Should be called “A Year (maybe more) Or So Behind”
A DJ or Exec from WLIR must’ve taken a vacation to LA about one or two or three years? after KROQ was already giving New Wave/Punk/Ska/PowerPop it’s proper due. Taking credit as though WLIR is the first, and not giving credit to the original radio stations (KROQ in LA) that broke these bands is just a pat-on-the-own-back-Sham, especially to people who might be taking it in as the truth. The other review referencing the station as “Late to the Party” nailed it. Gave 3 stars for content and love of the genre, but it’ll get exposed…Adam Carolla’s upcoming doc about KROQ will provide the accurate timeline for New Wave and will be understood as the truth.
Parallel development …
I echo the sentiment of the Southern California reviewers. “New Wave” music was introduced into North America in many locations in parallel. We had a local university radio station playing this music circa 1977-78. It took a while for the mainstream FM stations to introduce this music to their playlists but it was here and available for listening well before 1982 on FM radio, TV and album imports. I suppose it was a gamble for an FM radio station to go full New Wave in 1982 but certainly not pioneering as this documentary alludes to.The documentary was somewhat confusing, jumping all over the place with respect to artists and dates. Information presented chronologically would have been clearer.
