Sweet Static

Yes, another mp3 blog. Trying to share what I like with the world. The music here is for sampling only and are up for a limited time. It's simple really you see. If you like the music then go out and support the artists. Buy a cd/mp3/eight track, make a request on radio, see them live, tell others about it. This way this wonderful medium hopefully won't be stomped on.

Location: Windsor, Ont, Canada

Sweet Static is an mp3 blog that allows me to share the music I love and also to point out other cool things around the internet that catch my attention. It is also a place where I can talk about my radio show by the same name, now on Thursday nights from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm on CJAM 91.5 FM in Windsor, Ontario. Got something I should hear? Email me at sweetstatic @ gmail.com. All comments left here are emailed to my inbox, so you can get a hold of me that way also. You can also follow the show/me on twitter at sweetstaticcjam.

Interview With Joan Jett

A couple of days ago I posted about The Hour and Operation Disc Dropi. I've been really watching the hour and have enjoyed some of the interviews. This week they're in rerun so I get to see one with Joan Jett. Some really good stuff in it. and in checking out the website for the above mentioned post I saw that a lot of the interviews they have are up on the site. So I thought I'd put the link up here.

To watch The Hour's interview with Joan Jett go here.

They showed clips of the video for her cover of The Replacements' "Androgynous" so I thought I'd throw that up as well.
