shameless plea for help / mercy

God. I really, really hate bands that sit around and post myspace bulletins with things like "OMG, VOTE FOR MY BAND!". And yet... that's exactly what I've been reduced to.

My band is up for band of the month on this music blog / webzine called The Deli Magazine in Los Angeles. There's not even a prize, other than bragging rights, and a giant banner link to our website. At first when we were nominated we thought it was cute, something harmless to gauge fan/friend reaction. But then it happened. We started getting quite a few votes. We took an early lead by about 200 votes... and then another band "miraculously" caught up and overtook us by only a handful of votes... For the past week our numbers have been a back and forth battle.

Here's the thing. Voting ends tomorrow. We're currently down by about 20 votes. If anyone on here wants to help my cause it'd be much appreciated. If not, that's cool too. I'll post the link to the site, and if you would like to vote, by all means DO IT! And if you happen to know of a way to vote multiple times and have them all count, well heck, I certainly won't complain...

here's the link:

EDIT: (my band is The FLYING TOURBILLON ORCHESTRA)

PS. Mods, if this kind of thread isn't allowed, then I plead ignorance and feel free to delete this thread with extreme prejudice. After all, I'm embarassed to have even written it, as it seems I am not above begging after all.

Gah! I can't believe I forgot the most important part... ha, shows how frazzled my brain was when I posted this.

My band is The Flying Tourbillon Orchestra, and if you're interested in hearing us, our myspace page is http://www.myspace.com/theflyingtourbillon

Thanks guys!

i dunno how it happened... first we were down by over 100 votes, then we closed the gap and actually took the lead for a bit... when voting closed we were down by about 80. But considering there were 10 bands in the competition and both my band and the other main contender each had about 44% of the vote (leaving a paltry 12% to the other 8 bands), they awarded us with a tie, despite the other band technically beating us!

To the loser go half the spoils! Thanks for any help any of you may have given!
