The R3-30 Podcast: Monday, June 18, 2007

Posted by Craig Norris on Jun 18, 2007

Sailors, talking garbage cans, The Seven Wonders of the CBC, and men named "Carmen (or Carman)"; these are but four of the heady issues that we tackle on The R3-30 Podcast this week. Well, not tackle exactly. More like broach, or at least mention and then move on.

This week, we separate 10 songs from the herd of The R3-30. Our Long Range Request this week comes from Sheena in Ottawa and goes all the way to Elliott...wherever he may be. The Wheel of Freedom spins its way to Burnaby, B.C., where Carmen (a girl) pitches a great track by Raised By Swans, and a great new song from Bedouin Soundclash makes it onto the chart.

OK, enough of that. Now I have a couple of requests of my own. First, please comment below if you, or someone you know is a man that happens to have the name Carmen (or Carman). Pedro seems to think that it is exclusively a girl's name. Even though it was my Dad's name.
Secondly, I offered The R3-30 Podcast Twin Spin as one of the Seven Wonders of Canada. It didn't make it. I realize that a Twin Spin isn't that wonderful.

Now, over on Tod Maffin's insidethecbc blog, he's looking for The Seven Wonders of the CBC. If The R3-30 Wheel of Freedom doesn't at least make it onto that list, there's something seriously wrong with this world. I'm not telling you what to do, but there are three links to that page inside this post. So...y'know...

    Carmen - the Painter

    My psychotic aunt paints her house every year... exclusively by "Carmen the Painter".... "Carmer the 'male' painter, aunty?..." "...yes, Carmer the male painter, Mitch"


    All the best,

    Mitch!

    Carmen - the Gardener

    My neighbour's (across the back lane) name is Carmen, or Carman? I'm not sure, but it's definitely one of the 2. He grows Roma tomatoes that look like a massive stick of pepperoni! And he's from 'the old country'... Italy I think...

    7 Wonders Update

    C & P, Todd Maffin states on his blog that "You’ll have a lot more success “winning” if you can provide a photo." So please give us a link to a photo of the renowned Wheel of Freedom (whose actual, material existence I do not for a moment question). Maybe Pedro could put it on his Flickr account with all that crazy Mr. Dressup meets Astroboy crap of his?
