Ed was out of the gate in a major rocking frenzy. Yello started the night on track with a scorcher called “Si Senor The Hairy Grill.” Then, Ed played a tune I never would have guessed in a million years was by Icicle Works. Called “Shit Creek,” it melted the paint off my walls – definitely a far cry from “Whisper To A Scream.” And what can I say about the acoustic version of Gary Numan’s “Jo The Waiter” – my heart was beating so fast with love, I thought I’d have to call 911.

Be sure to tune in to Ed and his “betcha never heard this one” 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.
