The Lonesome Strangers: News - Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008 |
 The End Of An Era? This Wednesday's episode of the Lonesome Strangers may very well be my last… at least for a little while. I just got hired at a "real job" and my work hours are going to conflict with the current time slot of the radio show. As such, I'm going to need to take a leave of absence from the Lonesome Strangers. I’m sure I’ll return to the airwaves eventually but at this point, I can’t quite say when yet. So what will become of the Lonesome Strangers radio broadcast while I’m away? I’m glad you asked. The answer, simply put, is that there isn’t a whole lot that’s going to change. My co-host Mikey B is going to soldier on without me and continue to give all of you loyal listeners your weekly dose of rants, nonsense and music. If he replaces me with my beloved Hulk Hogan soundboard you might not even notice that I’m gone. So anyway, like I said, I’ll be back at some point but I don’t know when. I might need to quit my job, get fired or have the Lonesome Strangers show moved to a new time slot before I can return, but gosh darn it, I’LL BE BACK! Spanky G |

 Mikey Survived New York Yep, Mikey B made it to New York and back without suffering any head trauma (unlike me last year) so he'll be rejoining me in studio this week for a brand-spanking-new episode of the Lonesome Strangers radio broadcast. Yay! We're going to have music, news, nonsense and I'd imagine that Mike will have a story or two or three or four or even five about his magical trip. It should be good. So listen! Spanky G |

 This Looks Like A Job For Spanky G! Don't get too excited about the title of this posting. I'm not leaving the show because I found a full-time job... at least not yet. No, the title merely refers to the fact that Mikey's in New York City this week and therefore, for a second time in two weeks, the task of hosting the Lonesome Strangers radio broadcast falls upon my shoulders and my shoulders alone. To compensate for the lack of Mikey, I'll be having a special guest-co-host join me in the studio for what promises to be 2 full hours of entertaining-ish radio. At least that's the plan. With my luck she'll probably cancel on me and I'll have to have my beloved Hulk Hogan soundboard co-host the show with me. Ugh... So remember to tune in to CJLO this Wednesday, from 3:00 to 5:00PM, to hear me fumbling with the equipment and struggling to fill dead-air. It should be grand. Spanky G |

 Happy Thanksgiving! If you're in need of a reason to be thankful this Thanksgiving, I'll give you two: Reason #1: Mike's laser eye surgery was a success and he can see again! Reason #2: The dynamic duo of CJLO (the Lonesome Strangers) will be reunited and on the air this Wednesday afternoon. Be sure to tune into the show to hear all about how Mike's adjusting to having peepers that work, as well as to hear the latest in news, music and nonsense. There's also a 50/50 chance that we'll have a shocking announcement to make that could change the Lonesome Strangers radio broadcast forever (or at least for a few weeks). Spanky G |

 Osheaga Was "Smashing" This past Saturday, Mike and I managed to score some free tickets to the 1st day of Osheaga (thanks Pat!) so this week on the show we'll be giving you our thoughts on what we saw and heard. One of the highlights was definitely hearing the Smashing Pumpkins combine By Starlight (off of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness) and To Sheila (off of Adore) into one sexy acoustic song. If you'd like to get an idea of what it sounded like just click here. Spanky G |

 People Love To Watch Teens Strip I found myself with some spare time on Tuesday and decided to use it to make a short little video. After working some of my filmmaking magic, I uploaded my latest movie to YouTube and sat back and watched in amazement at what happened next. In less than 2 minutes, the video already had 250+ views. That's crizzazy!!!! The immediate popularity of the video likely had a lot to do with its name; Sexy Teen Stripping. If you'd like to check it out for yourself, you can do so by clicking here. As I write this, the movie has already managed to surpass the number of views that 2 Naughty Schoolgirls has gotten and it hasn't even been online for 24 hours yet. For the record, 2 Naughty Schoolgirls was uploaded on July 19th 2007. I guess the moral of this story is that if you want people to check out your stuff, you should give it a sexy name. With that in mind, the Lonesome Strangers radio broadcast will henceforth be known as the Sexy Teens Stripping radio broadcast. Spanky G |

