Make Meow Records the Best in Canada

CBC Radio 3 is currently holding a contest to find the best record store in Canada. After the initial round of voting, Meow Records, owned by CFUR alumni Bryndis Ogmundson, is in the running for the top 20-- and ultimately the top spot.

This is where you come in. The winning store will have a live CBC broadcast featuring their favourite local artist. We have a hell of a music scene here in PG, and this would be a great way to get some national exposure. Not to mention the fact that Meow Records makes a huge contribution to the community, from releasing local albums to sponsoring music festivals to starting a Rollergirls league.

So head over to radio3.cbc.ca and vote-- once a day, every day. It's the right thing to do.
