Go Vote!

Well, even though I'm Canadian, I'm more than a little interested in tomorrow's U.S. election. I won't pretend to know all the issues but I do know that voting is good, and not voting...well, it's bad...very, very bad. Hope to see voter turnout extraordinarily high this time around. Thanks to Songs:Illinois for getting this campaign going. Oh, and this campaign made the news!

Hey!! Stop what you're doing! You're not going to find that Arcade Fire live bootleg today, nor will you be stumbling across the b-side to "Hand In Glove", and there's no way you'll be finding that unreleased Pixies album. What you need to do is get ready to vote in the most important election of our lives. Figure out where your nearest polling place is and make sure you are registered. Tell your friends to vote, tell your enemies for that matter. But just vote.

Worried that you're not informed enough to vote? You're on the internet - the information is out there waiting for you. Not a U.S. citizen? Then please call or email all your American friends and make sure they plan on voting. Many artists/organizations are stepping up and helping with the Get Out the Vote campaign, and now so are many of us in the music blogging community. Below are some links but please continue to add your own.
