CKUT TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE CHARTS::: March 14, 2017

unnamed

Hello friends,

As you probably know, we’re in the midst of an epic winter blast with plenty of snow and frigid temperatures in this part of the world… After a brief glimpse of spring, we’re back in the sub-zero zone here in Montreal. I opted to stay in and hibernate for most of the weekend, but I did venture out for a very excellent album launch from our friends (& CJLO superstars) Aim Low and Echo Beach, pictured above. Well worth braving that -30 windchill.

PS – no SXSW for us this year, we’re having too much fun digging ourselves out of this massive snowstorm to enjoy that Texas sunshine. 😉

CKUT TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE CHARTS::: January 10, 2017

Hi friends,
January in Montreal = plenty of snow and sub-zero temperatures (duh), so I’m deep in hibernation mode for the time being. Please send me your favourite book recommendations, movie tips, and comfort food recipes. Winter will not get the best of me this year.

:::WHAT’S UP AT CKUT:::
Tara Desmond is well-known around these parts. Not only is she a kickass multi-instrumentalist (The Submissives, Drainolith, the Pink Noise, etc etc), she’s also one of Montreal’s trippiest visual artists and an avid booker/supporter of live music in our fair city. Plus, she’s got one of the most eclectic record collections out there. Needless to say, we’re beyond thrilled to welcome her (under the Original T Dizzle moniker) into the studio for January’s edition of the Montreal Sessions everyTuesday from 3-5pm. Open your ears to T Dizzle’s Wacky World and soak in everything from kitschy thrift shop tapes to underground New Zealand pop to local punk jams. Hold on tight, yer in for a wild ride…
