CHSR Creates New Weekly On-Air Music Column

Posted on by Posted in Announcements, Homemade Jams, Music Reviews, Spotlight

There is so much amazing music being created inMusic Column our own backyards. CHSR wants to help highlight some of the albums/EPs being submitted to their Music Department! Erin Bond, aka Bondo, current CHSR Station Manager, has been a musicoiphile her entire life. She was introduced to CHSR back in 2011 when a friend mentioned a place where you could volunteer to listen to music, it sounded too good to be true. After her initial visit Bondo became a devoted music reviewer, listening to on average about 25 new albums per week, and hasn’t left CHSR’s music library since.

To take over from What Is CHSR Listening To, Bondo has created a weekly on-air music column showcasing a new Canadian release that will air Mondays at noon on The Lunchbox. Join Bondo and Mark the Encaffeinated ONE each week and potentially discover your new favourite band.

You can visit our donation page to see the full details of ways to donate, but here’s the rundown on a couple of things you can be involved with:

  • Crowdfunding on IndieGoGo! We’re doing an ultra-short campaign — just one week! — and your donations can get you really cool perks, from t-shirts, hoodies, and even a reminder on our Wall of Awesome Donors (name still being worked out…).
  • Online Art Auction! A number of the volunteers and staff have put together some cool, hand-made, one-of-a-kind art which you can own! Take a piece of CHSR-related passion home!
  • 12-Hour Radiothon! We’ve gathered together a crew of different show hosts to do an all-day live show! It starts at 10am and ends at 10pm, with shifts every couple of hours. Tune in on November 18 and hear shout-outs and special programs!
  • Of course, you can always tune in to your favourite shows and listen to their reasons why you should support the station. What’s more, if you donate and let us know which show is your favourite, we’re planning some sort of prize for the show or host with the most donations. So, show your support, give them a warm, fuzzy feeling and maybe even a prize!