 It's Time For A Post-Screening Wrap-Up First and foremost, allow me to thank all the brave souls who came to see 2 Naughty Schoolgirls at Fantasia on July 18th. I really appreciated it. I’d also like to let you all know that I felt horrible for everything you had to suffer through after my two minutes in the spotlight were over. For those of you who missed out, let’s just say that the films that followed my fake trailer weren’t exactly enjoyed by all. One in particular seemed to be particularly hated and actually attracted audible groans from the audience (and not the good kind either). Luckily for the guy who made it, he has friends who write reviews for a horror website and they gave it a positive write-up following the screening. Sure the reviewers had to downright lie about how the audience reacted to the film but hey, journalistic integrity is overrated anyway. For further details on this tale of shady journalism and to hear more about the screening itself, tune into this week’s episode of The Lonesome Strangers. I assure you that you won’t want to miss the profanity-laced tirade that Mikey B’s going to release on the topic. Sufficient to say he was not entertained by what the other movies had to offer. Also on the show this week, new stuff from Tegan and Sara, news about Rogue Wave’s upcoming album and more fun than you can shake a stick at. Spanky G P.S. If you didn't get to see 2 Naughty Schoolgirls at Fantasia you can now watch it online by clicking here. |

 2 Naughty Schoolgirls - This Wednesday! I don't know about Mikey B but I won't be doing the radio show this week. No, I'll be busy with the World Premiere of my latest film; 2 Naughty Schoolgirls. It'll be screening this Wednesday (July 18th) @ 5:00 PM in the DB Clarke theatre as part of Fantasia's Courts-Métrages Québécois DIY 4 program and once again, I invite anyone reading this to come check it out. Tickets should still be available at Concordia's Hall building and through the admission network if you're interested. For further ticket information go here. If you can't make the screening, tune into the The Lonesome Strangers next week to hear all about how it went and to find out about how drunk I got at the pre and post-screening parties. Chances are there'll be stories... none of them flattering. Spanky G |

 2 Naughty Schoolgirls @ Fantasia Amy and Jamie are a pair of sadistic schoolgirls who dabble in the occult and murder online predators for fun.

 Join Our Facebook Group! Some time ago, we Lonesome Strangers set up a MySpace page for our show. Shortly thereafter, we came to the realization that MySpace sucks a camel's ass... unless you're looking up prostitots online of course. As such, we've now set up a Facebook group for the show because Facebook is so much cooler. Don't get us wrong though, Facebook isn't cool, it's just seems that way in comparison to MySpace. So if you'd like to be Facebook friends with the Lonesome Strangers, head on over to http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2424956932 and join our super awesome group. Spanky G |

 What The Hell Happened To Us Last Week? If you sat down to listen to the show last week, you may have noticed that Mike and I didn't bother showing up for work. Hopefully you at least got to enjoy a good repeat broadcast or something equally entertaining. So where were we? Well, Mike took off to Toronto for one last farewell gig with his Beach Boys cover band and I just passed out... without the help of beer for once. This week we'll be back with fresh music, some weird news and our same old stale brand of humour so you should definitely tune in. Also, Mike'll probably have some interesting road trip stories to tell us about so that might be worth a listen. As for me, I was pretty much sober all week so I won't have any stories about random make-outs or fist-fights on busses. Maybe next week though... We'll catch you kids on Wednesday afternoon! And by the way, go see 2 Naughty Schoolgirls @ Fantasia this July. Out! Spanky G |
The Lonesome Strangers: News - Wednesday, May 30th, 2007 |

Tune in for the free shit, but stay for the music, news and rants. You'll be glad(ish) you did. Spanky G |
The Lonesome Strangers: News - Thursday, May 24th, 2007 |
 I'm Going To Fantasia With "2 Naughty Schoolgirls" As was announced on the May 23rd edition of the Lonesome Strangers radio broadcast, my latest film, 2 Naughty Schoolgirls, has been accepted into the 2007 edition of the Fantasia Film Festival. This will be the third year in row that I have a film being screened as part of the festival as The Hunger was shown in 2005 and last year A Date with the Dead was not only chosen for the fest, but actually won the Best English Quebec DIY Film prize. This year’s movie isn’t really even a movie at all. It’s actually a fake trailer. Kind of like the ones you might have seen in Grindhouse, though without that retro look . It’s only a little over two minutes long but despite this, I think there’s more blood in this trailer then there was in A Date with the Dead, which is pretty cool I think, considering that it was a 24 minute zombie movie! So what’s 2 Naughty Schoolgirls about? Well, it’s about two atypical 16-year-old girls who dabble in the occult and lure online predators to their home, where they murder them for fun. One day, while waiting for their next victim to arrive, a young innocent man named Matt, accidentally shows up at their doorstep and soon finds himself at their mercy. Will he escape? Or will he meet a grisly death? To find out you’d have to see the actual movie. Since it doesn’t exist, you’ll just have to settle for being entertained by sexy schoolgirls and tons of violence. The date of the screening hasn’t been announced yet but keep checking back here for more information. I’ll post news as soon as I get it. You can also check out Fantasia’s official website (www.fantasiafest.com/pre2007/en/) for details about my film and all the other wonderful movies they’ll be presenting this Summer. See you at the movies kids! Spanky G P.S. If you're not familiar with the Fantasia Film Festival, here's a promo video about it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzXpY9TA_yM |

