WFNX/Boston Phoenix Best Music Poll

Mark Lind - 6-3-2009 at 04:13 PM

Evidently we (Mark Lind & The Unloved) have been nominated by WFNX and the Boston Phoenix in the Best Music Poll. We're going to a private party sponsored by the station and newspaper tonight to find out what category we're nominated in. We're just hoping it isn't the "Boston's Shittiest Band" category.

At any rate, the voting is going to open to the public tomorrow. We're gonna be calling on all of y'all to hopefully cast a vote in our favor starting then. And the polls run for a while but I'm not sure if you can only vote once or how that works.

Please spread the word and check back for the link and details.

Thanks!

That was the Boston Music Awards. This is a different thing. But I suspect you're right.

Like I said to Mike, for all I know we could be in the "best bass player" category.

He is pretty sweet.

I'll vote for whatever they put you down for. Even if it's best Pee Wee Herman tattoo-to-be.

I'll vote for someone else just so the "honor" doesn't go to your head, which means you'll keep writing good songs. :P

This is the first time in 15 years of playing music that The Boston Phoenix has recognized a Lind for one of these awards. The band and I would sure appreciate your vote.

You can skip any category you wish to skip. You have to validate your email address at the end but you don't have to receive a verification or anything. Thanks.

Voted for ya Mark!

Now, everyone else go back and write in "Refuse Resist" in the Hardcore category. Let them know what's up.

Mark Lind - 6-4-2009 at 04:17 PM

bump

Please note that the vote hasn't been counted til you entered a name and email address.

BDx13 - 6-4-2009 at 04:31 PM

yeah, the actual voting process for this is a really unclear.

i assumed i was done after clicking 'submit vote' button at the bottom of the page, but apparently, one must then click 'cast your ballot' at the top of the page. THEN, you have to review the vote and enter your name and email at the bottom of the NEXT page.

honest to god, from a UI perspective, this process is crap. i wonder what percentage of votes don't get tallied because users didn't follow all the way through.

I voted for Mark and wrote him in a couple of catagorys too. I wrote in Refuse Resist in some too.

it was a tough call though... I voted for Mark, but Julie from The New Alibis is hot so if you were not in the catagory with them I would have voted for them.

Woodie - 6-10-2009 at 05:34 AM

I voted for you. Not because you mentioned it on here, but because you are the best band in the list.

Mark Lind - 6-20-2009 at 11:15 AM

This is the last week for voting.
