The R3-30: Chart #182!

The R3-30: Chart #182!

Posted by Craig Norris on Mar 13, 2010

It's funny where conversations go, don't you think? Sometimes they begin on strange topics and end up being illuminating and beautiful. Then, other times, they start somewhere illuminating and beautiful and end up being disturbing and weird.

I'm going to get you to go on ahead and guess which one of those we have on The R3-30 this week? With our number 1 artist, no less.

But it's not all about bladder control and Pedro's hobbies. We'll hear what Alexandre from Radio Radio does in the bathtub, have an R3-30 FunClub Pick for USS from the U.S., find out what X3 Artist, Zeus, is listening to these days, and still play this week's most popular songs on CBCRadio3!

But yes, there are a few...er...odd conversations along the way. Plus, there seems to be growing animosity towards The JingleMatic 3000.

The R3-30 debuts every Friday on CBCRadio3.com and Sirius 86 at 11 am ET. The Podcast drops rignt after!

    The JingleMatic and Sunshine Dick should collob for a show.  It could be called JingleDick.

    I live in Kelowna.

     

    I love the Habitat but not all Kelowna inhabitants.

    If you believe the header at this Tourism Kelowna site, Kelowna's slogan appears to be "Ripe with surprises."

    However, the city's welcome sign apparently just has some tomatoes.

    So the jingle just needs to mention surprisingly ripe tomatoes, and it can't go wrong.

    the LiveCity Yaletown site is now closed. The downtown has been closed the past week but reopens tonight. There was never a night I was not able to get into the live sites when I went. the lineups looked intimidating, but they moved very efficiently. I would say that if you show up 30-40 mins before start of the show you will be in on time. The opening ceremonies are tonight, so it may be a different story, but they start at 6 and I'm thinking most people will be watching from home...I'm going to head down there once I get back downtown

    I'm coming to this a day late so I don't assume you'll be reading this, Craig, but if you are I would like to suggest something to do with the Ogopogo for K-Town/Kelowna's jingle. He makes his home there and is the second most famous fictional lake monster in the world. Let Leonard Nimoy tell you all about him: "In Search Of... The Ogopogo Monster"
