Music, music music! Everybody loves music! You know who else loves music as much as anyone else? It’s Canada’s own environmental activist, David Suzuki! Suzuki has proclaimed that thhere shall be a playlist for the environment. Or, more appropriately, a Playlist for the Planet.
But, the thing that is really nifty about this is that they are allowing all of us, of the true north, strong and free, to enter the playlist! That’s right, your music, no matter the age (as long as it’s comprehendible) you can enter your song for the playlist and contribute to our nice little (mostly) harmless planet. Suzuki says, To quote from his letter,
“I believe that an environmental anthem can help bring the overwhelming public support for the environment to its rightful place. Together, we can inspire thousands of Canadians to gather around song.
“Imagine artists from every genre of music joining in to show the diversity of Canadian thoughts, feelings and ideas about how we can reconnect with nature. When the dust clears, I hope we will emerge with an anthem that we can all sing along to!” (To read the whole letter, click here)
And your song may get onto the CD that’s coming out this October. You can ALSO get an awesome Gibson guitar from Long & McQuade as a prize!
Artists among the playist include the “classic” band D.O.A and artists such as K-os and Sarah McLaghlin are also featured in this playlist. And maybe even you! (Sorry for the tackyness there).
You can got to the CBC radio 3 website where you can enter your song here.
Or, if you would rather just liten to some music, click here to listen to some environmental harmony!
You have until August 15 to come up with a song that in someway contributes to the environment we all love and adore so much! What are you guyss waiting for? Get to it! 😀
