

                     What shitty karma, or more realistically, what twit booker from hell managed to book these monsters of stoner-rock at the Cafe Campus. That place has less sole than a leggless hippie. Seriously though,  Fu Manchu makes it happen regardless ; wether they're stuffed into a bar that turns into a disco at 11:00 or not....

                  We walked into the place after the first 3 songs..aaaaaarrhh... hate missing those songs but hey,...what are you gonna do: driveing to a show during the construction season in Montreal is a bloody crap shoot at best. I think we missed " Trapese Freak ", and " Tilt " ? Sourses told me some songs from the  1995 album' Daredevil '. We walked into " Evil Eye " from their ' The Action Is Go ' album. Awsome sound..., like being slapped with cotton candy and then doused with blue fire.....mmmm...in a good way...

                   From the same ' Daredevil ' album they slammed the audiences' sences with an avalanche like delivery of their song " Saturn lll "..so, so heavy. Lead guitarist Bob Balch is a heighnous abuser of the wah; his tone.. unabashed, pure wah gold, like honey from the jar..it's a musical homeage to like.... sasperhila, or cream soda, or b.b.q. pork...you dig?

                   The sound was like what it must feel like to ride in a tank, vaccuous reverb to the point of perfect tone, a humming behind your jaw, constant and driving, like going over a metal bridge and hummin' in key with the sound of your tires...

                  The fuzz tones that were swirling , in perfect time with the bass, from Scott Hill's clear ampeg guit, honestly always reminds me of that first rythm guitar player from the Cramps, what was his....Brian Gregory..that's it..the guy that looks like G.E. Smiths evil twin..classic fuzz people, it doesn't get much better than this.

                  Especially when they tore the shit out of " King Of The Road " and absolutely sauntered through " Boogie Van " and raced through " Hell On Wheels " at almost 3 times the regular tempo,( made the crowd collectively wet itself ); all 3 songs from their wicked 1999 ' King Of the Road ' release. So analogue, so chewy..like nugat and carmel..like a Mars bar..but with real chocolate.

               " Coyote Duster ", from ' Dardevil ' was another mind bomb, followed by their latter version of " Mongoose ", redone on their hugely popular ' California Crossing ' album from 2002. That song was originally released on Man's Ruin, back in the day, you've probably heard me play it once in a blue moon on Beyond That Graveyard lll, the original is filthy with it. They played a sick version of " Hung Out To Dry " from their ' We Must Obey ' release from 2007.

                They layed out layer after layer of sweet, warm sunshine and came back for an encore. They asked for requests, and I swear, you could have almost heard a pin drop, so, being the loud assed fucker that I am ( totally sober now, ..no foolin'), I yelled out for their classic cover of Blue Oyster Cult's hit " Godzilla "..and after a smokin' bass solo from their original bass player Brad Davis, they said they would play 2 more short ones.

                They wailed through the first song of the encore; pretty sure it was " Eatin' Dust " from another Man's Ruin release and here's the kicker of the night...they played " Godzilla ". I shit you not, Scott heard my loud ass before the encore, and fucking rolled right into a 7 minute version of it...too much; my friends were on the floor..it's like when I saw Sabbath in '83, remember..they came with Ian Gillan( Deep Purple) supporting their Born Again album: me and my buddies ( we were like 15yrs. old tops..) kept yelling " Supernaught " and low and behold, Gillan dropped the hammer hard on that one. Never wanted to here Ozzy do it after I  heard that version....I can tell you that..

                  The Fu came,  the Fu saw, and the Fu kicked our ass again....nothing more comforting than knowing exactly what to expect...and getting it..

                        ......and to think I almost missed this one...thank you H.P.L. for reminding me the day before...I owe you ...a big one.

                        Now.... all day long outdoor blowouts are not usually my thing but there's no sacrifice too large to see Iggy Pop and the Stooges...none. ( I strategicly showed up at 6:00pm).

                       These guys are in the middle of a world tour and they were smokin'. Nothing like 30 shows to bring you to your cruising speed. Iggy, Scott and Ron Ashton, Steven Makay, and Mike Watt let 'er rip so honestly (you could tell) they were lovin' every second of it. Musicians unlike sports stars..get better with age...that's just the way it is, and singers, well Iggy is Iggy and that's usually way more than enough...

                      Ron Ashton's fuzzy mantra like riffs filled the humid air over Parc Jean Drapeau like a fat assed rainbow. I thought we were going to get rained on by acid spiked skittles. I honestly think those fuckers promted a flashback, I swear, I saw Iggy leaving tracers every time he moved. I can't even to begin to list how many guitar players have geared their rigs to emulate Ron Ashtons fuzztones.

                       Scott Ashton; this guy, after all these years, not only keeps the classic Stooges beats in line with one of the hardest snaps possessed by any drummer, he's like literally a metronome. The pop of that snare alone should be enough to land this guy in the Rock 'N' Roll hall of fame.

                     These guys ripped out ' 1970 ' at twice it's regular tempo, ' Down On The Street ', ' No Fun ', ' I Wanna Be Your Dog ', ' Search and Destroy '...brutal, ' My Idea of Fun ', ' Real Good Time '. It was off the fucking hook, plain and simple; to see the original punk/stoner rockers lay down THE classics from their short, infamous, yet seriuosly messed up carreer. I could go deaf tomorrow, and it would bother me a lot less, now having seen the Stooges, you dig?

                     Mike Watt is this bands new superglue. What a monster bass player. Co-founder of the Minutemen, Firehose, reasently playing with Jay Mascis/Dinosaur Jr....this guy literally got me pluckin' my Gibson E-BO last night when I got home from the show...that inspiring... between him and Makay's spasticatedly brilliant spatterings, the sound was so complete.

                    Iggy was Iggy and nobody, but nobody can sing through a song so well, while being tossed back and forth in the crowd, like this dude...and he's..like 60..you ever see a 60 year old guy crowd surf with that kind of authority? I can easily say that I haven't...and I've ...seen ......some shit in my day, I'll tell you that.  He wasted no time in jumping Watt's stacks and humping the shit out of them, classic, never get's old, you'd think it would.... he was so into it, taunting and strutting around, talking to the crowd, not at them- is an Iggy treat, like scooby snacks..but better.

                     We took a multitude of trips to the Little Penguin wine tent and got sloppy with the shiraz, before and after Sharon Jones and the Dap band. What a wailing performance by Sharon Jones. She rocked the SHIT out of that crowd, best energy of a female performance I've ever witnessed...and what a tight assed horn section, the likes of which I've not seen since Maceo Parker and his crew got down. So we were well lubed for the Stooges.

