The first clip was recorded in 1980 and the first two tracks were taken from CFNY.  The new wave era music that comes next was taken from a Buffalo NY  station, WBUF FM, and a show called Anything That’s Rock’n Roll.  Interesting to note that one of the “new wave” acts played is actually Peter Noone of Herman’s Hermits with his cover of Elvis Costello’s Green Shirt. The last segment on the clip featuring early Marc Bolan with T Rex and John’s Children was taken from Toronto college station CKLN.

The second clip was taken from CFNY  in 1980 and it has a small snippet of one of my favorite  announcers on that station  “The Live Earl Jive” saying goodbye to his sidekick Beverley Hills at the start.

You can hear a longer set with Earl Jive on the sixth clip here

DJ’s will return in full force next post.
