Close to 2,000 invitations have been sent since the contest began less than a week ago, and the memberships are trickling in. There’s still plenty of room to win, and nobody has had more than a handful of their invites redeemed yet–so keep inviting, and make sure your friends sign up!

We’ll keep you posted on all the goings on here, and keep rocking!

Check it out, and if you have a playlist of your own, be sure to let me know! I’d love to see it, and help spread the holiday rock (cheer).

Happy holidays, everyone! There aren’t enough words in the world to express how grateful everyone here at Grooveshark is for all of your help making this year be the most fun (and most successful) year of our lives. Honestly, we couldn’t do it without you.

Our gratitude is by no means limited to that coldest of months (nay, we often go to sleep with our hearts brimming and our ears ringing from awesome music), but since it’s that time when the festive spirit overtakes us despite our rationality and spite for commercialism, we’re going to join in! That’s why we’re happy to announce the Grooveshark Holiday Sharing Contest.

What does this mean? Basically, all you have to do is spread the good word of Grooveshark to your friends, and if they’re as good of friends as you think, you’ll profit! Invite your friends to Grooveshark, and if more of your friends sign up than anyone else, you’ll get a Nintendo Wii. Second place gets a new iPod Nano, and third place gets an iPod Shuffle.

When you’re using Grooveshark, just click the link above and start inviting your friends!

We’ll keep you updated on who’s in the lead, how you guys are doing, and, of course, the requisite stream of love for all of you.

Thanks again for everything, and hopefully your December is a memorable one.

-The Grooveshark Team

I asked those of you who follow Grooveshark on Twitter what tunes you’ve been grooving to this morning, and I was pleasantly surprised–I legitimately love everything you guys suggested. If you’re reading this, you should without a doubt ask these Twitterers for some tips on great bands (list and links below).

Enough talk: here’s the playlist, based on your suggestions!

AWESOME. Superspecial thanks to all those who contributed:

Orensr: suggested El Ten Eleven.
Thordora gave us The Softies.
Nickiek deserves special mention for Working for a Nuclear Free City.
DarkNight247 contribued Afghan Whigs.
Pauho was kind enough to suggest a Led Zeppelin album that I actually really like.
Fzeisler represented the blues with some SRV.
TrashRockx suggested Red Fang, which I’m working on adding to Grooveshark, but you can listen to here in the meantime.

Thanks to all, and as I said, if you’re looking for new music, these are your best friends.