 Who Are Those People? This week on the Lonesome Strangers we have a special treat for you. Some musician friends of ours who colllectively refer to themselves as Those People, will be coming into CJLO to play some live rock and/or roll for your listening pleasure. So tune in for that and then stay for the usual rants, news and other assorted music. You'll be glad you did. Spanky G |

 Mikey's Almost 30!!!!! This past weekend about half the population of the West Island went out to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the birth of Michael Christopher Bresciani. If you didn't partake in the celebrations, you'll have to tune in to this week's edition of the Lonesome Strangers radio broadcast to hear what you missed. There was drinking, Mexican food, laser-tag, suspense, highly inapropriate comments and more drinking, which all combined to make a very memorable night. Of course Mike probably doesn't remember much of it... On top of the birthday crap, we'll also have all the usual news, music and bizarre rants this week so be sure to listen. Spanky G |
The Lonesome Strangers: News - Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007 |
 Smashing! The Lonesome Strangers have received some huge insider concert news and we feel like sharing it with our listeners this week on the show. As you may have guessed from the picture to the left, the news is Pumpkins related, but if you really want to know what exactly the news is, you'll have to tune in (or do a quick google search). We'll also have some new tunes, some rants and some other music news for your enjoyment so make sure you listen to the Lonesome Strangers radio broadcast this Wednesday from 3:00 to 5:00 PM.

 Everyone Has A Price Do you remember "Body Break" and its two hosts, Hal Johnson and Joanne Mcleod? Well have you ever wondered what an hour of Hal Johnson and Joanne Mcleod's time was worth? Me too! So I went and did a little research and discovered the shocking answer. If you'd like to know what it is, you'll have to tune into this week's edition of the Lonesome Strangers. Listen for that and then stay for the music, news and rants. Spanky G |

 Happy St.Patrick's Day! In celebration of St.Patrick's Day, here's a video that my friend Caroline brought to my attention: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUa5jG_HSsc&mode=related&search. It has to be seen to be believed. The best part of the clip is the "amateur sketch." You'll know what I'm talking about when you see it. Spanky G |

 Listen To Us This Week Because... This week on the Lonesome Strangers, we've got music, news and rants but for this episode, none of that will matter. Why? Because you should be listening for one reason and one reason only: To hear out brand-spankin' show I.D!!!! It's sooooo good!!! Unfortunately, to understand it, you'll have to watch this first: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQNKfaXxrwE. Spanky G |

 Happy Belated Casimir Pulaski Day!!! Allow me to begin this post by wishing all of our listeners from Illinois a happy belated Casimir Pulaski Day. For those of you who don't know, Casimir Pulaski was Polish American War General during America's Revolutionary War. In his honor, Casimir Pulaski Day is celebrated on the first Monday of every March in the state of Illinois. To mark the occasion this year, Asthmatic Kitty Records is offering a free download of a demo version of Sufjan Stevens' "Casimir Pulaski Day." You can get that by going here: http://asthmatickitty.com/news.php?newsID=133. With that out of the way, let me tell why you should listen to this week's edition of The Lonesome Strangers Radio Broadcast. First of all, I've discovered some sick-ass cover songs that you're not gonna want to miss. Secondly, we're gonna have a bunch of music news including information on a couple of forthcoming releases from the Stars. Last but not least, I'll reveal why Avril Lavigne is the most talented woman in music today. Seriously, check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k44ejwWi1PU. Speaking of Avril, she looks soooooo good in her new video! She's got this punk, schoolgirl, Jem thing going on that I highly approve of. On that note, I'm off to touch myself inappropriately. Later kids! Spanky G |

