Weird Canada gets competitive (update)
By ryan ~ Posted Tuesday, March 8th 2011Weird Canada, a wonderful music blog that features a lot of Wavelength-like music, is in the running for CBC Radio 3's Searchlight, a yearly contest for a different Canadian-specific "best" thing, this year being best Canadian music website. I'm not interested in endorsing any one finalist or another, partly because I find the Searchlight thing to be a little bullshit because they allow you to vote again and again, making it more about who can get their fanbase to traffic the CBC Radio 3 site every day to upvote their pick (but if it helps promote cool things then whatever, right?). But I must give props to Weird Canada for making this little promo video which I think Wavelength folk will find funny.
Update: Weird Canada won! You can check out a little interview with Aaron Levin of WC with the CBC's Grant Lawrence here.
