The heat continues across the continent, and sometimes I really think Ed-FM is single-handedly the reason.
“Everything’s Gone Green” describes the eco-friendly natural wattage he produces every Tuesday from Kingston,
Ontario. Don’t believe it? Give it a listen for yourself.

Tune in to Ed and his “not afraid of obscure” 80’s Retrospect show on CFRC-FM from 8 pm until 10 pm on Tuesday nights. Ed takes requests by phone: (613) 533-CFRC (2372) or email: retrospectcfrc at yahoo dot ca. Indulge yourself in some “80’s Music that doesn’t suck.” I guarantee die-hard 80’s New Wave/post-punk fans will not be disappointed.

Love is in the air, and it was definitely being broadcast from Kingston, Ontario. Ed-FM had his mojo going with a delightful assortment of obscure 80s, a perfect mix to get us in the mood. Who needs roses and chocolates once a year when you can have Ed-Fm live over streaming internet every Tuesday night? Wouldn’t have it any other way!

Some of the funding is a result of the hard work of musicians that have committed to donating their time and talent to create tracks for sale. Proceeds are then channeled into the Access 2 project. Bobbi, himself a wildly gifted singer/songwriter who started out as a vital part of the 80s goth/new wave scene (and continues to record to this day), has loaned his enormous talent to several tracks that are now available for purchase on iTunes.

Do yourself a huge favor; if you haven’t already done so, check out the whirlwind known as Bobbi Style. Then, do two very positive things with your money: purchase some great music for your library, and help support a worthy project created to ensure that all musicians have the chance to keep our world full of the music we love.

It was a banner night on the airwaves tonight. Ed-FM had an intriguing announcement to share–on Valentine’s Day, anyone who donates $50.00 or more towards keeping the music alive on CFRC will get to spend the night spinning vinyl with him. If I lived just a little closer–oh, say, about 1500 miles closer–I would definitely be tempted.

Tune in to Ed and his “my kingdom for a vinyl platter” 80’s Retrospect show on CFRC-FM from 8 pm until 10 pm on Tuesday nights. Ed takes requests by phone: (613) 533-CFRC (2372) or email: retrospectcfrc at yahoo dot ca.

The freeform sounds that reached the night-blooming jasmine-tinged SoFla airwaves tonight were ripe with vital tuneage, reminding us all that we are, indeed, alive. It’s hard to imagine a world devoid of such magic,especially when it validates our existence and the very stuff we’re made of.

Heartfelt thanks to Nowhereman/Blogger Andrew who sent me the BDS list from 10 pm until midnight. That means there are only a few song titles missing from the Saturday night extravaganza.