 Got A Date For Valentine's Day? You Do Now. That annual "Treat Your Significant Other Like A Prostitute Day" (otherwise known as Valentine's Day) is upon us yet again, which means that it's time for another Lonesome Strangers Valentine's Day Special. On this week's show we'll be discussing love and heartbreak. We'll also be playing some pro/anti-love songs. Well at least that's the plan. Chances are the show will degenerate into a tirade about Curious George, the Berenstain Bears or some other totally unrelated topic. It usually does. Either way it'll be entertaining so you should tune in and spend your Valentine's Day with the Lonesome Strangers. Spanky G |

 The Future Of Hip Hop As you well know by now, we Lonesome Strangers have our fingers on the pulse of today's music scene and as such we can spot the next big thing in music long before it is the next big thing. On this week's broadcast, we'll introduce you to the man who will be the next Eminem. If you can't wait until Wednesday afternoon, then go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fgpa6hjlUbY Spanky G |

 Our Week Sucked Like The Habs (who usually don't) The schoolgirl to the left has nothing to do with this post. I just really really like schoolgirls. Now onto this week's news... This past week was pretty boring for us Lonesome Strangers. The highlights were $6.99 pitchers, practicing our squeegee kid skills and cussing at a Couche-Tard employee. Now what does this mean for you the listener? Well, it means that we won't have much "real" stuff to talk and rant about on this week's show. I'm sure we can make up for it somehow though. Maybe we'll go off on a tirade about how the Habs suddenly suck like a super-powered vacuum, maybe we'll have a Skip It competition on live radio, maybe we'll even play a song or two. Regardless, the show will be good this week so you should listen. Spanky G |
The Lonesome Strangers: News - Tuesday, January 9th, 2007 |
 The Lonesome Gunman???? Earlier today, Montreal Police were called out to Concordia's Loyola Campus (where CJLO just happens to be located) because a janitor reported seeing someone with a rifle case. The school was evacuated and classrooms were searched. In the end, the "rifle case" ended up containing a stick and the lockdown came to an end. When I first heard about this, I immediately began to wonder if a fellow Comunication Studies student had finally lost it. Though I'd be the most likely suspect, I knew it couldn't be me so I started to think of who else could be driven crazy by COMS. The it hit me... MIKEY B!!!!!! The evidence was there. Consider that he left the following anti-COMS Douche rant on the wall of the "Keep Your Fucking Hand Down in Lecture and Shut Up. No One Care's" group on Facebook: "I study Communications... my program is full of pseudo-intellectual douchebags that need to validate their own sense of intellectual superiority... (just like every other program I guess... but still...) Anyway, considering there wasn't really a gunman at Concordia, I guess Mikey didn't go bat-shit crazy... at least not yet. And that's good news because that means we can do our radio show this week. Tune in, it'll be good-ish. Spanky G

 We'll Be Back This Week - Saddam... Not So Much. The holidays are over and it's time to go back to school but there's no reason to be sad. Why? Because the Lonesome Strangers radio broadcast is returning to the CJLO airwaves this week. We'll be sharing the gory details of our holiday partying, bringing you some music news, playing some good tunes and we'll even have a short tribute to the late Saddam Hussein. Can you afford to miss this? Do you have anything better to do this Wednesday at 3:00? Yeah, I thought not. Spanky G |

 Merry Christmas From The Lonesome Strangers Well my birthday party has come and gone and I'm happy to report that I more or less survived. Jack Daniels whupped my ass with a belt but yet I still managed to live to see Christmas. The party was quite eventful but we'll have more on that at a later date. This post isn't about my drinking problem or my questionnable morals. No, this post is about Christmas damn it! As such, here's a little present from us Lonesome Strangers to all our fans out there. http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/Merry+Christmas/ Happy holidays everyone! Stay tuned for further updates about the return of the Lonesome Strangers radio broadcast. Spanky G |

