I just won a radio contest.
DNTO, cbc’s Saturday pop culture show, has a contest called “Lost in Translation”. They take song lyrics, translate them into another language using babelfish or something, then translate them back to English. They read the resulting jumble of words on the air.
Since my laptop died I’ve been feeling a little media-starved. As a consequence, I’ve been listening to cbc a lot. I happened to catch the contest last week, and, for the first time ever, realized what the song was. (”Political” by Spirit of the West). I wrote in.
Moments ago they read my name on the air as one of the winners. I think the prize is a DNTO toque. I’m very excited.
I know somebody famous now! Woot!
Go Ian! You rock.
Thanks Pam!
Turns out I’m not the only famous person you know. I just heard James C.’s email get read on the National Playlist.
Oh Ian, you make me proud!
