 <\/p>\n

Last year I dug into Have Not Been The Same<\/a> – making a bunch of notes in a post<\/a>. \u00a0I am happy to report the I found my large box of cassettes with hundreds of hours of radio from some of my favorite programs in the 1990’s.<\/p>\n

I don’t look at my Google Analytics on this blog all that often, but the last time I checked I noted that a great deal of my Google traffic is driven by searches for ‘nightlines’ ‘brave new waves’ ‘old cbc radio’ search terms. \u00a0 Seems like there are lots of people \u00a0looking for some old CBC archives. \u00a0While the CBC Digital Archives have some great audio and video in their online collections<\/a>\u00a0they wrap it all in Flash players and offer no direct way<\/em> to download pieces. \u00a0Copyright restrictions likely prevent them from digitizing a great deal of the music program archives.<\/p>\n

So, I’m going to do my little part here to digitize all my tapes and host them here for friends and passersby. This will likely be a long, ongoing project but I am really looking forward to\u00a0re-broadcasting<\/a>, archiving, and listening to all these time capsules. \u00a0I will throw up a new post each time I get another archive together, but will also attempt to date and catalog them all here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first one up for offer is the last hour of Nightlines’ Final broadcast, August 31, 1997. \u00a0I’ve gushed in the past over my reverence for Wisdom’s radiocraft, but here is that excerpt again:<\/p>\n

Wisdom also invited the audience to write theme songs for the program, inspiring four-track weirdos from across the country to submit their work, such as Norm from Richmond. The most prolific Night Lines composers were the Ween-ish Maurice Pooby from Cortez Island and a woman named Eve Rice, from Winnipeg, who also fronted a band called Vav Jungle. More well-known bands also recorded material exclusively for Night Lines, when the show picked up on Brave New Waves\u2019 lead and started recording sessions at the CBC Vancouver studio in 1991. Between then and the show\u2019s demise in 2007, over 60 bands were captured; the last session was the Rheostatics, which aired on the show\u2019s final broadcast on August 30, 1997, and was later released on DROG records. They became the band that started the Brave New Waves sessions and closed the Night Lines sessions. \u201cI loved that,\u201d enthuses Wisdom, who had been one of the Rheostatics\u2019 biggest champions since their debut album. \u201cThe session made me think that [ Night Lines ] had a purpose to it and had been worthwhile and was a part of something going on in Canadian music.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
