The Wavelength
Monday August 7th, 2023 with Dave Alburger
mid summer madness!

This is the 31st anniversary of when I did my first show on CKCU fm. It was the summer of 1992 which was a very exciting period for rock music at that time. Alternative rock, grunge rock, different kinds of jazz, rap and hip hop were gaining popularity at that time. I was golden age for university and community radio stations were on the rise in North America I had grand plans to play many of the same tunes that I played that night 31 years ago, but I could not find the cassette I had made that night! So I only remember for sure a couple of the songs I played that night. So I'll play them at some time this evening.

Dave, congrats on 31 years. Einstürzende Neubauten (incl. Haus der Lüge) made a mark on me in the late 1980s.
