I have just spent a couple of hours plodding about on MySpace, it's mental...I honestly only really use the internet for work, this site and not much else, I never knew the extent of wannabe music makers out there. It's insane. There seems to be an almost endless desperation by people to get their souless imitation sounds released by anyone they can foist it on. It made me question myself though. I don't really want an official release, it would be nice I suppose, but I don't think I would actively look for one. My music may be shit but what crap I make are snapshots of how I feel and who I am...something which for some reason I sometimes want to share. Maybe it is just that I don't identify with a lot of the people out there, I don't know, but I love listening to and making music for feeling and I don't feel anything with a lot of the stuff out there. I got given two bottles of wine for free earlier. I have half a bottle left and my head is woozy, anyone want a fight? |

word! working with music would kill it for me... |

99.9% is complete shite. I get sent loads of crap on there each day. I think it's worthwhile at the moment though as some people make great things inadvertently or on purpose. Or just look at the slags on there. |

My conclusions so far: I've came across a few decent things. I think Hungarians are nuts. Slags are good if they are real (most of the time the pictures are of what they beleive their 'inner selves' [I don't mean spread pussy shots] are like or what they would look like if they were thin and could afford extensive plastic surgery) Some Mexicans sent me a friend request thing and everything on their site and every comment is in a language I know very little about. It's different and fun as well as being depressing and scary. |

i've made it so that "band" or "music" profiles can't add me as a friend... but they still message me with spam. fuckers. |
||||||||
|

i'm desperately trying to avoid those in search of their 'inner selves' on myspace. |

You off to Glade this year Jack? |

i've heard some good bands on myspace, but it's mostly terrible shit, yeah. i'm glad i'm not involved with it. |
||||||||
|

It's the under belly and the sad bit sometimes. I've found it great for keeping in touch with people I've lost cotact with for years. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hopefully, still need to sort shit out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Actually I can see it being useful in getting in touch again with people from the past (not for me though as they won't allow prisoners to have myspace :P). Jack: Excellent. |

I put you in my 'Top 8' for some 'exposure' |

I've met alot of people on myspace with original music and a great sound. I've also met a tonne of people who don't. Myspace is just getting too crowded. I don't feel a need to insult it though, it's got a great interface for artists to post their stuff. |
||||||||

Nice one :) Now I just need to get some stupid tracks finished. |

I am currently working on the largest "Thanks for the add" graphic, which involves 8 computers running 32 instances of Photoshop and if printed out would be the size of Wales. Not that that many people add me. |

hahaha, i saw some classics earlier today. |

the worst thing about the internet is all the people on it. |

hahaha, you and your "internet" comments |

Myspace is hilarious. I've added Jenna Jameson to my profile for good measure. |
||||||||
|
|

i never check myspace..when it comes to 'type' of music people people promote there im not too interested, if it's something good i'll probably get to know it sooner or later. |

When Aphex gets a myspace account and actually updates it himself, the internet will end. |
||||||||
|
|

|

haha |
||||||||
|
|

Hahah, what about Autechre? They are updating it! |

I remember reading an interesting article about myspace in The Times the other week. It covered the same two points people here have; 1. It's quite useful for sound people to stay in touch. EG you bump into an old schoolfriend in town; here's my myspace site, add me to your friends. 2. It's used by saddo egomaniacs who "collect" friends in a desperate attempt at an approximation of popularity (or at least appearing to be popular). Sometimes this is linked to a need for an outlet for their absolutely shite musical/artistic activities. Interestingly, they got a few philosphers/psychologists to comment on it and they said that the vast majority of 'friendships' were meaningless and it was impossible to have a close relationship to more than 6-12 people. I agree that even online it's limited to how many people you can spend much time talking with/become close to. |

autechre are ok with their fan base. |

I feel like if Richard is a bit down in this last period, no new live set, no new albums/eps, etc. A new xlt radio show by him would definitely cheere me up. I think we need at least it. |
||||||||
|

i use myspace to let my friends from scotland, manchester and the like listen to what im up to. its a lot less hassle then emailing mp3s whenever i get asked. hardly ever add people cos the place is full of crazies. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahh, myspace is borring rreally. it's ok when you'rre borred to look arround at peoples prrofiles and stuff, but i find it totally useless as a means of keeping in contact with people etc... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like the music section because i don't download mp3s anymorre, it's nice forr me to look up aphex twin forr example and listen to a couple of trracks while i mess arround. but to the rrest of you that's prrobably prretty useless. |
||||||||

I think I found Aphex's myspace - probably bollox tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i sometimes get waves of dicksucking messages on myspace :/ some more "hey listen to my music" spams some cunt having a myspace-comment-conversation with me rather than by IM myspace IS cunt |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I disagree. There is not more crap on myspace than any other place i think. Found some really good bands there. |

lupus yonderboy thinks its a load of gash. thank you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So what exactly are you disagreeing with? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That i do not tink most of its soulless imitations, and that i do feel something from some of the artists on Myspace. Newsflash: You think youre too cool for school, well let me tell you something. Youre not. |
||||||||

I went on there this morning to check what messages the celebrity I'm pretending to be has recieved, and I had a nasty experience with a 14 year old girls page which crashed my browser and played a really scary version of Gouryella - Walhalla with cheesy vocals until I managed to force quit |
