What an untrustworthy looking bunch. From L to R, Lachlan (enjoying the cool underkilt breezes as only a true Scot can), Abby (I think she’s trying to show us something…), me (oops on the scissorfingers, I thought we were going with a gang theme), (yr friendly neighborhood rock critic and beard cultivator) Jonathan Cummins, Omar Goodness (bemused as always) and Mikey from M for Montreal (the next shot involved him spitting beer all over the floor). Ladies and gentlemen, yr lovely host and hostess and merciless judges for CJLO’s first annual Battle of the Bands!
My congratulations to hey predator!, who walked away with the grand prize (2 days of recording time at CJLO studios with our renowned producer David Kunstatter, a feature on CJLO stalwart Hooked on Sonics as well as on the CJLO website, 100$ for gear from Italmelodie, and a 300$ cheque from Scotiabank). Congrats as well to Interracial Love Triangle, who took 2nd and 200$ in gear from Italmelodie, and to runners up Left Side Neighbor, who nabbed 50$ in gear from Boutique Tone.
My thanks to all the bands that came out and competed (I had a ton of fun watching you and I hope it was a worthwhile experience), and to all the attendees, who I hope had as good a time as I did! And of course, my thanks to all the CJLO kids and crew for pitching in and making this happen… you’re the reason I still do this.
don’t forget!
Tonight - first ever CJLO Battle of the Bands! Loyola Campus, in the auditorium under the church (F.C. Smith). Frosty 3$ McAuslan beers start flowing at 6:30, and admission costs 2$, so even the relatively poverty-stricken can afford a good time tonight. The show starts at 7:30 sharp, so don’t wander in late or you’ll miss the first bands, and the biting commentaries by Jonathan Cummins from Mirror mag, Mikey from M from Montreal, CJLO’s own Omar Goodness, and me! I will be available for bribery before the show, so bring those sweet beards and free beers over in my direction, and don’t forget to pick up the latest edition of the CJLO Magazine… if you’re nice I’ll even sign it for ya.

I figured out how to reblog myself. This makes xposting even easier now.
You should come to this. There’s gonna be quality beer at quality prices (3$ a pop for a full selection of St. Ambroise, as well as wine, and dollar sodas and juice), the cover is dirt cheap, there are gonna be door prizes and there’s bound to be at least one band you’ll like enough to cheer for. I am one of the judges (!), along with Jonathan Cummins (Bionic, Doughboys, and rawk critic for Mirror mag), Mikey from M For Montreal, and my boy Omar Goodness (CJLO Head MD and all around good guy). It’s gonna be fun…
This is my day.
Haribo macht Angelika froh, und Erwachsene ebenso.
Seriously, best gummibears ever.
things that are on my mind:
the fact that i didn’t go see mötley crüe.
the fact that i did arrange most of my weekend plans around 1 vs. 100 live.
the realization that the nerdy part of me seems to be slowly vanquishing the banger in me.
making it into the mob again yesterday, but having the one take the $$ (again).
being the 5th best player in the crowd, yet coming in as the #3 winner of that day’s arcade game (marvel vs. capcom 2), and how that might be possible.
CJLO pub quiz tonight, round 2 at ye olde orchard. if you’re ready to either join or challenge the 3rd place champs, you should come on out.
the first ever CJLO battle of the bands! (still four days to submit, btw.)
