There's even a Canuck section from your truly.

Thanx for all the phone calls, emails, facebook messages and Heys!! All appreciated as that's what keeps the fires going!
Next week, we start a series of specials on The Last Pogo Jumps Again movie. It's a documentary of the Toronto and area punk scene from the very beginnings up until the Last Pogo event which happened in December 1978. The Last Pogo referred to the end of punk events happening at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto. It was a 2 night closing event and was filmed by Colin Brunton as a documentary, released for a very short time and then disappeared, returning several years back. This new movie covers the scene right up to the event with some coverage of the later scene. We're going to start next week's show covering the bands that led up to the scene and then the early Toronto combos. From there, we'll cover the later Toronto combos, then delve into the Hamilton and finally the London scene. I'll be digging through our archives for lots of unreleased recordings for this series of specials.
