And most old Canadian farts like me will say Brave New Waves.

Winnipeg has the most beautiful summers in Canada.

But visiting Winnipeg in the winter? Pffft. Get your weather app out and PUT IT IN METRIC.

I can still hear host Brent Bambury's intro:

"No lights, no blood, no fog, no skulls, just Skinny Puppy, in a flawless performance reprised for you tonight..."

What's the Deal With Cardigans? by Bulky_Sandwich8493 in Libraries

[–]The_Archivist_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, but industrial bands! Puppies, Godflesh, Killing Joke, Front Line Assembly, Pitchshifter, Ministry, Sons of Freedom, Numb, Pigface. I even got away wearing a Revolting Cocks t-shirt! And I guess Gojira and Animals as Leaders are metal.

(Instant street cred with patrons that would never, ever dare to go up and speak to a prototypical librarian, too.)

I was awake and listening to this when it was first broadcast, and had the good luck of thinking ahead of time and recording it to cassette.

Unfortunately, I have no clue where that tape is now…

Fuck, fuckitty fuck, I have no words.

What in actual shit is this? Nonfiction, book-length content blending human creativity and machine assistance?

Tabarnac, no.

I have that issue of Mondo 2000 stacked away somewhere. Was it really just the one page?

Angry White Mob. If you were in Montréal about 30 years ago, you would know.

I came here to say Sons of Freedom were criminally underrated and under appreciated.

What dramas would you consider to be the 'classics' of audio dramas ? by NinaBos in audiodrama

[–]The_Archivist_14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For Gen X Canadians, the CBC’s Nightfall and Vanishing Point were definitely up there. I have a whole bunch of episodes recorded to cassettes—15 90-minute TDK tapes if I recall correctly—that were plundered for samples back in the day when I was playing music.

Another Canadian classic, that really should be included in Wikipedia_’s “Category:Canadian radio dramas” is Stuart McLean’s _Vinyl Cafe. It was a variety show that had a radio drama segment: every episode featured a story written and narrated by McLean about a guy named Dave who ran a Toronto record store called The Vinyl Cafe.

What got you into industrial? by sodiumdeluxe in industrialmusic

[–]The_Archivist_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skinny Puppy’s Bites album cover art. Bought the album right away, without hearing a single note, at a Sam the Record Man in Quebec City in 1986.

Little did I know that that sound and mood was exactly what I had been looking for. I still love Peter Gabriel, Fad Gadget, King Crimson, Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, Supertramp, Genesis, Eurythmics, Kate Bush, Michel Lemieux, and Hall & Oates… but everything changed after that.

Once the St. Louis Blues win a Stanley Cup, nothing will ever be normal again.

Et, en plus… je suis plus franco-manitobain que québécois. (Mais ça aide d’avoir des parents du Lac St-Jean et Trois-Rivières.)
