LICKETY SPLIT 3 LAUNCH DETAILS

Lickety Split # 3 Zine Launch!
The Goods, Sala Rossa 4848 boul. St Laurent
With an after party at Red Bird Gallery 152 Van Horne
April 29th, 10pm, $10.


Lickety Split is a smut zine that comes out once a year. Each long-awaited issue is a handcrafted/collaborative/sex-positive affair with sexy silk-screened covers: a total labour of love and lust. Issue #3 is the most thrilling, smuttiest and picture-filled issue yet! Lickety Split continues to be pansexual in its approach and content in order to cater to a diverse audience, acting as a platform for different tastes to mingle and collide. There are about 20 contributors who submitted to this issue including Astria Suparak, Billy Mavreas, Shannon Gerard, Sherwin Tjia, Anita Schoepp, Evie Farmer, Tom Fennario and many others.

Lickety Split is spreading its smutty little legs for a wider audience, branching out of indie-rockdom-art-schoolery with a dance floor show to change things up a bit! The Goods is put on by two solid Montreal DJs, Andy Williams and Scott C, and this evening features guest DJ Ty G (HVW8 from LA). Afterwards, folks can head over to Red Bird Gallery for some late, late night revelry.

See you there motherfuckers.
hearts,
Amber xo

AUDIOSMUT on CKUT!

Check it out! I'm the new co-host on the CKUT sex radio show AUDIOSMUT! The two other women who I am now in dirty partnership with are Sara and Stephanie. Together we kick out this monthly radio show, the first wednesday of every month from 6-7pm during the regularly scheduled Hersay hour!
So that means we're on air tomorrow, check out 90.3FM at 6pm or go online to visit CKUT to check out RSS feeds and archives.

Some of you may remember that I was intially interviewed on AUDIOSMUT about a month ago or so and now I'm moving up, baby. Since it's a monthly gig, we have been focussing our energies on crafting theme-based shows for the next 6 months, with titles like 'Going down on the aisle' and 'First Time for Everything'. Look out for flyers here and everywhere advertising these future shows!

Tomorrow's show will be a grab bag of music and short interviews and current affairs stuff as we will be focusing our energy on fundraising for the CKUT Annual Funding Drive. As you may remember, CKUT had a recent brush with radio death when McGill University initiated a referendum to see whether their student population wanted to continue to financially support the station. Thankfully people voted in favour of supporting the station. Here's more about the Funding Drive:


CKUT's 17th Annual Funding Drive - LiveWire
March 30 to April 9, 2006 - 30 mars au 9 avril, 2006

As CKUT steps into its 18th year on the frequency dial, many have come to call these walls home. CKUT has opened its doors to everyone, creating connections in every nook and cranny on the grand isle of Montreal. Individuals and organizations of the like have used CKUT as a stepping stone when no other avenue was open to them. Giving the support and encouragement that every person needs to flourish, CKUT has many success stories accredited to it.

With this success we honour those who have laid the groundwork and made CKUT who it is today. It is a lifeforce like no other-giving birth to new connections, allowing people of different walks of life to come together. As with most family units, ideas can sometimes collide, resulting into an atonal sound. However, when the brainwaves do connect a glorious sound can be heard from the top of the hill. The walls that hold up CKUT are as colourful as its history, leading listeners and its kin into another exhilarating 18 years.

Pledge online with the 2006 Funding Drive Secure Online Form or call 514.398.8991 to make your pledge over the phone.

A l'aube de sa 18ième année d'existence, Ckut est pour plusieurs une deuxième famille. Cette place privilégié, Ckut ce l'est mérité en gardant ses portes ouvertes à une diversité de Montréalais et de montréalaises de culture, de race et d'origine diverses. Ckut fut la pierre angulaire de plusieurs organisations et individus alors que l'on doutaient d'eux, ici ils ont reçu le support, les ressources et les encouragements nécessaires pour tout épanouissement. Ckut est donc fier d'avoir contribué à la mise sur pied de plusieurs projets qui furent des succès retentissants.

Ckut ne serait pas ce quelle est aujourd'hui sans reconnaître la contribution de ceux qui l'on bâtit au fils des ans. Ckut est un lieu de création et de vie comme peu, ici des réseaux d'entraide, de communications, d'actions et de créations se développent permettant à des gens de toutes les avenues d'échanger. Comme toutes les familles les idées ne sont pas partagés par tous et toutes mais elles sont entendues, respectés et un espace privilégié pour un vrai dialogue est créé.

Et , si vous écoutez bien, des miracles ont lieu sur les ondes lorsque des échanges véritables et authentiques ont lieu et que la vérité ce fait entendre grâce à la diversité des voix. L'histoire de Ckut est aussi coloré que celle de ces murs il n'en tient qu'a vous d'apporter votre touche personelle!

LICKETY SPLIT LAUNCH DATE IS SET!

Mark it down in your dayplanners: April 29th at Red Bird Studios. More details to cum!
