R.I.P. Peter Steele

This week, one of metal's best front men passed away; Peter Steele of Type O Negative.
From a statement posted on the Type O Negative website by Josh, Kenny and Johnny, suspected cause of death is heart failure (many sites out there, including Wikipedia and IMDB were listing this as actual cause of death, even before his death was confirmed by the remaining members of Type O Negative).

From typeonegative.net:
"The official cause of death has yet to be determined pending autopsy results."


Peter's haunting and melodic voice will be sorely missed.

R.I.P. Peter, you've left us with some killer tunes.

'Satan Takes a Holiday' hit by CRTC (censorship) complaints

Help keep metal on the airwaves! Send a rebuttal to the CRTC (equivalent of the FCC in Canada) complaint received by 'Satan Takes a Holiday' and metal radio hostess, Miss Barbrafisch.



From Miss Barbrafisch:
"This generic letter is basically a support letter of the radio station in general for the public hearing regarding our license renewal. This one has to arrive by today; Monday, April 12, so please just copy, paste, sign and send to: cklnhearing@gmail.com . If you could include your mailing address too, that would be helpful, but not necessary."


SAMPLE LETTER:
To Whom It May Concern:

I believe CKLN is a valuable resource for information and music not readily available through mainstream media channels. I especially appreciate the coverage of underground metal music and community news provided by "Satan Takes A Holiday", hosted by Miss Barbrafisch weekly on Saturday nights.

I look forward to the continuation of this adventurous programming for years to come.

Sincerely,

[your name!]
