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!