                      High point of the evening; sharing a doobie with a hottie that I've never seen before during Search and Destroy.( another horrible penless moment!). I lost my posse goin' in to the crowd, found them at the wine tent after, a real personal moment with the Stooges, untainted by useless banter...a golden moment. Oh, yeah, the crowd...a mix of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation Stooges fans, were all totally on the same page from the book of AAAhhhh, holy fuckin' crap it's Iggy and the Stooges.       

                          Tonight, I have for you the incomperable, insightful and always irripressable host of such legendary shows as The Beer O'Clock Show and Roots of Rebellion; ladies and gentlmen, I give unto you...Thibealt Duchene.

                          The # to call in as always is 514-848-7471.

                   Really short today; tune in to BTG3 this week for some juicy stuff.

                   I've got the new Cortez.  It's called ' Thunder In A Forgotten Town '.This stoner-rock doom band hails from Boston although they are actually formed out of 2 bands; the singer, bassist, guitarist and drummer are from Sin City Chainsaw, and the 2nd guit. player is from Super Soul Challenger. I've got their latest ep. It's stacked with raw riffs and tons of wah.

                    I'm also gonna play for your listening pleasure of coarse, the brand spankin' new Totimoshi cd ' Milagrosa '. It's freaky, can't pin it to one specific genre, a really wild one for the new release part of the show.

                  Also, I didn't get to that southern rock set last week, so I'll try and fit that in this week for sure. With a little Polecat Boogie Revival.

                  Call in at 514-848-7471 for requests. A what's up to Alex and Shawn,  hold up dudes, Unreal Tournament 3 for 4 anyone? What's up to Dr. D -a new listener and old friend who's for sure a new regular listener, there'll be somethin' in the mix for you a soir hostie. Check into BTG3 tonight my Ottaweird fans, you won't be disappointed.

                       O.k., I'm going to be rollin' the musical dice a little south of the border and then some. Got some Datura that I couldn't get to last Fri. night and a mess of country fried mayhem. I'm also going to give away 5 free passes to the Steve Jones and the Legendary Ernies show that's happening at the Saphire club at 3699 St. Laurent Blvd. this Saturday night.

                       I've got the brand new album ' Death Ride ' from one of my favorite Texas bands, Blood of the Sun. This is their 3rd album in..like.... more than 10yrs..well worth the wait, I can't even begin to describe to you how far this band has come. This just came out ...so you guys are so getting spoiled with new releases right here at BTG3...as always. 

                       This latest effort also features their new member, get this, Derek St. Holmes. The dude from the Ted Nugent Band( of the '70's )...what a mind fuck that is...you know this guit. player; he plays guit. in the song " Stranglehold ",  that guy. He is a freak of nature on guitar and adds some well needed oxygen to the fire that burns as Blood of the Sun. The keyboards alone on this album elevate these guys to like Deep Purple good, the Band good...

                      I'm going to play some hilarious Polecat Boogie Revival, it's so bloody stupid that it's La Vache Qui Rie funny hostie. That'll keep the southern fire alight for another few songs.

                      My blast from the recent past will come in the form of Space Probe Taurus...with a name like that...you have to be really, really.....really good, and these dudes really, really....really are.

                      Call me at 514-848-7471 to win some concert passes and I'll try, really, really.....really try to be nice.

                   Alrighty tighty; this show will feature the awsome Black Cobra vinyl ' Feather and Stone '. If you like High On Fire then you'll appreciate this drum /guitar duo. The guitar player has a very distinct sound, hovers right around Matt Pike's toneality, but sounds like he has to get it out a little more urgently....panic/metal is a good way to describe it...you'll all fall in love with it I'm sure.

                I'm going to premiering the new Colour Haze album ' All ' for the new release part of the show. It's meaty, real chewy, like 5 Hubba Bubbas at once, only steak flavored. You're all going to bow your lonley heads in respect and admiration when this ones over.

                  Also on deck will be a cool blast from '97; with their recently re-released  piece of plastic ' All is One ',  Datura lays it down pretty thick with the sludge....but it ain't slow... dat's fo sho. These New Zealand metalers lay it down hard and they sure sound like they mean it. Sounds like they would have been a no-brainer for the Man's Ruin label back then when that kind of music didn't blow donkey dick like it does now ....in abundance.

                  A total blast from the Beyond That Graveyard past will be in as a guest DJ a soir chalise, the one and only John ' Dr. Death ' Lozano. We grew up listening to the heaviest of metal and the most brutal punk back in the '70's and '80's, and both had college radio shows, him at Abbott and me at Dawson/Concordia. Both of us were in brutal bands.. Rabid, Jack Boot & the Oppressors...Legends of Debauchery would be putting lightly, you're all in for some hard core stories and music the likes of which only a few of you have seen and/or dreamt of. There might even be a visit from local metal celebrity Ed Shahini.....

                   Shout out to my listeners in Portland, Maine. I  can't wait to go longboarding with y'all in August...I'm already dreaming of those long assed breaks. Now ...where the hell did I leave my wetsuit at? Call in at 514-848-7471 and we'll talk politics...yeah...politics.

                   Riiight: this weeks show will be full of juicy new tunes from the likes of The Freek's, Dead Man, and Blowback.

                   The Freek's is a wicked conglomeration of styles from a veritable cornucopia of musicians. You could definately call these guys a super-group. Featuring Scott Reeder( Kyuss, Obsessed, Unida), Rueben Romano( Nebula, Fu Manchu), Bernie Worell( Parliament-Funkadelic), Lorenzo Woodrose( Baby Woodrose)..it's downright feakish. You.... will.... love it.

                   The brand new Dead Man release " Euphoria ", it's way chill, insane snippets that seemed to have been sliced right off of a '70's multigrain of some sort. Real image driven shit.

                    Last but not least, I've got a copy of the awsome Blowback album " Morning Wood ". These guys put on a very serious show, and we're lucky enough to have a few live tracks on this very album.

                   A big ' Hello and Thank's For Listening', to all of my peeps in Ontario, Iowa, Texas, Cali and y'all in England and Germany, and my new Scandinavian listeners you know it's all worth while to me when I here from you guys...and all of my local fans from here in Mtl., I know I never thank you guys enough! Call in at 514-848-7471 and I'll see if I can throw something on for you.