 The End Of 2006 And The Lonesome Strangers??? This week's Lonesome Strangers broadcast will be our last show of the year so we're gonna have a lot to get to. It's going to be a 2 hour Christmas/Year End super spectacular that you will NOT want to miss. Not only will we be dropping our usual bizarre rants but we'll also be playing some Christmas tunes and some of our top picks from 2006. If that wasn't enough, this could very well be the very last episode of the Lonesome Strangers ever!!!!!!! Gasp! Say what??? Well, on December 21st, I Spanky G, will be celebrating my 24th birthday and chances are that I won't survive. For the last few years, I've narrowly avoided death by alcohol poisoning and my luck is bound to run out sooner rather than later. If I do indeed kick the bucket this year, I can't gurantee that Mikey will continue to do the show without me. Sure he could try to replace me with "Wrong Side of the Bed" Katie, Dallas or maybe a llama but it just wouldn't be the same. So if the Lonesome Strangers don't make it to 2007, let me just thank each and every one of our listeners for tuning in to the show this year. You guys and gals make getting up on Wednesdays to do non-sensical radio worthwhile. The fat pay cheques that CJLO gives us don't hurt either though. Happy Holidays from Spanky G and that other Lonesome Stranger! |

 The Lonesome Strangers Return... Sort Of After taking a week off so that they wouldn't fail school, the Lonesome Strangers return to the CJLO airwaves this week for a brand new episode. Well, sort of... I, Spanky G will be back in the studio this week but unfortunately, Mikey B won't as he is still fighting a life and death Cage Match with homework. The show must go on though so I'll be taking full responsibility this week for providing our lonesome listeners with good music, bizarre rants and tasteless humour. I may have some extra special guests pop in to help out so be sure to listen. Spanky G |

 Why Watch Porn When You Can Watch "The Hunger?" Since the summer of 2005, my short film "The Hunger" has been playing at film festivals all across North America. Now that we're approaching the year 2007, I think that the movie's festival run may finally be over. As such, I've decided to upload the film to YouTube so that people may continue to enjoy it. If you'd like to check it out, head on over to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hSbl4_S2Go. You can also watch it on the Lonesome Strangers' MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/thelonesomestrangers) or on my MySpace page(http://www.myspace.com/33568953). Feel free to leave comments but be warned that if you diss the flick, I'll get all Uwe Boll on your ass and punch your face in. Spanky G |

 Christmas Comes Early Thanks To Sufjan Stevens If you haven't already heard, Sufjan Stevens will be releasing a 5 CD box set of Christmas music on November 21 2006. The CDs will feature some original material and classic Christmas songs as well. If you can't wait until the release date to check this out, then head on over to http://www.asthmatickitty.com/suf_xmas/suf_xmas.php where you can listen to all 5 CDs in their entirety. Just make sure you're listening to us Lonesome Strangers and not Sufjan this Wednesday between 3:00 and 5:00 PM. If you don't listen to the show, you'll miss the return of Hulk Hogan and another Mikey B on-air meltdown. You wouldn't want that would you? Spanky G |

 Online Predators (not the Lonesome Strangers) First and foremost, allow me to thank all of you who came out to Reggie's this past Wednesday to check out the films. Though I doubt that most of you were able to hear anything due to all the background noise, I'm glad to see that some of you at least tried to listen. It was much appreciated. Now onto business. If you blinked, you probably missed the second film "Online Predators" and even if you did see it, there's no way you heard it. With that in mind, I invite you all to head on over to www.youtube.com/watch?v=qn67hHnKkIY where you can watch this short P.S.A. I'm a litle hesitant about putting "The Hunger" and "A Date with the Dead" online at this time for a variety of reasons but I'll consider it. In the meantime, check out "Online Predators" and help me keep kids safe on the internet. Spanky G |

 It's A Spanky G Movie Marathon This Wednesday night (October 25th) CJLO will be hosting a Halloween party at Reggie's (located in Concordia's Hall Building at 1455 de Maisonneuve Blvd. W.) and we Lonesome Strangers have 3 solid reasons why you should attend. 1. My award winning film, "A Date with the Dead," will be screened. 2. My 2005 film "The Hunger" will screened. 3. My latest short film (and I do mean short) will be screened for the first time ever. Could things get any better? Actually, yes. Not only will the Lonesome Strangers be providing the movies but we'll also be spinning some tunes for those of you who show up. I'm also under the impression that there will be cheap(ish) beer. So grab a costume and come on down to Reggie's this Wednesday. The fun starts at 7:00 PM. While I'm here, allow me to remind you to listen to this week's special episode of the Lonesome Strangers. It'll feature great music, some news (including this story http://entertainment1.sympatico.msn.ca/OJ+Simpson+If+I+Did+It/Celebs/News/ContentPosting.aspx?isfa=1&newsitemid=KP23100610&feedname=CP-SHOWBIZ_V2&show=False&number=0&showbyline=False&subtitle=&detect=&abc=abc ) and shameless plugging of my movies. Hmmmm, that actually sounds a lot like a typical broadcast... Spanky G |

