I've started to HEAVILY prune my myspace account. Just had loadsa random friends requests over the time I've had it and most of these bastards just seem to be interested in CONSTANTLY spamming about how ****ing interesting their new song is or whos playlist it's on.Quote:

Before such things as myspace people appeared a little more restrained with their promotion (with the odd VERY ANNOYING exception). Is there truly so much desperation in some people to find acceptance/approval ?
If that is the case.... LOL !
It does bring home the point that a lot of people seem to be doing music essentially so they can 'show off' (hoping y'all get my angle here) which just puzzles me no end. How come it's the talentless bastards that make the most noise (10 bulletins a day or something). Empty vessels an' all that I guess.
HOWEVER, I have found myspace useful personally for gigs and re-contacting old friends from around ze globe. With you on the time wasting though, Henry, there's no inherent harm in having one, just as long as I don't see "xxx has updated their profile information" EVERY DAY :-( Don't you people do NOTHING ELSE ???!?!?!?
this topic is ace to read!
i do like myspace coz of all the people iv met n can chek out whats goin on in the world ezy!
but im sick of the people that post a coment on my page sayin my new mix www.whateva.com or a club night poster!
with "NO" how u doin or a complement on ur music just chek my mix out look at my night!
i just laff:) and if any one posts more than 2bully's in a row i delete them!
iv had about 10 in a row b4 so i got hold of them, told them if thay do it agen ill delet them!! but what do u no! yes 10 more posts so by by haha
good for networkin tho:)
Its cool until you get the occasional spam-whore slangin some weak party or mix or whatever.....
I don't even believe that to be true.Quote:

It's possible that someone discovered The Arctic Monkeys through myspace, but it's not the reason they broke big. They broke big because Radio One were plugging them like **** from the word go.
why dont u guys turn on the spam filter so everyone has to do a captcha when submitting a message / comment approval?
Spot on that.Quote:

Thats exactly what i'm using it for mate.Quote:

i personally find myspace a real ballache.
people load up there pages with so much shit and pictures that they take ages to view and even slower to scroll.
what really annoys me is these randoms who send me a message with something along the lines of
"do you want to release this track' and then a just a link or even worse check out my player on my page... that really ****s me off for some reason
no attempt to build a bit of a rappor or have a chat then say oh do you mind listening to my track.
don't people realise this will get them much better feedback and response.
on the whole i think people should use the phone more often... it's good to talk
(i realise if your in different countries than can be an issue)
TBH 'tho i think thats why we have forums like these. I've just barred all the html in my comments because it was getting out of hand. I have also started a scottish techno etc group in the hope that folk will post all there nights and shit in one central space and can discuss posts, so one's page won't be bombarded.Quote:

do you ever meet up with Dave Mitchell et al who run froot over in dunfermline???Quote:

The really sad thing is that when I click away because I have no patience waiting for all their bollocks to load..........I could be missing out on some good music...........if you want people to listen, then you got to make it easy and simple.............best have your own site.............decent quality playback of your music.........total control over the look and feel...............and none of the stigma that is now associated with myspace.
The sad thing is I clicked on daves site and it has a link to myspace...............dave I love your music man...........but wheres your head at there?

But with Myspace the real benefit is the free search engine optimization that you essentially recieve by piggy backing off Myspace's massive web presence. Regardless of being an up and coming producer or a pioneer (such as you and the Liberators) having a Myspace page is a great way to keep friends and fans in touch with what your doing....with their membership in the millions, you'll get a ton of exposure.
I just hate when DJ's and people alike install these crazy flash pages that jam up browsers....and the spammers...but regardless...its free.
well its free so it must be ok then
Myspace is no help to get your future started... It only helps "musicians" to get me spittin´all day long.... 1000nds of bytes of achin soundfiles on one webspace, this could be a modern way to suicide if you gone to sign in. And it is a big fault to think, that your gettin famous in 3 days and become gigs for the next two years...
