Lowdown Radio Classic: January 6, 2009

While the next episode of The Lowdown is being scrambled together at the last possible second, let’s rewind the clocks one year. The next show will be the annual year in review. So what better time to review the crews’ predictions for 2009 than when they wrap the year up? On this vintage episode, Steve, his cousin, and The Enge review Rock Band 2. Steve even tries his hand at playing a real guitar after playing the video game axe. In the news, the guys talk about the best-selling 2009 calender on Amazon and why New Year’s Resolutions are bad. Steve debuts his short-lived Money Matters segment. Entertainment features two singles and Jackie’s preview of the winter TV season. After all of that, they finally get to the year in review portion of the show with the top stories of 2008 and predictions for 2009. The night is capped off with the second annual Lowdown Awards show.

Lowdown Radio Classic: December 23, 2008

It’s Christmas Day but that doesn’t mean that today’s vintage episode of The Lowdown is an old Christmas special. In fact, it’s our year-old Festivus special. On this episode of the show, the guys celebrate Festivus in the traditional way. It starts with the Festivus feast prepared by Jackie. They follow this up with their airing of grievances. There’s even a recap of Steve and Jackie’s Christmas carolling adventure. Along the way, the guys drop in some really weird music including the Festivus Song and Bob & Doug McKenzie’s 12 Days of Christmas. The show ends with the feats of strength in which Jackie attempts to pin Steve to end Festivus.

The Lowdown Radio: December 22, 2009

With Christmas just a couple of days away, it was time for the annual Lowdown Christmas Special. Last year’s Festivus show had some weird Christmas music, so the guys decided that they could do a full episode of weird and wacky Christmas music. There are a lot of bands that you’ve heard of that have made bad Christmas music and the gang has found some pretty embarrassing entries into their musical repertoires. There are seven weird songs on tonight’s episode.

Lowdown Radio Preview: December 22, 2009

In exactly 48 hours until the final episode of The Lowdown of 2009. It’s our annual Christmas special episode. This year it’s our choices for the weirdest and wackiest of Christmas music. Unlike the episode of The Lowdown Extra that we posted last week, this episode is packed with Canadian content for a time of year that seems like a typical Canadian postcard. So tune in with the family and sing along… Or at least have a laugh at some of the ridiculous songs that we dug up.

The show goes live at around 6:30 PM Eastern. If you’re in the London, ON, listening area, you can listen live on 94.9 FM. You can also listen online at CHRWradio.com/listen.

The Lowdown Extra: December 17, 2009

Tonight’s special episode of The Lowdown Extra was originally going to be the Lowdown Christmas Special. It was rejected because there wasn’t enough Canadian content but that doesn’t mean that we can’t run it online. This special online exclusive features our choices for the weirdest Christmas music out there. It’s 32 minutes and eight songs of head-scratching Christmas music and Lowdown insanity. As usual, all the action comes to you uncut and uncensored.
