In an uncanny coincidence, the opening thunderclap on Psyche’s “Thundershowers In Ivory Towers” echoed a live one here in Florida. What can you expect when the set is so smoking hot it imitates reality? That’s what, along with some of the best, rare, and obscure 80’s tunes your ears have never heard.
Be sure to tune in to Ed and his “wow, I’ve never heard that before” 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.

Miss P., if you’ve got some time on a Friday night between 5-8pm PDT, have a listen to the “Impending Loom” on CHLY 101.7 FM from Nanaimo, BC. The first hour or so is pretty heavy funk, we get some ska going in the second hour, and we finish up with alt-80’s to close. Not nearly what Ed is doing at CFRC or what the Marsbar is up to, but we do try to capture some of that CFNY-style vibe!
Thanks so much for your blog, and all that you do to keep this music and these groups alive!

Heya DJ Doc – so nice to hear from you! I promise I will tune in for at least part of the show tonight. It sounds like it would be right up my alley. 🙂
All the best to you and I will also do my best to spread the word.
Cheers!
MissP
