history of this site
|
This site was first
created in 1998 as a small collection of articles and pictures, created
by Wes Reimer. Wes was not able to keep the site hosted as it was,
so in fall of November 2000, Scott MacLean took over the content of
the site. Scott redesigned the site, added audio content, and
started growing it. Since then Scott has added many features,
including testimonials, song ID's, a forum, and a huge amount of
archived audio and pictures. The site is truly a labour of love for
Scott, and he is gratified by the outpouring of emotion and memories
it generates. Most of all he was thrilled to play a part in the
creation of the 2003 Spirit Reunion.

Scott is a former professional club DJ who,
like many of the people visiting this site, discovered CFNY in
the very early 1980's. Inspired by the diverse and unique
music being played on CFNY, he and a partner started a small
DJ business concentrating on alternative music. The business
quickly grew beyond their wildest expectations. After two
years, Scott's partner went on to live music production while
Scott moved into the Toronto clubs. While working at some of
the larger dance clubs in Toronto, Scott also managed a short
stint as an overnight board-op at his beloved CFNY.
Now working as an independent consultant in the IT
industry, Scott keeps his ties with music, remixing tracks for
various artists including Heaven 17, and assisting in the
release of the long-lost Scary Thieves album. He has won rave
reviews for his recently remixed version of XRV for Denver synthpop outfit The Dignity of
Labour.
