Well, I'm finally getting around to digitizing my 700+ cassettes (at my wife's insistence--she wants them out of the house), so I'm going to start posting some goodies here. I taped many a show in the Toronto area from the late '80's to the late '90's, and also recorded a lot of radio broadcasts, mostly from CFNY, 102.1 in Toronto. Hope you stumble across something you like, or even a show you were at!
addendum: I have had many comments about the fate of my tapes, so for those worried about them...the masters I am boxing up and storing in my parents' basement. The others (mixed tapes, recorded LP's, etc) are getting tossed. My wife is not evil or insensitive--we live in a small place, and the many boxes were getting in the way. This is something I'VE wanted to do for awhile, as well. She just gave me the push. Oh, and she doesn't have shelves of makeup, or hundreds of shoes, no matter what stereotypes you care to buy in to. Her comic collection, however....
Buzzcocks--Lee's Palace, Toronto, Nov. 13, 1993
Playing to a packed house touring the Trade Test Transmission album. Kick ass show, I almost died when they did "I Believe"! The opening act was DJ Lebowitz, who plays punk covers on a keyboard in a lounge-type style. Funny for 5 minutes, then you get the joke. Anyway, he was playing a Buzzcocks song, and I started to get bored and look around, and I spy Pete Shelley standing at the door, with a bemused look on his face. I think he was deciding whether to laugh or not. I took my opportunity to speak with him, and get a couple of CD's signed. While he was signing TTT, he said "Oh, this is the import. It's coming out over here soon. More songs." Thanks Pete. After the show was over, people wouldn't leave. Pete had to come out and send us all home.