                        O.K., it's official, all the good ones are droppin' like flys. May he reach the other side with a fine scotch in one hand and a $2500.00 hooker in the other.

                       What do Dennis Miller, Lewis Black, Denis Leary, Steven Hicks(r.i.p.)and 5000 other comedians have in common? They wouldn't have an act if they hadn't seen Carlin when they were cuttin' their teeth in the trade.

                      I'm greivin......listen to the show.... it'll be great...with this ...and that... or fuck off: it makes no difference to me.  514-848-7471 is the # to call if you desire heavy verbal abuse, with a possible death promise.

                     O.K., here's the scene: I just re-installed my monster Alpine MP3 system into my new car. I'm thinking; what would sound absolutely retarded, now that I have my kick ass system in the new vehicle. How about the 1999 Tee Pee Records release from N.Y.C.'s Chrome Locust. Nothing sounds as good as when it's comin' through 6 speakers and a 600 watt power amp...in a small car...sweet Mama Luccia.

                      I haven't reached for that one since my Beyond That Graveyard ll days; spring of '99 in fact. So...... to show some respect to both the band and my minions ( new and old guard; ' Gravies ' as you sometimes call yourselves..), I will be playing the shit out of their eponymous album. It's too... god.... damn ....heavy. Think Black Sabbath meets MC5... played by some of the originators of Hard Core: it's that sick/simple.

                     Featuring Todd Youth -ex Agnostic Front, Murphy's Law, D Generation, Mikey Wildwood-ex D Generation, and Jim Heneghan-ex Vasquez. These guys ripped a fucking whole in time and space with this little mastermess. Many a famous musician have tried to emulate, duplicate, postulate but fail and just simply masturbate, when hopeing to tap into that kind of energy. Nobody, and I do mean N O B O D Y  plays like Todd Youth...fuckin' nobody. 

                     I'll be throwin' down ' Ain't No Love ', ' Drop ', ' Love Rap ', ' Teen Dreem ', ' Formula ', and ' M.I.A. '. These guys have influenced so many that it's almost pointless...but, like...Sheavy, Queens of the Stone Age, Velvet Revolver, S.T.P....Gluecifer...you get the picture. They've played shows with Q.O.T.S.A., Mudhoney, Bad Brains, Sixty Watt Shaman, Hellacopters,Raging Slab. If that's not an eclectic bunch...

                      Love it, 'cause it's happening. If you like it, you can still find copies of this cd at http://www.stonerrock.com/ . You'll also be privey to a whole lotta good 'old B.T.G.ll mainstaples . I have just got my hands on the gorgeous new lolly pop vinyl gatefold from Solace, the album Further. It's zuppa heav. # to call as always is 514-848-7471.

                      Got some wicked L.A. hardcore comin' your way this Fri. 6th 2008. They're called It's Casual, but there really isn't anything casual about them, I have a nice limited edition swirly lollipop vinyl of their re-released 2002 effort-Buicregl that is loaded and ready to go for y'all.

                       Also, some of T.O.'s finest with Mopa Dean's-ex Armed & Hammered- band The G-Men and their filthy Up The Dose cd. Put it this way, there's a G.G. Allin cover...yikes.

                       I'm glad you liked the last show 2 weeks ago. I featured the first 2 sides of the brand new Brant Bjork release Punk Rock Guilt, I will be playing sides 3 and 4 this week as well, (cause you guys loved it so much).

                       It'll be a pretty hardcore/punk show in general. Some Gen. Con., Adrenaline O.D., Suicidal Tendancies, Blood Sausage, and a whole lot of Canadian punk/core. Let's see if I can play 60 songs in 3 hrs......Feel free to call the booth at 514-848-7471.

                 Gotta love express mail, son. This week I have the awsome new Brant Bjork vinyl, it's freakin' wicked. The gatefold sleeve opens to a '70's style photo of Bjork wailing away. It's too much. ' Punk Rock Guilt ' is super solid, analogue to the max, dripping slow honey from the jar of heavy. If analogue was an ice-cream flavor it would be called Brant Bjork.

                 I also have some cool Reino Ermitano and their album ' Brujas Del Mar '. It's some seriously textured South American mountain doom complete with leathered drums, and ghetto wooden flutes...creepy yet comfortable.

                 Tune in or be hunted down like a dirty, filthy, ugly, smelly, maingy, rabid wilderbeast. I will leave your severed head upon a bloody spike on your parents front lawn. It won't get better from there either, I assure you. Call in if you dare at 514-848-7471.

                    This week you will be witness to a few gems like the latest Farflung cd; " A Wound In Eternity ". It's a madhouse...a madhouse. A juicey morsel from a band called Rainbows Are Free, and a few tunes from their debut ep. It's doomy...in an optimistic way, if that makes any sense whatsoever. This ep doesn't but I'll play the good ones.

                    Some awsome Gorilla from the " Gimme Some " release, some Stonewall Noise Orchestra, and the 2nd wicked release from one of my 'ol mainstays Floating Goat...it's shorter but no sweeter than what you'd expect; " The Vultures Arrive  " is tight as shit and happy to be angry..heart warming.

                   If we're lucky, South-Side Robbie will grace us with his awsome tastes and selections this very Friday the 9th of May. Don't forget my minions, Sunday is Mother's Day. What... you think I'm fucking joking? The # as always is 514-848-7471.

                      Yeah....not much to say accept...you're in some deep metal up your ass trouble. Nobody loves you and you will celebrate this fact with an unholy wardance: filled with hatred, destruction and the odd alimony payment...what?

                      You will feast on angst, the fear of failing and the fact that we'll be filling our gas tanks to the tune of $100.00 every time we need to go somewhere other than the corner store.

                      What ain't pretty will fill the hours of your discontent. Fear and loathing are a mere appetizer to what will be perpetrated this fine Friday the 2nd of May. The # as always is 514-848-7471. Use it or have it hung, drawn and quartered.

                        Got the brand new Earth album- " The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull ". It is pretty f#*king spot on. No..really..it's wicked. I'm going to spin the shit out of that album, just so that y'all know this coming into the show on Friday. As long as we're clear. Earth keep getting better and better. A rare thing these days.

