My song, Story Street, was voted #1 Acoustic Song in Round 1 of the OurStage.com April competition. Round 2 winners are determined by text voting and anyone can vote.

Anyone with 50 cents that is. 

As much as I like that Round 1 uses OurStage's "patent-pending judging system [which] eliminates cheaters" I'm a bit uncomfortable encouraging people to use Round 2's "patent-pending take all of my fans' money" system.  As democratic as the system is,  you can still guarantee that you win if you've got the most cash.  Which I guess is not so far off from the current state of democracy.

Now if you dig text voting and you've got 50 cents that you want to get rid of I would be thrilled to have you text ACOUS03 to 78243 to vote for my song. 

Vote for Story Street

Totally dude it sucks, the first part of our stage is great and the they ruin it some what by going all fascist and corporate like. A guy i know won best song and then voted himself so much via text that he won it! Thats some crazy bullshit right there! Saying that, the fact that your song won best acoustic gem in the democratic section is something significant and to be proud of for sure.

Pleased to meet you Greg,

Mark
