Well we didn't take the top honours, but there's nothing but huge smiles over here at Thorny Bleeder HQ!
All I can say is... THANK YOU!
This whole ride has been such an amazing feeling. Not in a thousand years did I think there would even be a contest for this type of thing. It was an honour to just be nominated. But then, week by week, your votes rolled in and pushed us into the next round. It's been such an outstanding stream of ongoing support and it's these good vibes that just keep pushing me to make things even better here at Thorny Bleeder.
The Thorny Bleeder community amazes me each and every day. This Top 10 placing is for you as much as it is for us! Seriously.

We did it. We're a Top 20 Best Canadian Music Website!

CBC Radio 3 just announced the Top 20 Searchlight finalists for Best Canadian Music Website, as voted by you, and... Thorny Bleeder made the list!
While I don't really concern myself with contests and who's better than who, this does indeed put a big huge smile on my face.
I know there's better websites out there. But... what this does confirm is the Power of a Community. We are a tribe, a collective of like-minded, passionate music lovers. And I can't think of any other music site in the country who has such a strong and supportive group of people behind it!
Everyday we gather together on this website, every morning through The DIY Daily newsletter, on Twitter via a relentless stream of one-on-one discussions, on Facebook with group conversations, on Formspring through our Ask Me Anything feature, on Livestream with our Live Video Chat Q & Eh? Sessions, and of course on YouTube, Tumblr, Posterous, and Flickr.
We're everywhere... and so are you. We connect on many different levels. Yes, Thorny Bleeder is much more than just a website. We are a community. A tribe. And that my friends, is what being included in the Top 20 is all about. It's the cherry on top of the new media sundae! It's proof that what we're doing is connecting with you. And that's pretty fucking rad.
So now we move into yet another week of Daily Voting. All previous votes are wiped clean and we start from scratch for one more week!
So here we go folks, voting starts now!

Ever since I started this website my sole aim was to develop and create a true grassroots community of artists and music lovers. And you know what? Making the Top 30 proves that together we're achieving that goal! And that my friends, means the world to me.
So, with respect... I ask yet again for your quick vote once a day. Can we do this?

This is because of YOU and every who's been voting for Thorny Bleeder this past week. Thank you so much!
And now it goes to yet another round of Voting.
So here I come to you, with hat in hand, asking for your help (every day for the next week) to take Thorny Bleeder to the Top 30 (which will be announced next week).
VOTE HERE
No registration required
One vote per 24 hour period.
While this would of course be a nice little stroke to the ego if we make the next cut, the main thing I want to do is to expose the True North Strong And Free (Canaduh) to some of the best new music in the country.
The more eyes we can bring to these Thorny Bleeder pages, the more free downloads we'll give away, and the more fans our artists will have. That's quite the circle of love, no?

VOTE HERE
We couldn't have had this nomination if it wasn't for all of our friends, fans, and followers... so this pat on the back and wink of acknowledgement is for you too.
Thanks a bunch for all your support and it would mean the world to us if you could vote each and every day until this thing is over. And as a thank-you for voting, why don't you go and grab yourself some free music downloads? Go ahead, it's on us.

Scott Valentine has just moved into the final round of yet another amazing opportunity for this gifted songwriter. Valentine's song "Save The World" (see the video below) is now in the Top 55 selections out of more than 700 national applicants for the David Suzuki Foundation's Playlist For The Planet competition, done with the support of the CBC Radio3 user community.
The finalists were just announced and the final Voting Round has already started this morning. The details are simple, vote once a day from now until Sept. 7th.
So, once again I'm having to call upon our readers, supporters, and fans to help us out with daily voting. We need your help to make this dream a reality for Scott Valentine! If you know anything about Valentine, he truly wants to save the world, and having one of his songs added to his lifelong hero's (David Suzuki) projects would mean the world to him.
Together we can do it...let's support this amazing and gifted artist and give him the the increased exposure and recognition he deserves.