                          One of my many partners in crime here behind the scenes at Beyond That Graveyard Pt.lll is my friend Chris Barnes..( Hellride Music ), all the way from Redondo Beach California. This guy is always lookin' out for me/you guys; let me tell ya. This time he's sent me 2 fantabulous pre-releases. One is a limited edition preview of upcoming Fuzztones lp -" Fuzz For Zombies ". It's brain scoopingly delicious. I'll be playing the songs " Idol Chatter " and " A Wristwatch Band  ".

                          Chris also sent me the full length cd from Farmakon-' Robin " for all of my metal minions. To be officially released on April 29 2008, it's their best material to date, and they've been around for what...8 years now? They still look like they're 18yrs. old.. it's high-larious. Seriously though, that drummer of theirs...he's silly in a Neil Pert kind of way, actually, more like that beast in Mastodon. I'll be playing " Recondite ", " Sixty-Nine " and " A Temporary Death ". Don't you guys feel lucky? Thanks Chris..you R U L E .

                        Also on deck will be the awsome German band UGH....from our friends over at Electrohasch Records...god bless 'em. Weird doom-kraut-stoner...very interesting indeedy. I think I'll drop one of my favorite eps from last year- The Goddamned's " Head First " release....it's a quick and brutal lesson in syncopation. Love it...I do.

                        Remember, the # to call me at CJLO is 514-848-7471. Hello to all y'all down in Texas, I didn't forget you Tinkey Winky, and to Wes Stejeck in West Vagina...I mean Virginia. Sean and Alex in Iowa..you're in deep when you come to visit this July. To my sister Stephanie in Ottawa, call and ask for Nina Hagen...ask me!

                        I've got the new Witch album. It's my favorite one to date,; I have to say, the first one did nothing for me......but this one? Shheeeit. It's called Paralyzed and it's just bursting out of it's seams on every track. Down and dirty, much more cohesive within it's songs. They still have that frenetic, heavy sixties tempo, but not as sugary sounding, you know what I mean?

                         O.K., a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and some cool sounding Pretty Faces from their freak of a 45rpm featuring their unforgetable power ballad ' Strap Your Body With Explosives and Position Yourself Next to a Major World Leader '. Some cool older Fireball Ministry. A couple of tracks from each of their two earlier albums, ' FMEP ' and ' The Second Great Awakening '. Some Fistula for those bruisers out there listening..waiting for me to come out and play. Sorry, got the show tonight.

                        The # to call is always 514-848-7471. Love it.

              To say that this performance was off the hook, would be like saying...war is a bummer. I honestly don't even know how to approach this review. I'm so glad it went down at the Sala Rossa last night; the 27th of March'08. Pretty much one of my all time favorite venues. Built for sound by the Jewish Workers Union in the '30's as a conference/social hall, it was taken over by a Spanish community group in the '70's. This hall was specifically designed for musical performances. So no matter what the style of music, it will sound good...even great.

               There is no regular way that I can approach this as a concert review in the classic sense. This band is an enigma for lack of a better word. A constantly touring,( this month...19 shows in a f**king row!! ) never ending avalanche( tornado, earthquake, tsunami ) of psychedelic/percussive/wailing /brain melting/vocally tribal outbursts, that trancends many a label. I've got like 5 of their albums; of which 85% are almost completely unlistenable. THIS IS A LIVE BAND, I cannot stress this enough.

                 The center of this " universe " called Acid Mothers Temple and the Melting Paraiso U.F.O. is guitarist( speed guru ) Kawabata Makoto. A Japanese guitar vertuoso with as many releases as Frank Zappa....and released in only half the amount of time, I might add! A visionary of sorts, this guy must have had/is having a hard time blazing his trail in the strict, musically formal society that is his Japan. This band, a tighter, more steamlined / abreviated version of the Temple that roled through Mtl. the last time; were as tight as it gets. Lucky to finally play here after consecutive cancellations; border issues are always a major problem for this band, and there are usually 2 or 3 other members involved, but in no way, shape or form were they missed. It just doesn't work that way with their ever flowing dynamic. It's so Japanese in spirit and intensity..playful, yet serious, I would even say spiritual. I never use that adjective but there's a first for everything I guess.

               Just when you think that all of this thick,( I'm not talking thick like molasses, I'm talking thick like..tar ) gooey madness is being played off the cuff, you realise it's all just another well thought out tune. I've seen no one ever accomplish this as these guys can...ever. Speaking to the drummer at the merch counter during an extended wait after the first band Danava blew the last of a bunch of guitar amps during this very tour, I knew I was in for a treat.

               Shimura Koji ( drums, latino cool ) looks like that old guy you see in a Chinatown/Mexican restaurant; like he's there to check up on his investment, you know the serious type that looks like he's never, ever cracked as much as a smirk. This old dude busticated his kit like it was begging for it. Flowing like Billy Cobham, with direct blows of thunderous fortitude, you'd never imagine these beats coming from this little old man.

               Tsuyama Atsushi; ( monster bass, cosmic joker ) is by far one of the most mechanicaly incline bass players I have ever witnessed. This guy is like a freaking robot. Each note fretted like it was his last, uncompareable to most anyone, this guy also sang most of the songs and brought the humor to the performance. Playing with the few french words he knew, he broke into what sounded like an old " Voyageur " shanty, in a whirlwind of psychedelic rain. Nothing like seeing a Japanese guy smart the french! This guy was busting loose with what sounded like classic Inuit throat chanting...except he was doing it by himself. What a trip.

                  On keyboards/moog/telecaster was the most freaked out looking Japanese guy I have ever seen...ever. Higashi Hiroshi ( keys, guit, dancing king ) brought the psychedelic element to the table like he went into the forest for a week before shooting it. He hung that style from a hook and aged it before he cooked it up. To say that this guy has confidence in his performance, well, let's just say he's like the Castro of cosmic. The tones that this guy was bending, you'd think that you were literally on acid..for those of you who've never done a bad assed bitter blotter, I can't help you here. Just go see them, it's the only way you'll understand..(or not).

                 All of these essential four elements were melting into a rising comet of flexing notes and tones, who's colours flooded the Sala Rossa with ideas; like musical hope- a rare feeling at that. A promise of new ground breaking music. Their latest double album was just released last month. " Recurring Dream and Apocalypse of Darkness " is just that. These guys are psychedelic but not only in the classical sense; but in a new, more pro-active form. Dude, it was highly organic dude...and for these older guys to keep this up with the intensity that they did; for 2 hours.... is f**ked up. Did I mention that the place was almost sold out...on a weeknight?

