Ed opened with a rare and simply fantastic tune by Benjamin Russell, this week’s featured artist on Rave and Roll. Fittingly enough, he followed it with a song that Benjamin cited as a major musical influence. Tonight was also an obscure music fan’s dream….Ed had a message for SoCan by playing uber-obscure Canadian content – and we loved every minute of it!

Be sure to tune in to Ed and his ”in your face, Socan!” 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.
