We listened to music on vinyl and then cassette.
Punk died the first of many deaths.
New Wave was born.
D.O.A. invented "hardcore".
Chris
Kelly was born.
Hair-Metal took up residency in the stadiums of the earth.
Brave New Waves and
Nightlines ruled the late night airwaves on CBC Radio. I
lost my
virginity.
Yes, it all happened in the
1980s.
This week, another extremely special
Rewind edition of the
CBC Radio 3 podcast, celebrating Canada's independent music of the
Rubik's Cube decade.
Music scenes were separated by
mountain ranges,
prairies and
the Canadian Shield, with no internet or
Facebook to unite them, only a postage
stamp and a rotary phone.
For the first time ever, CBC Radio 3 unites Canada's
independent music of the 1980s all in one place.
This is history. From the
glitter punk of Vancouver's
Slow to the lost
genius of Calgary's
Color Me Psycho, to the Hamilton party-rock of
Teenage Head and Toronto's misunderstood synth-pop prodigies
Blue
Peter,
it's all here in one playlist!
We'll also have a Canadian Dictionary with
DOA, an
Occupational Hazard with
the Modernettes and an interview with
Gerard Van Herk
of
Og Records and
Deja Voodoo. So whether this show serves as a reminder or an
introduction, we hope you enjoy hitting