                Danava were like a cross between Sabbath and Rush. Musically wicked but the singing had that " I know I can't sing, and that's why I am " thing going on. A purposely dead vocal performance, kind of weird and disconcerting. Very avant guard you could say.

                If they ever make it back, I implore you to check them out. It is something that you will not only never forget, but probably something that you  will never see anywhere else.  A performance that was perpetrated with style, mayham and musical honesty; to the likes of which I have rarely seen.

                Got a great show lined up for this Friday the 29,'08. I have the new Graveyard in and it's wicked, kind of like their fellow countrymen Witchcraft but more '60's sounding. Every song on the album is excellent in it's own right.

                 Also on deck is the Black Gasoline and a few cuts from their last album" She Gave Us Magic ", Federale and their cosmic -stoner epics; these guys from Jersey have that down, I tells ya.

                  The other new release that I will be featureing is the ULTRA-SHIT-KICKER, mondo-destructo A Thousand Knives of Fire album called " The Last Train to Scornsville ". It' is brutal. Tune in, you won't regret it!

                   Thanks for all of the feedback for last weeks show, it blows my mind, everytime, I realise someone was listening. The # to call is 514-848-7471, use it or ...well...you know...

                  Yup, the mails been coming in pretty regularly, for a nice change! As promised last week, this week is going to be S M O K I N'. I've got the new Thunder Express ( about 3 months late but you know what they say..." where the f**k is my mothahf**kin' music at bitch " or ..no...wait.." better late than never " ?

                 I'm going to play Robert Dahlqvist's ( ex Hellacopters ) new band Thunder Express from their latest release " Republic Disgrace ". It's a rock 'n' roll treat, has that super-rock vibe of the Hellacopters " By The Grace Of God " release but less camp/cheese and more sing along with it cause you know the words kind of thing..what?

                Also on deck will be some downright wicked Medicine Ball Caravan from their " Crossing the Seas, Spreading the Sins " album. These dirty, filthy, unwashed frenchmen( and woman ), from France, kick it real filthy like. Kind of like Raging Slab..with an accent. Also some very evil sounding Mustasch, another kick-ass band from Sweden and I'll be playing a couple from their " Latest Version of the Truth " release. They sound like across between Sword, Dio, Kiss, and Ratt...now I know that sounds strange to say the least but it's what it is and it kicks hard..you'll see.

                   Again, as usual, the # to reach me at the station is 514-848-7471. There's a big chance that I'll be broadcasting from the studio this week, so in fact, there will be no phone in option this week, sorry.

                           It is with a heavy heart that I bring you the news of Buddy Miles' passing through to the other side. George "Buddy" Miles was born in Omaha Nebraska in 1947, this virtuoso drummer was the prodigal son of a bass legend who played with the likes of Duke Ellington and Count Basie.

                           Cutting his teeth in bands like The Ink Spots, The Delfonics, and the unbelievable Electric Flag, he was a pioneer in the fusion of psycedelic, jazz and blues. I'm bummin'. He showed up as the guest drummer on Jimi Hendrix's ground breaking Electric Ladyland in the song " Rainy Day " and a few others. What happened next in his life was f**kin' magical.

                            Hendrix assembled The Band of Gypsys. Himself, Buddy Miles and Billy Cox. The rest is history..and the future for that matter. Their live album at the Filmore East is brutal..and the Band of Gypsys album? Seriously one of the most important albums of any kind in the last 100 years.

                             Miles worked with Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, Funkadelic, Carlos Santana...the list is just too huge to get into. To play the drums so distinctively and to be able to sing like he did over it is mind boggeling. I'll miss his freestylin' funkified filth for the rest of my natural life.

                             I'll be dedicating a full hour of my next show, Friday the 21st of March '08 to this great drummer by playing part of the Filmore East show from '70 and the whole second side of his live show w/Carlos Santana in that dead Hawaiian volcano. 62 is pretty young, even for a guy his size. What a drag,  man.

                       Have to postpone BTG3 this week..'till next week; when I'll have some juicy tunes that'll hopefully have come in next weeks mail....well...if they come, you know the drill...with the hellfire and the sacrifices and such....

                        I'll be spinning some awsome Thunder Express from their " Republic Disgrace " release, some Mustasch from their album called " Latest Version of the Truth ", maybe something from Floodstain'swicked " Dreams Make Monsters " release and if you're lucky some sweet tunes from the Medicine Ball Caravan album " Crossing the Seas, Spreading the Sins ".

                         On a sad note: Buddy Miles passed on through to the other side on Feb.27th 2008. This is f**king tragic. I'm going to play a whole side of 2 of my favorite albums of his; Live w/Carlos Santana and of course The Band of Gypsys live at the Filmore East. Do I have time for an obit.?

                        The # to call is still 514-848-7471. Thanks to my friends South Side Robbie and D.J.Mc Andrews for the mid-show hijacking last week, what a hoot. Happy Birthday to Stephanie and Wendy out in Ottaweird..ya'll rock it now ya heeahh!

                   O.k., here's the deal. I'm going to tell you a little story right off the bat to make the rest of this review make more sense.

            More than a few years ago, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss got together for a tour called " The Bad Boys of Kiss ", and subsequently rolled on through Montreal....to the Metropolis. I bought a ticket without hesitation, as did 2 of my buddies that had been huge Kiss fans all of their lives too.....thic 'n' thin, that's the way it goes.

            Criss played a full set of the most mind stabbingly bad tunes I've almost ever witnessed since his first solo album. The 400 or so fans had pretty much dwindled down to about 150 by the time Ace Hit the stage...with his apparently loosely thrown together band. The volume at which the show started at had, by the end of the first song; driven all but yours truley and his 2 buddies ( Lud, and good 'ol Billy Danjubic respectively ) running for the back of the club. We momentarily escaped the utter onslaught to our auditory systems ( fully in red alert by this time and I have seen some L O U D assesd shows in my day boy ), to the mens room and collectively used like 4 rolls of toilet paper between us to stuff our ears shut. Did I mention how butt-fugly their tour shirt was...man I'll never get that image outta my head but the goose bumps will fade in a sec...

            We then sauntered back to the front of the stage; there's only the three of us now...nobody else around for 100 sq. feet, and we're asked personally by Ace if he was loud enough, to which we responded...and I quote.." No Ace..turn it up! " . At this point, he turned around to his already almost maxed out rig and turned the f**ker up. This is when, I would say 90% of the club literally up and left. The band was that bad. Cocain is ugly after 30yrs. of abuse. There were like 12 people in the place including the bar staff by the time it was over. We rocked it hard and went home a little dead inside.

