Public Warning

Well it's been a while since I've posted anything on here, but I can assure you that I am still alive. Someone filled in for my radio show last week, so I hope you liked it.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know that we're giving away lots of cool stuff at GT's this Thursday night. Straight outta England, we'll have copies of 'Public Warning', the brand new album from Lady Sovereign.

We'll also have CD's and t-shirts from Edmonton's Shout Out Out Out Out to give away. They'll be playing at Call The Office on November 9th, and we'll have some tickets for the show as well.

Sweet. See you at da club! djrg out.

Guest DJ

Tomorrow night at the club, my good friend Jesse will be spinning a guest DJ set. He played some great stuff during a guest set back in April. This time around you can expect to hear lots more cutting edge rock n' roll out of the UK, as well as some classic stuff. I'll also be spinning my usual stuff, so it should be another great Thursday night. See you there!
