For those who are lamenting the cancellation of the greatest radio program this country(Canada)has ever produced, please be advised that I am uploading episodes for download on http://thepiratebay.org. I’m not very good at this, and can probably only do one or two episodes per day, and hopefully I am doing it correctly. I only have about 50 shows in total from the past few years, so please – if you have any shows that you have converted to MP3, please upload them. There is a good tutorial on how to do this here http://forum2.youceff.com/showthread.php?p=65604.

That’s awesome. Brave New Waves was totally a force for good and it’s sad to see it go. I have two anecdotes to share about Brave New Waves:
1. I once won a Brave New Waves t-shirt in a contest to insult host Patti Schmidt.
2. I crashed my car into a deer during a Brave New Waves profile on Momus many years ago.

I’ve been wondering for a week now – just what was your insult to Patti Schmidt?

I can’t remember actually. It was a long paragraph rant. I think I called her a spoon-bender. It was all pretty joking and affectionate because I think she’s awesome.

I will be eventually getting a cassette tape drive for my computer so I can record my old BNW tapes to my hard drive. I would gladly upload some of the old BNW programs once I get the drive. Here’s a random link to the drive I was references. I don’t want my tapes to die due to constant play like some of my old david wisdom tapes.

That’s cool, let me know how that goes, I’d be interested in hearing some classic BNW episodes.

aren’t the episodes streamable from the cbc website? you can always rip them from the web using audacity.

I don’t know where you heard that, static, but that’s not the case at all. If it was true, this topic wouldn’t be here, I don’t think. But, I’d doubly love some older BNW shows, since I have heard much of the more recent ones, and the first time I ever listened to the show was around ’91 or ’92. If anybody’s willing to put up a show from that period, that would be so awesome. I remember one show that had Serge Gainsbourg and Chic in one set, and I thought, “this is the greatest thing EVER”… even though I had no idea who they were at the time being only 13, hehe. Seriously, if it’s possible, make it happen! Since March, I haven’t given a damn about CBC anymore, and it hurts me.

I never got into BNW but would be eager to check out at a podcast if that rumour turns out to be true – in fact, I’m discovering all kinds of CBC radio goodness now that more and more of it is liberated from time slots via podcasting.
I do have a bunch of .mp3s that I found on some P2P network of a Buck 65 set with no more information than being titled “Live on Brave New Waves”. If anyone wants them I could email them or something similar…

I think I’ve got a Tricky Brave New Waves set on cassette somewhere.
Padraic: it was a pretty great show. Sort of ridiculous in its eclecticism. I’d say it was ahead of its time because it would probably be the most popular podcast ever right now.
I remember one episode where there was like a half hour long recording of music made with a squeaky wooden chair. When I was 19 and it was 3AM, that was pretty mind-blowing.