             So..back to present times.. last night, March 3rd, 2008 at the Metropolis, more than 10 years later..full circled, I get out of a cab and I'm wondering to myself, is Ace going to burn out..or fade away or what. The wonderful Miss Caroline had a juicy pass waiting for me at the guest booth ....thanks Ant, you rock , and I walk in a little apprehensive of how this show might go down. I get a Heine and low and behold, there's Lud. Like old times..all good. We get to our spot, and Ace Hits the stage.

              By the 2nd note, I'm looking at Lud and there is an equal look of complete relief, 4 notes later it's a look of pure joy as this god damned rock legend literally got his shit together, hand picked 3 other guys who f**king live his music and ripped the shit out of " Rip It Out ". I always loved hearing 2 Les Pauls at once..it's something. They were bloody loud, but just under the annoying mark. From the same first solo album he then played " Snow Blind " and a cool little medley of " Torpedo Girl " ( from the Kiss ' Unmasked ' album )and from his classic solo album, the song " Speedin' Back To My Baby ". I could have easily sat through a full version of the latter( the only disapointing thing that evening), I freakin' love that song.

              I never liked his later solo albums; they were musically weak...but would you beleive he revised a bunch of those tunes...and they were s o l i d. " Rock Soldiers "," Trouble Walking" ( a song that needs no explanation....whatsoever ), all spruced right the hell up. His solos were note for note and his tones..oh his tones were back like the old days." Shock Me " was sick. Shock you?...shock me! I've seen Kiss with Ace Frehley 5 times, 3 back in the day, and 2 during the Kiss comeback tour. In what, like '96? He was on the money tonight. Did I mention how utterly speechless we were?

             From the 4th side of Kiss Alive ll, he wailed on " Rocket Ride ", another ingenious little medley of some of his '90's tunes and " Love Gun ". Very crafty and well arranged, this band was kickin' the shit out of the venue and everyone in it( about 400 or so ). He then pulled out one of his many customs and lit the stage and his giutar up( literally) for his N.Y.C. anthem " Back in the New York Groove " and the place went a little nuts. The New York Attitude was oozing out all over the place. Someone threw up a top hat during one of the songs and in true New Yorkese, he says "... I know Slash purrsonally, I just can't fuckin' weh that thing."

               Left the stage, only to return with a full Kiss encore set. I felt like a kid in a freakin' candy store. The sweet, sweet sound of " Deuce " rang out like the anthem of an era. '74 New York sleeze'n'roll. The drummer sang the Stanley parts, the bassist sang the Simmons parts to a tee, it was eerie. Kiss was playin' Daisey's and the Coventry and other nasty Jersey /Queens/Amity clubs while down town at Max's Kansas City, The Mercer Arts Center; the Dolls were lovin' over themselves struttin' around, waiting to crash the Kiss party after their show. Frehley along with, Thunders, Ivan Kral( Patti Smith Group ), Lou Reed,Johnny Ramone and a few choice New York guitarists of that time really carved a sleezy, sultry, standoffish, ( nihilistic ) niche in one of their city's trademark sounds/styles.

              When he kicked into " Love Her All I Can ", from Kiss's 2nd release ' Dressed To Kill ', I freakin' couldn't believe I could remember all of the lyrics. I would have wept if I wasn't such a hard c**t. Ended it all with the awsome " Cold Gin " with a craftily placed outro to " Black Diamond ". F**king classy all the way down the line. What can I say, I was absolutely as shocked as I was relieved.

             That sick, filthy, raunchy, (sh)city honky-punk always fit neatly under my skin...I don't know what it is; but I just got a major fix of it and all I want to do is nod off with the songs swimming in my head.....which brings the answer to my earlier question.... will Ace burn out, fade away, or what..well: it's or what, if ' or what ' means like a true legend, he will simply rock on.

                    I have to say that when I got my tickets to this show I was all like...this should be a mellow one, considering their style; didn't expect there to even be a lot of people.

                     Well...there were. In fact the place was sold right the hell out. I'm so not into a super packed atmosphere...but these guys throw down a really mellow vibe. Pretty subdued crowd..a new pattern/disease of todays youth I guess...!

                   Cutting a slice of life from Montreal early in there North American tour, British Columbia's Black Mountain set their gear up quickly after the opening bands. Got right down to buisness they did. Playing the first 3 songs from their latest album " In The Future ".  " Stormy High ", " Angels ", followed by "  Tyrants ", as well as " Wucan " , " Queens Will Play ", and " Bright LIghts ". These guys have their work cut out for them: I checked out their tour schedual and these freaks are playing like 13 shows in a row at one point. Gotta like the work ethic!

                   I finally caved and bought their latest album last month. You've probably heard me play it these last 3 weeks or so on BTG3. I have to say, these guys/girl bring a tight little package of juicy little nuggets of style that time is not so much forgetting...but avoiding. It's nice to see a bunch of kids groovin' on songs who's moods are inspired by the likes of Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd...and I mean this in a good way; 'cause we've got enough of the straight up rip-off bands out there...snap!. They're not particularily derivative, but have a real knack for throwing down similar vibes.

                Take the first song off their new album and set last night; " Stormy High " sounded like a Fu Manchu song, " Angels " could have been a Neil Young song; it had that chillin' on the porch kind of vibe you know? " Queens Will Play " has this eerie Pink Floyd " Umma Gumma " - Jean Michel Jarre quality to it.

                 " Evil Ways ", heavy with the keyboards,( with the coolest guitar solo of the night), had a  Deep Purple thing going on, predominantly because the guy on keys has his rig sounding like it's going through classic Leslie speakers.. you know the ones that have the spinning cones at the bottom...same as their song " Bright Lights " which also has a very Zeppelinesque stomp to it, ( all from their latest release " In The Future ").

                  They got into their less recent repertoire later on in the evening, playing a few from their s/t release from 2005.  A couple of rockers, and the end of the night brought on their 2004 effort- " Druganaut ". Like I said...a mellow vibe, nothing to get too excited about, but a tight set that tweeked your musical feelers in a " I'll take 'Songs That Sound Like Other Songs" for $400 Alex " , kind of way.

                  Bon Iver, well.......let's just say that when me and my mates walked in at the end of their set, they were sitting down..presumably for the duration of their set...and any band that has to sit down to get their groove on well.....that says it all about this " band ".

