Ongoing History of New Music Curiouscast

I lived in Buffalo, NY during the 90’s and early 00’s and never missed this show on Sunday nights when it aired on Toronto’s 102.1 CFNY. When I moved out to the west coast after college, I felt an immediate void! Until I found the streamable shows on the CFNY website, which disappeared shortly after I discovered them. I can’t tell you how THRILLED I am that these are now in the form of podcasts. Alan Cross is a music-history god and has a delivery that rivals even the most accomplished musicians when masterfully weaving these tales. The topics range from the history of individual bands to cult music phenomena to technological advancement in music. You will not be disappointed.

If you like Music this is the podcast for you .Alan cross’ knowledge and passion for alt rock is amazing. You should definitely check it out, scroll through find an episode and you’ll be sucked right in. Next thing you know, you will have listened to all the available episodes, and you’ll be impatiently waiting for next weeks episode.

While this podcast has good information, glaring omissions (discussing Björk & mot mentioning Gling Glo?) and embarassing mispronounciations (Bauhaus) ultimately make it feel like Wikipedia read aloud.
