HEY, CANADIANS! Help create a musical playlist for Barack Obama!

[phesina]

There is a move on to share Canada's musical culture with the incoming president:

CBC Radio 2 invites Canadians to help select the top “49 songs from north of the 49th parallel” that would best define our country to the incoming U.S. President Barack Obama.

Voting ends at 8:00 Eastern time tonight.. so go to http://www.cbc.ca/radio2/obamasplaylist/ and get your votes in!

(I also posted this info in the "Will You Be Watching" thread in Dog House, but here it is again for those who don't go there.)

I listen to CBC Radio quite a lot, because there really IS so much good music coming out of Canada!