                   O.k., taking this Friday the 29th of Feb. off. Hey, it's a leep year, I can make it up, right Steph? Next week, however..on the 7th of Feb.'08, you will get the treats you deserve after not getting your regular dose of the K-man.

                   I have the cool Dozer/Brain Police split, ( very yummy ) as well as the first " official " Witchcraft release. Ah yes, BTG3 will be swimming with scandinavian treats. I'll probably pull out some of that brand spankin' Black Mountain I premiered on my show 2 weeks ago called ' In The Future '. Don't forget, they're playing tonight at The Sala Rossa. Be there or not, I'm sure it's going to kick a leopard's ass. ( R.I.P. Wesley Willis ).

                   So join me next week right here at cjlo.com and don't forget, the # to call as usual, is 514-848-7471.

                Well, just got back from my annual dvd burning party at John and Bobby's pad. Those worth mentioning; a vintage James Brown concert featuring Bootsy Collins on bass, a wicked Plasmatics documentary with the hottest/biggest collection of live songs from the late great Wendy O.Williams. The piece de resistance: a region 2 version of a Screamin' Jay Hawkins documentary..it is so off the hook.. that it's.. R I D I C U L O U S. Atleast it seemed that way last night, those guys get me so wrecked whenever I drop by, it's scandalous.

                 More importantly, the boys from The Feztones/The Gruesomes have honoured my show..Beyond That Graveyard 3, once again with an advanced copy of their up and coming Fuad and the Feztones cd; their most debaucherous effort to date. Are you ready for this? I have, in my hands ..their brand new album " Beeramid ". It will be featured during BTG3 on Friday the 22nd of Febuary 2008. It's freakin' high-larious. It has the best cover artwork that I've seen in years. You should check it out on their Fuad and the Feztones myspace site.

                     Featured songs I'll be playing from ' Beeramid '; '  Djibouti Call ',' Beeramid ', 'Cairo Twist " and the ' Boogaloser ". I can't wait to play you my personal favorite ' Allah Mode '. What do these guys sound like? If you haven't heard or seen these guys live by now...well... it's like weird frat monster-beat.

                      Fuad and the Feztones will have a cd launch this spring, possibly before John Davis and Bobby Beaton's Gruesomes cd re-release/show where they will re-release their legendary ' Tyrants of Teen Trash ' album. I'll try and get these guys in for a quick interview before that one, scheduals permitting!

                     Don't forget, the # to call here at the station is 514-848-7471. You guys are gonna laugh it up on this one for shizzle!

              All right you sorry sacks of dog crap, even though you totally don't deserve it, I'm gonna bring in the hired guns this next Fri. the 15th 2008. I'm talkin' about bringing my sometimes co-host(hort) DJ Robin or as some call him South-Side Robbie, with a possible appearance of LL Von Morrison.If The Vonster actually shows up you guys are in so freakin' deep, even I, can hardly imagine.

              We're going to play atleast an hour, if not 2; of the dirtiest, saddest, most disturbing country tunes this side of Dixie. I ain't gonna lie to you , it'll be brutal and will definately go down a lot easier if your on the brown liquor! Hank Williams, Hank Jr., Hank the 3rd, Waylon Jennings, Shooter Jennings, The Cashes and Marty Robbins, you can see the patern I'm sure.

               Along side those tasty morsels, I'll be throwing down some cool-assed tunes; from stoner rock to screeched to a halt and out the winsheild at 60mph Sepultura (vintage, not the later, watered down crack tunes). Some awsome Valiant Thorrand Superheavygoatass.Weather you tune in for the line danceing or the murderfest, it's all copascetic. People will get hurt and offended, and that's exactly how it's going down. The # to call as always is514-848-7471.

             There will be a few awsome surprises..one of them ..possibly being the brand new Black Mountain cd...who are by the by playing here in Mtl. on the 29th of this very month. It's R E T A R D E D good. A big ' What the hell is up? ' to Queen Jestah in Nova Scotia...don't slip!

                 Well, how'd you like the full onslaught that was January? I did a reggae show, a country show, a tribute, and a covers show. I'm glad y'all liked the covers show..that's pretty much the most positive feedback I've gotten in like the hole year of 2007 and I only had to find about 30 mostly recent covers of specifically '70's songs. I'd be lying if I said I winged that one.

                 Next Friday the 8th of Febuary 2008, will be an everything show, including a small feature on the latest Witchcraft album "The Alchemist ". I will also be bringing in some Hypnosis 69 which is zupah zweet. I got some positive feedback on the Hotel City Wrecking Traders, so I'm bringin' that along as well for the 3 hour tour that is Beyond That Graveyard 3.

                   Don't forget, 514-848-7471 is the # you can reach me at during the show. Biggup to my crew in Maryland you dirty, dirty dogs of war.

          Alright people, I'm laying out a thick '70's vibe; thick like '50's vinyl. I will do so by playing recent covers from many of your/my favorite current bands to cradle this vibe.

           You'll be hearing from bands like Black Nasa, The Brought Low, Amplified Heat, Honky, Nova Driver, Sasquatch, Throttlerod, The Gasspack, Disengage, as well as Lowrider, Orange Goblin, Dozer, Scott Reeder, Suplecs, as well as some good 'ol Beyond That Graveyard lll  mayham you have come to love. The # to reach the station is 514-848-7471.

            Dozer's version of Devo's  " Mongoloid " is reason enough for y'all to listen this next Friday the 25th '08.

            Hey guys, this Friday's show will be a tribute to an old friend of mine that passed on to the greater regions of the cosmos about 2 years ago this month. There will be plenty of metal, hardcore, and old school punk, along with a few classic '60's-'70's era stoner-rock tunes.

              The late Louis Caron was a great friend to me and many others back in the days of L'Etoile, The Rising Sun and The Black Light; all pre Fou Founes show bars, speedmetal /punk / reggae /hardcore haunts that yours truley would frequent back in the debaucherous '80's. His influence in music and life in general is ingrained in many of the people that were fortunate enough to know him. His spirit truley lives on and you'll all be witness to the wonderful and debaucherous tunes that we used to trip on.

                 Give me a call for the odd request at 514-848-7471. Music will flow with the likes of Discharge, C.O.C., Cro-Mags, Dayglow Abortions, S.C.U.M., Genetic Control, Agnostic Front, The Accused, Charged G.B.H, to The Dead Kennedys, Misfits, The Damned, The Cramps, to My Dog Popper, D.B.C., Oblivion...I think you get the picture.

