CBCR3 Searchlight Looking For Canada’s Best Music Website
CBC Radio 3 host Grant Lawrence wants your pick for the single best independent Canadian online source for music websites, blogs, live performance sites, label or artist sites, photo blogs and video blogs. I actually didn’t know about this until I started getting google alerts, letting me know that I was nominated. Thanks to whoever threw my name in there.
There’s a lot of great sites in there for this preliminary round of voting, many blogs I follow on a daily basis. Head to CBCR3 and vote for your favourite. My notes are below.
