what do you guys (especially the ones who have actuall acounts on myspace) think of it? for example - did it actually help you to spread your music or are there any other advantages of it? friends just keep asking me all the time why i still haven't made myself an account but every time i look at one of those myspace sites the layout just creeps me out so much. also - there seems to be so much of crap there that it seems impossible to find something really good there. |

Me and my cousin made lots of new friends there. We drink tea with all of them once a week. |

oh right. quite cool to have britney spears and jesus christ for friends. |

Its not a bad place to share music. There are a lot of interesting artists on there, its very possible to find something really good. The layout is up to you. So what if the majority is shite, that doesn't mean that there isn't a minority that you would enjoy. |

don't forget jean harlow and stephen hawkings.. or chomsky, habermas and kafka. |

I don't actively seek out music on there, but I have, some how, by osmosis, or people linking, or recommendations, heard some brilliant music and mixes. So, I don't know, it's no more "evil" than the Internet in general, it's an easy way to make a homepage, have your music and you can get involved as much or as little in the networking side of it as you want. |

are those "famous artist" sites really created by them or some fanboi thingie ? |
||||||||

Well I know for sure some are, and some aren't. |

the page is managed by an employee of their major. i guess most artists from indie labels manage their page themselves. myspace is fun but it's shit. |

You have to have faith, if I told you it was JC, what would be the point of struggling to believe in something that, odds on, didn't happen? |

I messaged this one girl and said I was so lonely I was about ready to saw my own foot off. She made her profile private. |

ohdammit, i responded to the wrong myspace thread. ok, here it is again well ive been on myspace - i've been asked to play 2 gigs (one has already happened, the other will happen end of january) and hopefully will get toplay a3rd (was chatting about the possibility of). no idea if the donate button on my page hs gotten me donations, no clue at all. itsbeen weird, but also decent. theres some really creative people on myspace, like thomas jerome newton for instance, whose timelapse stuff simply owns. and so on. i get comments on my tracks, which is always decent. sometimes people mail me and ask if they can buy my records directly from me. sometimes people mail me asking if i'm a fan, or if i'm really me, which is always nice. . i'm gonna stick by it, and keep announcing gigs etc via it and stuff. its decent. the obligatory myspace url the obligatory website url |

i am on there somewhere here: i am one of those pieces of shit that keep my stuff private though, but if you send a request just mention xlt. |

it's shitty but useful.. I met some nice people there.. it's good to promote gigs as well.. btw you can download a new dj-set by me on my myspace: |

I agree. It's definitely got me more listeners for my station; it's even got me mixes from artists I would otherwise find hard to contact. The string self promotion aspect of MySpace is why it's so success IMO. |

i actually REALLY like myspace. but i never joined up with the intention of using to expand musical horizons, i just joined up for mates and networking and stuff..... i was hesitant coz i didn't want my page to say "kris has 0 friends" but thankfully a mate added me before i even created my profile. and the layout of the site is easy once you get used to it. and most importantly (this is a good and a bad thing) - ITS ADDICTIVE!! PROBABLY THE MOST ADDICTIVE SITE ON THE INTERNET! and yes, its even more addictive than xltronic (trust me, it is.) music-wise it is ok. you won't really discover anything too exciting though. but if you're joining for the networking idea i'll add ya!! sign up for fuck's sake!! :P |

afx has one now? Surely a pasty 15 year old kid in Florida is behind this. |

myspace is fun... appart for the fact that Murdoch owns it. and the whole friends thing is a little absurd!!! |