            AAhhh. My evil minions await great things this year and will not be disapointed...for Satan leaves you no choice! You will grovel on bended knee to witness the complete and total mastification of your audio experience. You will love it and become one with Steven Harper...I mean... Satan....sorry, a common mistake.

              This fine evening you will witness the great new Electric Wizard from their latest offering " Witchcult Today ". This is not for the faint of heart. Few of you lonely Marys are worthy of this Satanic Mass. I do expect some of you to perish in the onslaught so hold on to something that's anchored to your floor.

               Also on deck will be the awsome 2007 split release from Sword/Witchcraft. Yes, Behalzibob is pulling out his " lollipop vinyl ", the ride will paint your Karma accordingly. Also on deck, from 18 Speed Tranny records the slightly less evil Anolog Machine and their new self titled release as well as Canadas' ex-Puddy members and their new band Red Elite.

                 You can beg for forgiveness at 514-848-7471 but I ain't promising redemtion. Sacrifice ...maybe. Thanks to all of my worldwide support this past year of 2007. It was a wild ride and a good one for all kinds of music. You can check out my top 10 list of '07 in the Magazine section of the CJLO website. Raise your cup of warm goats blood to an apocalyptic 2008.

               Hey people, as promised, this next Friday the 23 of Nov.'07 I'll be interviewing Steve Ludvikof The Mongrels. He's bringing along a pair of tickets and their brand new long awaited cd to be given away at some point in the interview. This all to promote their show at Club Lambi on the 24th of Nov.'07. Totally the show to see; everyone who gets a ticket gets their brand new cd " Oshawa ". Check it out at www.myspace.com/mongrelsmtl, it's freakin' wicked and well worth the wait.

                 There will be cool music afoot, especially if I can get Lud to stick around and spin some tunes of his own. He's spun himself quite a rep as a dj the last few years at Casa Del Popolo trading tunes with bandmate Andrew Dickson.

                 Also on deck..the brand spankin' new Monster Magnet release " 4-Way-Diablo". There are 4 K I L L E R songs on that album that I wasn't sure they( M.M. ) had left in 'em. Just when you thought they were done eh?

                   So prick up your ears and don't forget the # to call is 514-848-7471, the one you'll need to call if ya want some Mongrels tickets. For my peeps in Ottaweird, T.O. and the greater Mtl. area, make some time this Fri. and check out the show. You'll love the raging '70's esthetic, it will melt over you like ice cream on a flash fried waffle. SSShhhhmmaaaa.

           Alrighty then, what an awsome show comin' up this Friday the 16th '07. I've got the brand new Mongrels release " Oshawa " . A musical journey of sorts. It has been eagerly awaited by many blown away rock fans that have seen them play with the likes of Blue Cheer, Pagliaero, C'mon, and The Illuminati.

           These post '70's sun-saoked, honeysuckle dripping, love visionaries will be destroying the Club Lambi on the 24th of November '07. In a good way...and don't I have one of the first copies never to see a store shelf! " Oshawa "  is a solid testament, taking it's listeners to the very nether regions of the human auditory orgasm. 

            You will love it and will probably end up taking off your clothes before the album is even over...either that or you'll be a huge new fan : or are already a huge disapointment to your immediate and not so immediate family. There'll also be the usual award winning tonal debauchery you've come to worship. Call in at 514-848-7471 and give me your thoughts on it or even just a request, remember your opinion counts.....not!

               Well, I hope you all took my advice and went to the High On Fire show last Sat. the 12th'07. If you didn't, it could argueably be the dumbest thing you've done this year. It was definately a communion, and I woke up the next morning ( with a heavy head, pun could go either way on this one ) and threw some High On Fire Hotsauce on my homefries. Delicious, and nutricious.

                 Next week I have some cool new tunes for y'all. The new Dax Riggs release ' We Sing Of Only Blood Or Love '. Dax Riggs, you know... the Acid Bath guy, frontman for Elephantmen. It's a solid ' solo ' effort and does not sound like the afformentioned bands at all. It's like a cross between P.J. Long from Mule and like an acoustic Jay Mascis, some real country ass kickin' shizzle.  Pretty f**king yummy.

                   Also, I'll throw on some wickedly produced and performed stoner-doom from Iron Hearse;  kind of Obsessed sounding....oh yeah, is your mouth watering too? No?....well maybe I should get that checked, no...wait... you check your shit out...you ...you fff. The once super rare Floating Goat realease ' Heaven's Burning ', it's blazing stoner metal in all of it's glory and guess who's gonna be playin' that for y'all. Yours truely..and they're the one's in the picture.

                  So the phones lines are up again and you can request to your bladders desire, at 514-848-7471. If you're callin' from the states or overseas....you know who you are, just hit me on my cell, save your beans, for the love of great Odin's nudsach! See ya'll next week on the 26th of Oct, 2007. Like my pal the Kool-Aid Man says......OOOHHH YEEAAHH!!!

            No tricks....just treats. Celebrating another birthday, we opened with Jaeger and guava juice ( Guansters ) and a few neat tequilas, complements of Cazadores, my crew and I definately set ourselves  high on fire, which is no coincidence considering who we were going to see at Les Saints, this cold and wet evening.

            We arrived at the club just as Mono started and met Matt Pike standing out front, having a smoke. I told him that I was glad to see him out here and not already on stage with High On Fire. Pike urged us to check out some of the Mono, even though he wasn't. He said that being on a bus with 6 other guys for 4 weeks, and the venue being the tiny club ( more like illventilated stanky urine pit ) that it is, he needed to get some air. Game for conversation, this guy is well read and humble, even with his pending sermon featuring lessons in tones, chord construction/destruction, and lessons on commitment, grattitude, and sweet, sweet relief.

          Speaking of own, that is exactly what High On Fire did to us, they owned the night. Opening with " Fury Whip " , a scorecher from their latest album, another, the title track from the same release, " Death is This Communion" was juicey with it. They then ripped the ever lovin' shit out of " Eyes and Teeth "from their 2nd album ' Surrounded By Theives '. What a heavy piece of work that release is. Then " The Face of Oblivion ' from their 3rd album ' Blessed Black Wings '. Tasty morsel at that. The new bass player Jeff Matz-ex Zeke member, filled in Joe Prestons shoes nicely, absolutely shredded during the intro to" Eyes and Teeth " : a tight fit and different style, he's helped elevate this band even further.
