AGATA DE SANTIS LEAVING UNDERGROUND SOUNDS

This month, I am celebrating 15 years as host and producer of CKUT's Underground Sounds. I started as a wide-eyed McGill University student discovering the world of Canadian independent music, grateful that there something better out there than Top 40. CKUT was in the basement of McGill's Student Union building then. Our studio was the size of a small closet, and we were playing ads off radio carts. There was no MySpace or Facebook. There were no iPods. Yes, it was THAT long ago.
And yet, it feels like just yesterday... After thousands of albums and hundreds of interviews, it's time to pass the torch to the next generation of wide-eyed music lovers. It's been an amazing run. Lots of great music, and lots of fun interviews.
August 30th will be my last show, and I will try to keep the tears to a minimum. It's been an honour and a privilege to be part of the CKUT family. Thanks for listening!
