Yay! Welcome back... figures with my timing I'd send you the list when you weren't around. I see the spam has already disappeared too.

Yes, it's on several of the forums under at least two names. I've already written to "admin" but I don't think he's logged on here in nigh two months.

Charles...

It's on its way, four years late.

Live Earl Jive did it! List has been checked and uploaded and I hope it gets posted soon.

Never thought I'd see it done.

Still nothing. After a year since last contact, I wrote to the Live Earl Jive again a couple of days ago and no response.

Nope, no reply... yet. Last I heard he was busy with other projects which delayed him, plus he needed to find some of the material. I indicated to him to send me a list of what he was missing and I'd either have it or go hunting for it, but nothing so far. Still hoping. :) I'll definitely check out ...

Hey there Leona. I was going to write you as soon as I knew the details. :) If Live Earl doesn't post it here himself I'll be sure to. I was wondering how your project was coming along. What he's going to do is re-run that entire Top 1002 over a long weekend on his internet radio station, probably J...

My five-year quest may be at an end...

I wrote to the Live Earl Jive and I got a reply. He indicated that he has the list and will be sending it to Scott so it can get posted.

'Looking forward to it' is an understatement.

Just saw this on Google News so I headed over here. Very sad, especially that he was cut loose over some "restructuring" from a job he'd held all of his working life.

Edit: CFNY... er... 102.1TheEdge... now has a page up about him. http://www.edge.ca
It's already got 9 pages of comments.

Mr. Pot, The song is called "this holiday season" and it's neither Peter Murphy, nor Tom Waits, but a band called Porn Orchard Hmm... everyone knows that after passing through the internet, parody songs are supposed to be mis-attributed to Weird Al Yankovic, comedy sketches to Monty Python, and com...

Set your sights on this Exude - Boys just Wanna have Sex Hah... never thought I would ever hear that one again. Pity it's a vinyl rip but I'd be very surprised if that was ever digitized. :) Thanks for the blasts from the past. I downloaded all of them in this thread, and will be happily listening.

Thanks for clearing that up... not only was the altered list kept but it appears to have replaced the "official" one as it was the one that CFNY has, worked into the rest of the archived lists! Eventually I hope that someone at CFNY looks into the archives. I don't doubt that there's a printed copy ...

admin wrote:I've posted that (202 item) list on the Charts and Lists page, thanks!

Very nice.. thanks! I didn't know if it qualified, being incomplete, but now I know who to bother when it is. If I ever manage to get the entire list I'll ensure it's formatted like the 1999 one is .

Thanks for the suggestion. :) I wrote to Geets and he did reply but wasn't able to help. I also was able to contact a person who had indicated that they had a digital copy of the list, but that was way back in 1995 and they lost it long ago. So, as I've now put in enough effort for some official act...

Nice! I will be bookmarking those. Was a pleasant surprise to get a notification that this thread had updated after all this time.
