here is the info file from Dime
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….
Skydiggers–"Pencil Mixes" Bedtracks April 1993
I’ve been waiting for this tape to pop up in my boxes. What we have here are unfinished tracks for the "Just Over This Mountain" album, including a bunch of songs that weren’t used. A lot of these track have a fragile beauty to them that is missing on the finished product. Don’t know the full lineage on these, other than the set list is in Merday’s handwriting. Sounds like 3rd or 4th gen to me. A real treat for Skydiggers fans, or collectors of Canadiana.