 Return Of The Living Dead Yes, Mikey and I both look like zombies right about now, as we've been busy writing essays and not sleeping but that's not what this article's about. No, this article is all about the return of A Date with the Dead to the big screen. On Friday, October 20, A Date with the Dead will be screened at UberCon VIII. This is going down at Midnight at the LaQuinta Inn & Suites in Secaucus New Jersey. For more details go to http://www.ubercon.com/. Following the Jersey screening, A Date with the Dead will next be shown on October 25 at Reggie's, which is located at 1455 de Maisonneuve Blvd. W. (Concordia's Hall building for those of you who don't know) here in beautiful Montreal. My 2005 film The Hunger and a brand new short of mine will be screened as well. As if my super awesome movies weren't enough to get you to go to Reggie's on the 25th, I also believe that there's going to be a special CJLO Halloween party going on there on the very same night. Oh snap! Now that's a sweet deal! See you all there... unless I get drunk. In which case I won't see much other than blurs. Spanky G |

 The Return Of The Lonesome Strangers Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great joy that we Lonesome Strangers announce that we'll be returning to the CJLO airwaves on October 18th. Mikey's Beach Boys cover band broke up over creative differences and I somehow managed to survive my spiritual journey to the bars of New York City. I also somehow managed to survive getting lost in East Orange, New Jersey, but that's another story. In case you're wondering, the picture posted along with this article isn't from one of my movies. No, that's actually me bleeding to death on some street in New York at about 4:30 in the morning. Can you afford to miss the story of how this happened? I didn't think so. Well the only way you'll find out (unless you ask me in person) is by tuning in on Wednesday at 3:00 PM. Be there or be square... Times Square! Get it? Spanky G |

 I'm Glad Someone's Making Money Off My Work As some of you may recall, both Mikey and I have gone through ebay addictions in the past. Now while we conquered these addictions, we still like to visit the site from time to time. I decided to do just that the other day and wound up getting quite the surprise. Up for auction was a collection of super rare movies including two of my very own. That's right, someone other than me was selling copies of A Date with the Dead and The Hunger. It turns out that a guy that worked for one of the festivals I submitted to took it upon himself to make a buck on the hard work of others. The seller ended up making 51 American dollars and consequently the guy has now made more off these movies than I have. Here's a link to the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/Over-110-underground-shot-films-Rare-Unusual_W0QQitemZ270033767248QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting Unbelievable!!!! Spanky G |

 Who Did Jet Piss Off To Deserve This? www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/38853/Jet_Shine_On If you'd like to see the harshest album review that I have ever come across then click on the link above. The unfortunate recipients of this dubious distinction are Australian rockers Jet. Let's just say that the folks at Pitchfork apparently don't much care for their new album "Shine On." I'm wondering if one of the band members slept with the reviewers wife or something. Damn... Let's just hope for the reviewer's sake that Jet doesn't pull a Uwe Boll on the guy. If you don't get the joke, check out the article directly below this one. Spanky G |

 Uwe Boll Takes On His Critics... Literally As I mentioned on the show last week, Uwe Boll, the director of several Hollywood mega-bombs suck as "House of the Dead" and "BloodRayne," recently faced a few of his critics in a boxing ring in Vancouver. One of them was even a minor! As crazy as this sounds, it's 100% true.

