Look out behind you! It's Monday, it's just around the corner! But don't worry, it's still Sunday here at RADIOGRAHAM and we're going to party like Sunday deserves.

Today on the program, in addition to honouring a sweet music video from those lovable scamps in Meligrove Band and talking about a good old fashioned Buck 65 song, I'll be playing tons of awesome new music and talking about Dan Mangan's many Juno nominations (is he the Lauren Hill of Canadian music? All signs point to yes!), some Canadian bands kicking off big tours, and my dream band to play at Super Bowl half time.

That paragraph was one run on sentence! Oh boy, English teachers! You can print that one out and take it in as an example of what not to do.

Oh yeah, for those intrepid blog commenters who have declared today to be Sunday Punday, wrap your minds around this epic text conversation: http://i.imgur.com/khOzc.jpg

And don't forget to follow along on the CBC Radio 3 Tumblr for extra credit!

Ha. Screw CBC Music! I'm on the old site!

(I'm just kidding. I'm sure the new site will be great with a couple tweaks.

Ooooh.... This white colour scheme is nice. It's a little more conspicuous than the black colour scheme, though.

New site? Been busy reading 3 books and almost freezing in my room where the heating isn't working (with temperatures outside down to -10°) , so haven't followed the news.

What's going on, site seems the same to me 8-) or is the new site only for canadians 8-(

Yeah. There's a new site. http://music.cbc.ca

It's not so easy to find the blog of the current show. Play around with it.

Biggest problem: Comments do NOT automatically update. They're working on it.

Okay, that's a little weird. You have to manually update comments. In that case, I'll probably switch over to "Newest First" until it's fixed.

thanks for the link! Found the blog over there! But I'll stay on the the old site until it's fixed 8-)

Morning! Also strange to be on here for the weekend, but wanted to check out the new site!

@mairie. The problem with the newest first thing is that you still need to scroll all the way down to actually comment. It is kind of awkward...

Okay, I'm just going to chill in the old page until that's fixed.

I did wonder, it's difficult enough to get Grant to turn up for work during the week

I'm having a quiet day watching Wales Vs Scotland

(old site for me too)

I am on both right now. Reading the comments from last night to catch up and maybe answer some of my questions.

As things stand at the moment the I have very little use for the new site as the only stream I can access it the original R3 feed

I doubt it as they only have Canadian streaming rights

IP mask?

I have been wondering about that so I can watch 22minutes in complete shows rather than just clips

You should time your posts on the old site (while it lasts) so they only fall on odd-numbered comments. Makes your logo (love it, btw) that much better to have it on black.

OK (Thank you)

I dunno... It looks so boring compared the "old" site. I like the idea of having all cbc music integrated but I wish they kept the radio 3 "look"

Okay, who's going to design a new side player?

CDNz1

I've actually suggested they do that. Hopefully we see it happen.

I suggested they put a post comment window at the top (like this site has) and allow the blog text to be expanded/collapsed. By ordering comments newest first, you shouldn't have to stray far away from the player because the post window is right there, and the newest comments are, too
