May 14, 2013 – CKUT TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE CHARTS

Pop Talk

Hey friends,
Had a super busy but great weekend – CKUT celebrated its 25th anniversary on the FM dial with a party for the ages (complete with a community orcHERstra playing a percussion-heavy, punked-out version of a cult fave Italian opera jam), had a great visit with a lovely former CKUT intern from Germany + her bff as they cruised through Montreal, and was wowed by the tales of a few colleagues at a real nice short story reading/performance series on Friday evening. The whole while I’ve been trying to amp up my immune system as I fend off a wicked cold and prepping for a show tonight with CKUT pals AJ Cornell & Eyle of Pine (y’all remember AJ, right?) – both excited and nervous to share a stage with those two.

Gonna be in NYC over the weekend so if you’re around and wanna hang, give me a shout.

Campus Mixtapes

So, we’re launching this new mix-sharing website that we’ve designed for McGill students and CKUT members called Campus Mixtapes! Come help make it official by checking out the launch this Friday, which is open to everybody:

THIS FRIDAY! FREE! CKUT BANDS! CAMPUS MIXTAPES DJS!

Come start your night off right with an early-evening show celebrating the finally-ready-ness of CKUT’s Campus Mixtapes Site.

The Deal:

8-8:45 Showcasing the best of the sites mixtapes (drink your wine, mingle, talk to friendly CKUT experts about how to launch your mixtape and climb your way to obscure musical notoriety).

8:45 ISLE OF PINE

9:30 COBRA & VULTURE (Mems Parlovr)

The Site: Campus Mixtapes is a music sharing project open to any member of CKUT or member of the McGill community. Users are free to upload mixes of any genre – whether it’s experimental freeform stuff you’ve mixed yourself, or a straightforward compilation of Top 40 hits.