 Back To School Part 2 Mikey B and I checked out some sweet concerts this weekend and on this Wednesday's broadcast we'll be sharing our thoughts on the shows we saw. We'll also comment on what it's like being back at school... or maybe we won't. If we don't, we'll have another excuse to post a sexy schoolgirl picture next week. Yes it's true. The Lonesome Strangers are slowly but surely turning cjlo.com into just another porn site. Seriously though, can you ever have enough porn sites? That's what I thought. Spanky G |

 Oh Snap! Special Guests! This week's show was shaping up to be something special. It was going to feature even more talk about Mayor McCheese and other awesomeness. It seemed as though this week's show couldn't get any better. At least it did until earlier today, when I got word that the South Shore's very own The Refined will be coming into the CJLO studio to rock out live. Their music was featured in A Date with the Dead so you know they're good. Tune in this Wednesday afternoon and hear for yourselves. Spanky G |
The Lonesome Strangers: News - Sunday, August 20th, 2006 |
 Mayor McCheese Is A Total Player Since last week's on-air discussion about Mayor McCheese, I've been hearing from more and more girls who think he's hot stuff. At first this seemed very odd to me as the guy has a freakin' hamburger for a head. After sitting down and thinking about it though (which I did) it occured to me that this Mayor McCheese love really isn't that hard to comprehend. Mike and I will discuss this and much more on this week's edition of the Lonesome Strangers Radio Broadcast. Don't miss it!!!! Spanky G |

 Spanky G & Lupus Invade CJLO From 1995 to 2000, two young men challenged the authority and patience of all those who dared cross their paths at Mac High. Now in 2006, the pair will re-unite to lay siege to the CJLO airwaves. This week Mikey B is in New York so my long-time partner in crime Lupus will be filling in for him as my co-host. Will there be trouble, vandalism and drunken debauchery? You'll have to tune in to find out. If history has taught me anything though, it's that the answer should be a resounding yes. Edit: Since this was originally posted, Lupus cancelled and Mike got back from New York. So for better or for worse, you'll be getting a regular edition of the Lonesome Strangers radio broadcast this week. Try to enjoy it. Spanky G |

 A Date With The Dead on the IMDB The "A Date With The Dead" page is now up on the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com/title/tt0825242/). There's barely any info there as I write this but expect several updates over the next few weeks. I mention this because I wanted to remind you all that once you see the film on July 16th @ Fantasia, you should take the time to log onto imdb.com and rate the flick. It's easy to do and only takes a minute. Spanky G |

 A Date With The Dead @ Fantasia Hey there Lonesome listeners, there's big news on the movie front this week so grab a chair, get comfortable and read on... The time and date have finally been announced for the World Premiere of "A Date With The Dead" (the movie that Mikey B and I just completed a little while ago). It'll be screened on Sunday July 16th 2006 at 2:30 PM in the J.A De Seve cinema at Concordia. That's located at 1400 de Maisonneuve O right here in beautiful downtown Montreal. The film is being screened as part of Fantasia's Quebec DIY (English) program. Tickets are $7.50 a pop unless you buy 10 at a time, in which case the price drops to $6.50. The tickets go on sale July 4th at 2:00 PM and will be available at Concordia's Hall building (1455 de Maisonneuve O) and through the admissions network. I suggest getting tickets as early as possible as I have no idea what the demand will be for this screening and it would suck if were to sell out before all of our loyal fans could score some tickets. For further information go to www.fantasiafest.com/2006/ or skip right ahead to the ADWTD page by going here www.fantasiafest.com/2006/en/films/film_detail.php?id=61. I hope to see you all the premiere as you should totally check this flick out. Not that Mike and I want to give ourselves a BIg Bad Barry Horowitz pat on the back or anything but this movie is hella good and it may just well be the funniest film you see this year. Seriously.

 Fantasies and Fantasia The following is a true story... Something crazy happened tonight. I was researching the female anatomy online (looking at porn) when I heard the pitter-patter of my little brother's feet rushing towards my room. I quickly changed websites because I didn't want my brother to see what I was up to. I mean who wants to sit their younger sibling down and explain to them that when a mommy and daddy love each other very much, they invite over a few schoolgirls and have a hardcore orgy? Anyway, my brother had come downstairs to bring me the phone as someone was on the line for me. As I took the phone I realized that the website I had clicked on in my haste was the Fantasia Film Fest's site. This is where things get weird. It turns out that it was the Fantasia Film Fest on the phone for me too. What are the chances of that? They were calling to let me know that my new movie, "A Date With The Dead" has been accepted to this year's festival. Needless to say I'm pleased and I will be shilling the hell out of this. Stay tuned to the Lonesome Strangers radio broadcast and this page for updates on times and dates of screenings. Spanky G |

