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:
“Retirement requires the invention of a new hedonism, not a return to the hedonism of youth.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“... in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquillity will return again.”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
“Not so many years ago there there was no simpler or more intelligible notion than that of going on a journey. Travel—movement through space—provided the universal metaphor for change.... One of the subtle confusions—perhaps one of the secret terrors—of modern life is that we have lost this refuge. No longer do we move through space as we once did.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
