  • I used to adore this radio station - I refuse to call it by name as the station I grew up with and loved was called CFNY 102.1 (its call letters), not "The Edge". Ew. Anyway, in the late 80s/early 90s CFNY used to play amazing music. Joy Division, The Cure, Happy Mondays, Sisters Of Mercy, EMF, Nirvana, Exploited, etc. Basically tons of British music and lots of hard rock but with variety. None of the pansy lameoid 30-something wank crap they play now (wow, bitter??). As Melissa J said, it caters to 35 year old angsty white dudes who may or may not still live at home. It's kind of been a sad degeneration. I remember taping hours and hours of CFNY segments - they used to have an annual show called "The Top 1002 Songs Of All Time" that I documented in a notebook and recorded on cassette. I still have those cassettes. The Smiths, Joy Division, New Order and The Clash were all on there. And they released an album every year compiling the year's best music - kind of like a Big Shiny Tunes, but good. I miss those days. Nowadays you'd be hard pressed to go 30 minutes without hearing the same song at least twice (one of those songs will be by Airborne Toxic Event, Mute Math, Metric - who I love, don't yell!! - Sam Roberts or Billy Talent). [Oh, lo and behold, I just went to their website and looked, and they played four of those bands in the past 30 minutes. NO JOKE. Go look.] By far the two most loathsome and despicable things about The Edge are: 1. Dean Blundell - just a horrific show. Incredibly sexist, NOT funny and rude. His column/advertorial in Eye Weekly makes me insane. I want to gouge out my eyes whenever I brush past it. 2. Inside Edge interns. They're everywhere. And annoying. The one thing that saves this station is Alan Cross. "The Ongoing History Of New Music" is required listening, but I can easily acquire the podcast without having to turn on the radio station, thankfully.
