Hi all. We're looking for some help for a buddy, (Back Bone Shiver), who currently has a song in an independent musicians contest.

His song "The Big Empty" is going head to head against the world famous "independent" musician, Pete Townshend (don't ask) and Rachel Fuller.

Many of us are trying our hardest to keep the spirit of independent music alive by voting for "The Big Empty" (plus, it's a darned fine, original song, which is a little more than Pete can say about his reworked cover tune...).

It would be awesome if you could help out as well. (Obviously, we're biased, and we have something of a question regarding Pete Townshend's "independentness.")

So please, before midnight Saturday, March 18, check out: Beat Pete HERE!

Because this contest is nearing the final rounds, the Independent Artist Company (hosting the contest) is requiring an e-mail verification. Basically it works thusly:

1. Go to the indienetunes site above.
2. Cast your vote.
3. Enter a valid e-mail address.
4. Check your e-mail (it only took a minute or three).
5. Click the link sent to you, and
voila! you voted!

If you have spam/junk mail filtering, there is a very good chance that the email from IAC will end up there. If your filter is set up to nuke all incoming spam/junk, please turn it off for just a few minutes. The webologists running this contest are logging IP addresses, so basically we're talking about 1 person; 1 vote. To the very best of my knowledge, your email will be used for nothing other than verifying the 1 person; 1 vote.

Thanks a whole bunch for helping Indie Artist to Beat Pete!

Does anyone see the possible potentual here?