 An Iron Sheik Meltdown OK, at this point I'm beginning to realize that I may have a problem. I can't seem to get enough of washed up wrestlers and their bizarre antics. Here's a hilarious video of the Iron Sheik having a meltdown (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K-wEUCCvE0&search=Iron%20Sheik%20). During an interview, he goes on and on about another wrestler that he sees as a "fag" and how he wanted to "make him humble" by breaking his back and giving him some man love from behind if you catch my drift. I couldn't make this up if I tried. Spanky G |

 Queerin' Don't Make The World Work While listening to the Lonesome Strangers, you may have heard Mikey or I make reference to either the Ultimate Warrior (the charming fellow you see to the left) or to the phrase "queerin' don't make the world work." Now this may have left you scratching your head wondering just what the hell we were talking about, as I imagine you do a lot if you listen to our show for more than a few minutes. Well now you don't have to be in the dark anymore as I've found a video that will explain everything. You can find it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxZWjJyw3rg&search=ultimate%20warrior. Basically, the Ultimate Warrior, who was a big wrestler in the early 90s, now goes around giving lectures about his far-right political views on life and a few months back he brought his hate... errrr... opinions to the University of Connecticut. Luckily someone was there with a camera to record the whole thing. The lecture starts off kind of slow but starts to really pick up around the 44 minute mark when Warrior starts getting really homophobic and racist. Obviously hilarity ensues. This is definitely worth a watch and not just because of how damn funny it is but also because this video serves as a powerful warning to anyone considering taking steroids. They can clearly take a seriously damaging toll on your sanity. On a side note, looking at that picture, can you really believe that this guy would be homophobic? He's wearing tassles and makeup for Christ's sake... Spanky G |

During the night, Diegos (CJLO's answer to the Oscars or the WWF's Slammy awards) were handed out in several categories and we Lonesome Strangers were the proud recipients of "The Bar Of Soap Award". Before you ask, no this had nothing to do with that night we spent in a Texas jail. This prestigious award is actually given out to the show that does the best job of cleaning up its act. It seems our strategy of replacing F-Bombs with non-sensical rants has really paid off. Yay us! Spanky G |

 Fountains of Wayne Rock Saddam Hussein's Ass!!! We Lonesome Strangers have huge news this week. As you may know, Mikey and I are currently hard at work on a brand new short film and it looks like this new flick will feature a song by none other than Fountains of Wayne. We contacted them a short while ago about using the song "Baby I've Changed" in the film and they got back to us this week to give us the OK to do so. How friggin' awesome is that? The movie's still in production as I write this but it should be 100% complete by the end of April so expect more and more movie news as the weeks go on. Spanky G |

 "The Hunger" News And A Programming Note If you've been paying atention to the Lonesome Strangers' show or if you've been reading this page then you likely know that my film "The Hunger" will be playing at Cinemuerte, a cool film festival out in Vancouver.

To learn more about the movie go to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0459543/. For further information about Cinemuerte consult http://www.cinemuerte.com/. On a side note, if you go check out The Hunger on the internet movie database ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469918/) you'll notice that my movie is rated better than Sigma. And now for a programming note. The Lonesome Strangers will once again have a 2 hour show starting September 26th. We'll be broadcasting from 12:00 to 2:00 PM right here on ww.cjlo.com. Spanky G |

 PERISHERS INTERVIEW Hello All, |
The Lonesome Strangers: News - Tuesday, April 26th, 2005 |
 The World Premiere of "THE HUNGER" As I promised, here's all the info you'll need regarding the world premiere of my film "The Hunger." It premieres Tuesday, May 3rd 2005 as part of the Film II year end screening. The event is being held at 1455 de Maisonneuve Blvd W. (that's Concordia's Hall building) in room H-110. The doors open at 7:30 but I'd recommend getting there early to ensure that you get a good seat. A lot of time, effort and money went into this film so it would be great to see some people coming out to support it. Following the screening there will be an after-party where we can all get drizzunk. Do you need more motivation than that to come see this thing? To celebrate "The Hunger's" big premiere, next week's episode of the Lonesome Strangers will be a Super Sized special edition of the show jam packed with awesomeness and deliciousness. It'll be like a happy meal for your ears. Frequent contributor to the show Paul "Scratchmasta" Dejean may even be joining us in studio for the show so you know it's going to be a party. So make sure to tune in to the show next Tuesday from 12:00PM to 2:00PM and then make your way downtown for what may well be the most memorable film you'll see this year. Seriously. See you at the movies kids. Spanky G |
