It was a glorious spring-like day in Ontario and to celebrate, Ed-FM started out the evening with an XTC two-fer. For the next two hours the obscure hits-that-should’ve-been just kept on rolling non-stop out of the speakers. Imagine St. Patty’s Day Eve even more festive, decked out with tunes that our 80’s-hungry ears thanked us for.

 Be sure to tune in to Ed and his “better than a St. Patty’s Day celebration” 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.
