Montreal police are now giving fines to Pokemon Go players who are
disobeying the law.

According to Global News, police have been handing out tickets for
jaywalking and illegal parking since last weekend.

While many Pokemon Go players were upset about receiving fines from
the police, many continued to cross the street at red lights and park
their cars in front of fire hydrants on Monday.

Police have had to routinely intervene at mass groupings, such as
those at Atwaters Cabot Square.

Ontario residents can now order their favourite alcohol online.

According to CBC News, the Liquor Control Board of Ontario has
re-launched their website.

Patrons can now choose from a virtual wine shelf of up to 5,000 local
products and have them delivered to their door step.

CEO George Soleas says the move reflects the Board's initiative to
modernize and help expand the province's economy.

Soleas adds that upon delivery of their online order, patrons will
need to show proper identification to prove they are of legal age.

The worst mass killing in generations in Japan took place on Tuesday
after a man with a knife killed 19 people and wounded 20 others.

According to CTV News, the man entered a facility for the handicapped
just 50 kilometres from Tokyo around 2 am.

Official sources in the Kanagawa prefecture say that he had worked at
the facility until February.

The man turned himself into the police two hours later and has been charged.

Japan, which enforces extremely strict gun laws, rarely sees mass killings.

Tune into Ashes to Ashes tomorrow at 1 PM to hear an interview with Toronto retro-pop trio Monarch!  Separately, its members (Maya Killtron, Ryan Farley, Greg Harrison) make dance-pop, rock, and even marimba music!  Together, they form Monarch, specializing in updating the sounds of 80’s pop for the 21st century.  They’ll talk about how they came together, their debut single (and under the radar summer anthem) “In My Blood,” and what they have planned for the future.  You won’t want to miss it!

Ashes to Ashes is your weekly dose of music from the 1980's that has stood the test of time, featuring bits of indie rock, alt-country, electronic, hip-hop, funk, and even a dash of reggae; hosted by Alex, every Tuesday from 1-2 PM!

TUNE in this Sunday July 24th at 10am ET for the series finale and last episode of CJLO's pioneer Japanese music show, Shibuya Crossing.

Join SATYYY and celebrate Japanese music once more in style, as we feature the magic of the Fantasia International Film Festival on Hour One. We'll dive into the ambient and atmospheric soundscape and wake up to the music inspired and influenced from the many Japanese films screened this year at Concordia University's Hall Theatre, as well as share some of the fave films that have sparked our interest this year - from the slice-of-life to the unpredictable zombie type. It will be fun cinematic smorgasbord to devour.

The Final Hour will become up-close and personal. Feast yourselves to a digital mixtape of some great music showcased during the show's run and walk down through memory lane, as SATYYY reflects and shares some parting words on the music and memories that are dear to the host, the friends, and the global music community - from live concerts, to festivals, to new friendships forged, to fresh music discoveries, and as a gateway for many more programs of similar light to spawn right here on the radio.

In light of the festival and this final episode, you're welcome to call or text in at + 1 514 848 7471, or mention us at @CJLO1690AM on Social Media between 10 and noon Eastern Time and get the chance to win a pair of free passes for you and your buddy to see a Fantasia film of your choice, or simply to say hi and express your deep thanks for the music that has kept you company over the course of the program's long run.

With deep gratitude and appreciation for your enthusiasm and support, this unpredictable rollercoaster sonic journey draws into its final stop - after three amazing years that span 100-plus episodes, countless interviews, fun conversations, and unpredictable sonic stories, unraveling very kind of Japanese music imaginable from home and away. From J-Pop to Visual Kei. Experimental to avant garde. Canadian home-grown to internationally well-known.

But don't fret if you missed any bit of this series - as the best episodes from the past three years will be featured for the rest of the summer between now and Fall of this season. Either way, it is a sonic journey that's definitely not to miss.

Join us as we take you on a journey once more into the global crossroads of Japanese music. It all starts at 10am ET at 1690AM in Montreal, and online at CJLO.com.​

Directed by Daniel Grou

King Dave is based on a play by Alexandre Goyett. Director Daniel Grou (Podz) has kept the integrity of the production, as the hour and forty minutes is filmed in the style of a long single shot with a natural edit as we move from scene to scene. The audience follows Dave (Alexandre Goyette) on his misadventures and chance encounters that normally racially or violently charged, and meet a violent or abrupt ending. Dave spews with passion his inner character monologues to the audience, as the fourth wall is broken. There are only brief seconds where Dave comes back to the scene to interact with the characters of the act.

In the prelude, we are introduced to Dave by his inner monologue as he goes from the metro to the scene of a party. He thinks of himself as a larger-than-life character, in the world where he is king and can do anything. At the party he befriends some gangsters who enlist him to steal car radios for a big payout, for Act 2. Act 3 sees Dave being flushed with cash as he heads to the club with his guy friends, and his girlfriend. Things end badly as his girlfriend ends up dancing with another guy, and Act 4 starts off with the girlfriend leaving Dave due to his criminal and erratic behaviour.

The acts then revolve around Dave trying to get back to his girlfriend, that leads him on a bunch of chance encounters and a lot of misadventures. As much as these adventures are of the violent and erratic nature, it is nice to see a calmness of Dave meeting a sympathetic ear of a female friend from a party. There is even an ingenious play where the audience member becomes a part of the action, as a police officer starts integrating us as a primary witness to Dave's actions. Through the inner monologues and a flashback to a sequence in his childhood, we discover how Dave became set in his erratic violent boisterous persona of King Dave. Along with Dave figuring out the truth through his inner monologues, it also enables him to some deep soul searching and his will to change for the better.

The film's integrity as a theatre production is kept as the adaptation is a collaboration between Goyett and Grou. This is done by the single tracking shot and edited together by moving from one scene to the next in a natural flow, as theatre productions always try to achieve. It is also done by the performance of Alexandre Goyette, who at times is reciting dramatic inner character monologues by breaking the forth wall, as well using split seconds to interact with action or characters on screen.

King Dave is currently playing in its original language at various theatres. Check your local listings for showtimes.
