Osheaga 2011 - Day 2

August 8 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

Saturday’s showcase kicked off with a brief set by Montreal’s punk rock vets, The 222s. The set was plagued with poor sound, but they still had the early birds' toe-tappin’ to songs like “I love Susan” and “Academic Drop”. They were followed by Atlanta’s Manchester Orchestra, who had the first solid following of the day. Though the volume of their guitars was high and their energy was impressive, I wasn’t overly blown away.

Osheaga 2011 - Day 1

August 5 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

Flash forward to Saturday afternoon (Osheaga, Day 2) at Parc Jean Drapeau. DFA 1979 drummer/vocalist Sebastien Grainger paused between songs, and asked the crowd an important question: “Does Eminem still hate his mom?”

The answer: Yes.

Apologies from the Station Manager

August 4 2011 // CJLO

Over the past week, there has been CJLO spam sent over 3rd party news sites from the manager@cjlo.com email address.

I would like to personally apologize and let the community know that we are doing all that we can to figure out who is responsible. Any email with a news attachment or a blurb about CJLO coming from my name and the manager email is spam. I do not endorse this kind of 'publicity' for the station.

I apologize again and thank you for your understanding.
