Hey loyal readers, the next newsletter installment has arrived! First and foremost, we'd like to thank every customer and distributor who helped to make Triple J's first Christmas season the best ever! Your support means the world to us!

THIS JUST IN - Triple J's has just received a variety of 250 dance/techno cd's sure to make your body drop! These cd's are in mint condition, brought in by a local pro DJ who is looking to purge his long-time collection. You can find the rarest of the rare here - you won't even believe it! First come, first served...and money talks, baby!

We've got a new art exhibit in store - come check out Gisli's very sexy collection! Also, Gisli and his Yukon crew are leaving on Sunday for yet another ice sculpting competition in Italy. This is the first stop in a three country tour: after two weeks in Italy, Team Yukon will venture back to Quebec for the Canadian Ice Sculpting championships, then off to Japan for another World competition. Please help to support our local World champions by coming in-store to purchase a $5 pin, designed by Team Yukon. Every little bit helps!

Dance Nation Clothing ("DNC"), one of our in-house designers, has just brought in 50 new pieces of uber-cool clothing. Lotsa tie-dye ladies shirts of all colours...oh so cool...come in before they're oh-so-gone! Any of these funky one-of-kind, black-light responsive shirts or skirts would be perfect for the upcoming rave! All shirts are $15 or under!

Afourtrackmind's vinyl collection is now out for your listening and purchasing pleasure. Sorry about the delay folks, but genrelizing, cleaning and pricing 500+ LP's during the Christmas season ain't the easiest thing to accomplish! (phewf!) Check out the DJ vinyl rack, and look for the "JI" on the price tag!

Please note that Triple J's Music Cafe is also accepting donations to the Red Cross in-store - the more we can raise prior to January 11, the more the Government will match. Please give generously.

In the coming months, you, the HONOURABLE TRIPLE J's MEMBER, will receive a membership card, which will give you in-store discounts and access to the ripest shows in town! Other benefits and privileges of this sacred membership to be announced...

For those of you local Yukoners with some musical talent, of any medium - listen up! Do you record your performances? Do have a cd of your performances? Do you have unique music you would like heard on the radio? Do you enjoy sample and collage pieces? Have you the WILL to be heard on the radio? Strangethingsdone.com, your alternative connection in Whitehorse, operates an indie radio station, and is willing to showcase any DJ or any Yukon musician! It is looking for individuals with enough interest to set up a daily hour-long showcase of Yukon DJ's/musicians and their work, upcoming performances and interviews with various local artists. For more information, contact Bill at strangethingsdone@hotmail.com or check out CJUC 92.5! They are committed to exposing Yukon artists to a wider audience!!

Long live the music,

Jordi and Jeremy Jones
