Coming up today on Grant Lawrence Live, 3PM ET / noon PT on CBC Radio 3's web radio:
Today's Guests: Stephen Boyd (CBC Sports), Matthew Barber, Vancougar, In-Flight Safety
It's kinda like holding a contest to repaint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel... a near impossible task. How can you improve upon or replace perfection? That is exactly what thousands of Canadian musicians are trying to do to replace the legendary Hockey Night In Canada Theme in time for the drop of the puck in October.
Over here at CBC Radio 3, we've sifted through thousands of entries and found six themes by six independent Canadian artists that we want you to rate for us on our blog. Will any of these five be in contention for the title?
:: Windom Earle "Get On Into It" (Halifax)
:: Eden Fineday (Vancougar) "The Speed of Sound v.2" (Vancouver)
:: Matthew Barber "Double Overtime" (Toronto)
:: Grant Johnson "Flight Of The Zamboni" (Winnipeg)
:: John Mullane (In-Flight Safety) "Battle For Middle Ice" (Halifax)
:: Carolyn Mark "Dirty Little Secret" (Victoria)
This brings us to our...
Poll Question of the day:
WHICH DO YOU THINK HAS THE BEST CHANCE TO BECOME THE NEW HNIC ANTHEM?
Did we miss any of your favourites? Post the links! Are you going to vote? What should the new theme sound like? Do you care?
