Just discovered that Montreal has a tolerable radio station that isn’t top 40 or classic rock played over and over again.  Up until now my escape has been 999 the buzz (http://999thebuzz.com/) but that’s cheating because it’s based in Vermont and not Montreal- it’s mainstream alternative rock but it’s better than hearing Lady Gaga all day.  Anyways, back to my discovery.  I was on my way back from tennis in the car and I stumbled upon this AM station- 1690 called CJLO.  I heard that the current show was called “Burt Offerings”.  That was enough for me.  The DJ showed up late, sounded stoned out of his mind and the music was nothing short of a head-banger’s delight.  Their charts consist of indie and metal tunes and are inspiring to say the least.  You can listen online- http://www.cjlo.com/ 

Rock on.
