About Us

Me and Tom (I’m Craig), we are the 68Comeback Special which is, first and foremost, our radio show on good ol’ CJSR-FM in Edmonton, AB, Canada. That’s Thursday afternoons from 3 to 5 pm, pilgrim. 

This blog? Quite frequently it’s about our radio show because as far as we’re concerned, just about everything in the world is about our radio show. But it doesn’t have to be, you know; Tom’s a writer and I am too, we’ve got a variety of interests and you shouldn’t pigeonhole us, okay? If there’s anything you should be doing, at the very least it should be going to that RSS feed button and subscribing to this blog, or sending us (especially me) money.

  1. Hey guys, I had someone call the station and ask a question about your show. He’d like to know the name of the song with the lyrics “cool guys outside come to jump on your couch”. Frankly, so would I. Write me an email and I’ll give you his contact info. Thanks! ~Laura C. of Adamant Eve (Shameless plug: Listen to Adamant Eve Fridays at 5:30!)

      “It’s the Cool Kids, and we’re here to jump on your cooouch.”
      That was the Cool Kids, “Popcorn,” from, uh, an album that’s either not come out yet, or maybe it came out a long time ago… called “Gone Fishing,”…So yeah, so um, make sure to check that out.

    Craig,

    I just have a quick question for you but couldn’t find an email so had to resort to this. I am a progressive blogger. Please email me back at barbaraobrien@maacenter.org when you get a chance. Thanks.

    Barbara

  4. You guys once played a song off of my ‘sSs’ EP, and I was wondering if you might enjoy a track or two off my new album, ‘POST NAMERS.’

    download it at: http://www.mediafire.com/?o785qn7ypc76f9g

    stream it at: http://matthewawilkinson.bandcamp.com/album/post-namers

    thanks and much love.

    It would appear that NIN have chosen Autolux to open their show here, so no Explosions in the Sky or God Speed you Black Emperor for us!
    Have a great show, Regards, ken

    You’ve shown much love for the Marvelous Beauhunks and we appreciate it! We would like to share an advanced digital copy of our new song release with the “Friends of the MBH” on 68comeback special.

  5. My name’s John and I play upright bass For the Band Sam Spades. In a nut shell we are a roots rockabilly band. We are from Edmonton and are having our ep release January 31st at the Pawn shop. The Frolics are also releasing an album at the same show. I’m going to drop a copy of our disc off at the station. Check it out! If you would play it on your show that would be awesome!

    The show’s 10 bucks, which is not free but considering there are four bands on the bill it’s a pretty sweet deal! The other bands are AKU AKY and Bryan Coffey and the Best Friends. All bands are from Edmonton! And all band members are nice people!

    Thanks,

    John
