Thinking Zunior
How do they get nominated? Don’t you think Dave Ullrich should get the 2007? I should ask him for their fancy stats.from 200 titles tohow many SONGS is that?* *The Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award.

Neko Case on CBC said "you don't tell Garth Hudson what to play."Did you know you can buy her music on zunior?Did you hear Jill Barber the other day? Now she really made me want to go z-shopping!I'm almost glad my stereo won't get CBC since I moved, I'm so modern now, an on-line listener...
to zunior, the steps say:
Click the DOWNLOAD button and save the file to your computer. Open and enjoy the music. This reminds me of the Ikea furniture building instruction page where they show you the steps as 1) a diagram of all the parts, and then 2) a diagram of the finished product. thanks a lot eh?

can someone draw me a map of my own technology please? or put on note on there for first timers with bad instincts not to choose OPEN, choose save and then give them the lesson i already had before.it bugs me how the song clips sit in my i-tunes forever breaking up the shuffle all the time, but my supposedly free downloads just tease me for current, on the site playing only. are they really not downloadable?

*
i still want to work for zunior. why don't they RETURN my ^%$# call. i'm a good employee. i should convince them. i'll be my own reference and everything!!

i really liked the song about the guy with the always ringing phone and believe me i laughed OUT LOUD like a moron in my own backyard while gardening I MEAN WEEDING this afternoon and listening to "i quit my job" before coming in to make rice and potatoes for supper.

smart and fun:another thing on the cbc today wasthe webcast from the living roomas a way to avoid touringbut yet garner cheap exposure700 ppl watched10 ppl in the room

i have ANOTHER complainti had to stop the podcast to go see who's lovely voice i recognized , not having noticed the name in the list of detailed podcast track info...if one follows links far enough into zunior catalogue one can confirm that jill barber is the vocal treasure to whom i am referring. i think full credits on future podcasts might be nice. is it too much work?btw, when i'm travelling, is the info track by track more easily accessible than i know? because for sure i am losing track...and p.s.now, where will the podcast pick up again? AT THE BEGINNING??? boy, barber MUST sound awesome for a listener to risk THAT! she really was great at hillside, i can tell you that.

i remember when we saw her at the corporate gig.

that's a good idea!
"That's a good idea!"
is one of my favourite expressions!when i went to hear daniel richler speak at the reference library about pop culture, he basically did a big commercial for his just launched book tv. i remember hearing that they were short staffed, and with not enough finances to hire more staff so at the end of his chat i walked up to him and held out my business card saying "i would intern."he took my card, smiling "now, That is a good idea." and not long afterwards i ended up swing dancing with a dan jnr -lookalike type at a poetry party and it turned out he was a new book tv intern.i remember when i interupted zunior dave, who was kindly answering about a thousand questions for me, to randomly suggest he use more coupon offers, so as to measure the success of each marketing initative. a lot of my other then-bosses were getting annoyed at me for just that sort of unsolicted comment, so you can imagine my delight when, in the beat that followed dave ullrich said "That's a good idea!"
