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....


Joan Osborne--Phoenix, Toronto, April 11, 1996 FM Broadcast

Another RealTime show from the CBC, here is Joan Osborne during her brief period of popularity. This is an artist who really deserved better--when her label's quick cash-in ploy of releasing a collection of demos and indie recordings after her breakthrough album didn't see the sales they expected, they just stopped promoting her. I see she still has a following here on DIME, though.
