Return To Space
On April 17 at midnight EDT, XM Liquid Metal resumed broadcasting on channel 42. This was part of 10 new channels by XM in a push to be the satellite radio provider with the highest amount of commercial-free music channels, since they are no longer able to claim 100% commercial free music. XMLM re-launched by playing a montage of angry callers and the first song was Slayer-Payback. Ward Cleaver returned to XMLM along with Boneyard DJs Manny, Taz and Coolguy. Manny has since left XM, along with Taz. Katie Brutal has also joined and hosts Mercury at 6pm EST.
On December 11, 2007, Liquid Metal was taken hostage by Psychostick, Screaming Mechanical Brain and Indorphine. The bands took over Ward Cleaver's show as one of their stops on the Holiday Hate Tour. During this time Ward insisted the bands all get drunk via the Black Tooth Grin. Psychostick also recorded some live tracks which, after being mixed and mastered, will become part of Liquid Metal's arsenal of trophy gems.

Famous quotes containing the words return to, return and/or space:
“The chickadee and nuthatch are more inspiring society than statesmen and philosophers, and we shall return to these last as to more vulgar companions.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The future of humanity is uncertain, even in the most prosperous countries, and the quality of life deteriorates; and yet I believe that what is being discovered about the infinitely large and infinitely small is sufficient to absolve this end of the century and millennium. What a very few are acquiring in knowledge of the physical world will perhaps cause this period not to be judged as a pure return of barbarism.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
“The limitless future of childhood shrinks to realistic proportions, to one of limited chances and goals; but, by the same token, the mastery of time and space and the conquest of helplessness afford a hitherto unknown promise of self- realization. This is the human condition of adolescence.”
—Peter Blos (20th century)
