Thanks for posting the archives. I used to love listening to Brave New Waves. I have missed the show. Yay.
Love this site. More Brave New Waves and Nightlines on the internet is a good thing. I have quite a bit of BNWs and NLs material on my Youtube site (mybikemybike). Unfortunately the sound quality is sometimes lacking due to old tapes. I will be uploading more BNW’s stuff, including lots of Brent Bambury conducted profiles in the next while. Glad to see this stuff up here.
This is great Doug – thanks for sharing your BNW pieces on your YouTube channel. I have a bunch more I hope to have here and at my radio archives page before the end of the week.
You are my favorite human being on earth right now – thanks for this! I miss this show so much.
More coming soon!
Thanks for sharing this great music. Like everyone else here, I miss that wonderful show!
Hi Geoff ~ glad you enjoy it, I have a bunch more I am going to put up at this site. Hopefully a collaborative site so fans can easily add and annotate archives as they emerge.
Thank you very much for these.
You are most welcome Alex – hope to collect more and keep them at this page.
I have these old tapes and some of the spotlights that were missing here
Art of Noise
Bjork The Sugarcubes
Timothy Findley interview
The Cure spotlight (I caught the end of it.)

The Smiths
B52s is there
There were many others I have to review my tapes.
I have digitized them to MP3 I may be able to upload some.
I used to miss the beginning or the end.
Brilliant! I’ll invite you to a Dropbox so you can send them my way.
I also remember listening to
but not recording spotlights on
Laybac
Classical music of Warnerbrothers
Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. (one of my tapes has the tail end of that show.)
Tom Waits
and others
The ones I have are tapes and not full complete recordings. I will have to link some of the major ones.
I have several almost full spotlights.
The Sugar cubes Inar Owen With Bjork
Art of Noise
and several others.
through out some of my mix tapes are snippets of Brent introducing bands like Shadowy men.
I will send you links I have to go through them.
Off the top I have these on my google drive

So happy to see this collection is growing. Loved this show but only started listening in 1999. Would someone be able to re-up the Beck profile? The link is dead. Also, I have some recordings from the 20th anniversary that I hope to digitize soon. Old interviews they replayed with Sugarcubes, Shadowy Men, Sonic Youth, Stephen Malkmus, Matmos, Sage Francis and some other hip-hop artists. Also have profiles of Buck 65 and Trans Am.
He Brian – Beck profile is re-linked http://networkeffects.ca/?page_id=1301
Really looking forward to hearing your archives!
Brave new waves. .. Augusta Lepay was queen of interviews . And so funny.
I could do it all again.
I remember this show when it first came out! I found it by accident listening to classical music in the evening. I couldn’t listen all the time but when I did, my mind was blown. cool. let’s see more archives!!
also, the one time I actually recorded the program with select songs one night I had a tape that I played the shit out of. alas, the cassette is long dead because it was cheap to begin with, but what joy that brought to me!
I haven’t been to this website in a while, but my modest collection of BNW recordings is what started it all – it’s great to see other people getting in on it. It is definitely my pleasure to be able to share this with other fans of the show. I was one of the few lucky American listeners that had access to the show, so being able to make it known to others was a dream of mine, to be honest.
I thought originally I had uploaded everything but there’s a few I found recently that I wanted to add and I will do so ASAP. One particular show I’ve been dying to hear is the one with the John Cage interview. If any of you have a recording of that (especially the original 1989 broadcast), please share that with us!
Incredible timing that you should leave this comment today. I just started importing a massive collection to a dedicated content management system and the submissions I have been receiving have far outpaced my blog. It is unfolding at http://audio.networkeffects.ca … still lots of uploading to do … over 50GB of archives!
Seconding a request for the John Cage interview. That made big impression on me as a younger person, and I remember it as being very funny.
hey there..i’m looking for a Do make say think show i heard on brave new waves around 98/99?
Don’t have that once I’m afraid, but do check out audio.networkeffects.ca – tons of new stuff ever couple weeks
I loved this show. discovered a lot of great music.
I will always remember the Spoken Word that Patti and Brent played. Henry Rollins, Penny Arcade, and other slam poets of the time.
This show warped my cassette head
This clip has a question from the audience from Filthy Rich, AKA Buck 65. He admits his love for vinyl It is funny how Bambury brushes him off. “Do you have a Social Insurance Number?”
Who would know that years later Rich Terfry would work for the CBC
I started recording the show to hifi VHS in the late 90s. I have several complete shows, and even more partial ones. I have no idea where to start with digitizing them. It seems like an enormous amount of data. Perhaps I’ll start by looking for that domakesaythink episode mentioned above. Glad to see there are others who still remember how great radio could be.
Right on! I’d love to hear your recordings – if you ever digitize them I’d be happy to share them out at https://audio.networkeffects.ca
@rmarmei
I remember the BNW feature on the B-52s…from the summer of 1987. Looks like your’s was an update done after “Cosmic Thing” was released. The 1st half of Brent’s script is identical!!
Just discovered this site after finding a few cassettes I made of BNW in the mid-nineties. I only heard the Patti Schmidt era, had no idea of the long history of the show. What I heard was the best radio program in my life!
Anyway I could get copies of more,,?
Is there some current form of this archive lurking on the web (YouTube, etc.)?
I have some tapes of shows as well. I would love for that searchable playlist archive to be actually working. I’m interested in searching songs I remember hearing.
Thanks for this. Before I found Brave New Waves Nightlines and CJAW in 1987, I thought that there wasn’t contemporary music that was worth listening to. These programs were necessary as an alternative to the crap that was played on commercial radio.
Thanks. Still thinking about BNW almost monthly. Miss the show so much. I have a bunch BNW tapes and Radio Sonic tapes in my closet. Also formed the David Wisdom fan club on Facebook. Willing to share tapes if someone can digitize. Really wish Patti would start a podcast. I would love to crowdfund for a BNW podcast. I am Radiosonicfan on Instagram. Feel free to send a DM.
