The next The Glowing Stars cover – Voting starts...
You nominated, we chose, half based on popular vote, the other half based on preference, but these are all your choices! Now it’s up to you to make the final choice, and that will be our next cover song in the next few shows to come. We’ll probably also release it as a limited free download! Voting ends October 1, 2011.
