The office seems a little emptier these days, what with a lot of people taking vacations. The post-Christmas, southward exodus is on as people look for respite from the winter!
Some of them are headed to...the beach! To mark and honour that, today's Monday Music Meld is about just that; The Beach. Stephramsahai pitched this idea and this seems like the perfect time for it!
Put the R3 shell to your ear to hear picks from zammachus, EP, marie_curious, maattt, loweeda, Michael Wynn, slkdsb, daa1982, darbarspecial, taggy666, EricR, cathyort, emmagodmere, Shonica, garfielduk, tb3, StephRamsahai, kathyjean, MikeV, CDNz1, flannel tom, and Christine McAvoy. Some picks even came in via twitter from lukedecoste, jojodillon, and tenbruggencate. Honourable mentions today to binsy, and Old Abe!
Next week I'd like to flesh out an idea that's been kicking around on The Meld for awhile. Let's do "Mondegreens": Lyrics that you've mis-heard (and maybe even mis-sung!!) Comment below or email craig_norris@cbcradio3.com with your best example! Remember to put "Mondegreen" in the subject line, though!!
I ALMOST FORGOT!!!
