Premiere: Stretch It To The Limit

Welcome to Max Joy Radio - a corresponding blog to a music variety show called Maximum Joy on CHRW 94.9FM!


This is the playlist for the very first edition of Maximum Joy - a 2 hour program on London, ON's campus community station 94.9FM CHRW! Having just broadcasted the premiere episode, I am filled with enthusiasm and zest for the music shown in the playlist below. Listen online or even download the show if you missed it!


Helping to provide "the cure for corporate radio", I am extremely thrilled to officially join the on air team at CHRW after having left my home station CJAM 99.1FM and CJAMmer family in Windsor(/Detroit). This format of this page will somewhat model the radio blog for the Washing Machine - an hour and a half indie rock and punk program I used to co-host with current CJAM DJ Clara Musca...one I will always consider a sister show to my own! Canadian artists will be marked with a star (*) and album covers (especially vinyls) will be featured as visual accompanyment to the musical playlist each week. Music videos, album reviews and featured artists will also occasionally make an appearance on this blog. Thank you CHRW for welcoming me to project information, opinion, expression and sound across your air waves! Remember, you can always download a show you've missed up to a week after its been broadcasted! Streaming online is always available wherever you are at http://www.chrwradio.com/
