Will Graham's Beach Jams

"Will Graham's Beach Jams" is a winter survival mix tape curated by Ethan Vestby from CJLO's Station To Station (Tuesdays, 11:00 AM - Noon).

What partly distinguishes Michael Mann's macho archetypes are their dreams of a tropical paradise just so narrowly beyond their reach. And at this point in the winter, where we trudge through terrain physical (snow and puddles) as well as mental (the crushing monotony of either school or work), we can't help but be like them. Thus the creation of the imagined playlist of Manhunter's Will Graham, rewarded at the film's end with his beach retreat.


CJLO Mix Tape Club: Winter Survival

Did you know that there are people out there who deny climate change, and yet they still believe that the groundhog can bring on six more weeks of winter every year?

Well my friends, on February 2nd a groundhog named Fred in Val d'Espoir, Quebec did indeed see his shadow, and since that means we still have about three weeks left of winter (according to folklore, that people actually still believe), CJLO DJs, friends, and dedicated volunteers are sharing some mix tapes to get through the harsh weather and will the Spring to come early. If a Marmota monax can do it, so can we!

Mix Tape News!

Tone Deaf has just published the track list and a Vimeo video of a mix tape created by Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain in 1988 entitled "Montage of Heck". According to the article, the mix is "a creepy 36-minute production from the young mind of Cobain, which was pieced together a full year before Nirvana's debut release Bleach". Creepy? Genius is more like it!


Mix Tape News!

Hey! CHECK IT OUT: The CJLO Mix Tape Club got a mention in College Magazine's Top 16 College Radio Stations:

A station's community presence bears just as much importance as the music it bumps. The CJLO Mixtape Club presents even non-radio members with a place to discuss music and share mixes on Facebook, but also holds in-person meet-ups to hear mixtapes in the flesh. If hearing your next-door neighbor's mixtape of dubstep and Pearl Jam doesn't inspire you, CJLO posts mixtapes curated by DJs and staff on its blog.
