Can myspace music get any fucking worse? What the hell!!!!!!!!!!
The new player they just launched today is awful!!! I liked the old player better. And now myspace has got fucking advertisements popping up to direct you to listen to a random band when you want to listen to music in myspace? BULLSHIT!!!!
Unsigned bands and indie artists, here’s some words of advice and my 2cents. Cancel your account and leave that damn site like I did. There are other great sites on the internet to promote your music on. Myspace is going down the drain. Of course, unsigned and indie artists/bands won’t take that advice, they’ll be obsessed with myspace ’til the day they die. They all think myspace is such a great “promoting” and “marketing” site, when they fail to realize the real truth that it don’t do shit with your music. Time to get a reality check and get why myspace is making all these new changes. BLAH!!!!!!!

Kev, frankly I’m a little surprised that you still go on myspace. Didn’t you post a blog or two about how it all sucks and bands shouldn’t use it, blah blah blah etc etc etc? With all the labels crumbling one of the main avenues for bands to get heard is myspace. No “major” label will sign anyone unless they’re willing to fork over a cut of their tour profits and merchandising OR they are a Jessica Simpson type manufactured pop star. Sure, the Radioheads and NIN’s (Nine Inch Nails) of the world don’t need it, but they have a huge loyal following and can sell a decent number of copies by themselves. They also became popular during the old business model of major labels. They don’t need to market themselves anymore. A new band can’t do that. Myspace is essential for honest bands survival. Ya gotta be a survivor in this day and age – ain’t that right?

Yep, I still go on myspace even though I no longer have a music account.
I still lurk around just to see what local music of the Capital District is up to, and I have friends and family members in myspace that I like to check upon.
I do have a personal account that I use just to keep in touch with family members and true friends, you know, people that I know well, but I barely ever log into my personal account. Maybe like once a day for 5 minutes and that’s it.
I got rid of my myspace music account several months ago and still never going to get back to promoting my music on there.
Everything I say about myspace, I’ll always stick by what I say 100%. If you honestly think that myspace is a great site to survive your music with, then yes, you are delusional.
Myspace does not take your music to the next level, it does not get you a fanbase and get you popularity that musicians claim. Just because a band has over 10,000 to 20,000 friends, doesn’t make them so big and so popular. It doesn’t make you world known.
To be a survivor in music, myspace isn’t going to make you a star. All myspace really is, it’s just a little chat room thing like all the others.
Being a survivor in music is you gotta make the great music for the fans out in the real world out of myspace. Making the great music, the albums and getting people out to your shows. Myspace is only a little fantasy world. If you want to be a successful band or a solo artist, myspace does not make you successful. You have to play the real game and do a lot more.
Sure, myspace may get a band or solo artist a few gigs and myspace may help get a few people out to shows, but that still doesn’t make you a survivor in music. Myspace means nothing to music. Just watch and see, it is not going to shake up the music industry that the media claims, it’s only going to make the industry worse and myspace will fail.
I still look at myspace ’cause I want to. Just to see what’s going on and see what’s new. I’m not obsessed with that site anymore like I used to be. There is more to life than myspace. There is more to your music world than myspace. All it wants to do is just take over the industry, it’s just as simple as that.
There are plenty of ways for fans to get to hear your music online for free other than myspace, myspace, myspace. The player sound quality is just fucking crap. The sound quality on the player sounds like a fucking jukebox plyer in a bar room or worse.
The internet has better music websites with better sound quality on music players. Websites like soundclick is a great site I love to go. Of course, if you own a video camera, youtube is always a great website to promote your original music through.
Myspace is worthless, it is the truth.

Rupert Murdoch through his ownership of the Fox News network propagates a racist, extremist right-wing ideology. Mr. Murdoch also owns MySpace. How much does he spend to add content to MySpace? Nothing. Because you add the content for free. How much does he earn from your content that you post for free? He profits millions and millions of dollars a year. I, a grandchild of two people who survived Hitler’s concentration camps, am committed to fighting racism and therefore must challenge Mr. Murdoch.
Why do Jews like Adam Sandler or Steven Spielberg contribute content to MySpace? Why do rap and hip hop musicians like Nas and everyone at Def Jam Records contribute? Because they need the exposure; all the while Mr. Murdoch is making millions of dollars. Their need for promotion and money outweighs the need to not support a racist.
Barack Obama based his campaign on real change and hope. What no one realized until now is that when it comes to selling a false sense of hope nobody does it better than the Republicans. News headlines are reading that Senator Obama is 10 points behind in the polls today. I am feeling a little unhopeful right now about the situation. Fox News is slamming Senator Obama and Papa Joe Biden 24 hours a day 7 days a week to its millions of viewers in an unjust smear campaign. Yet none of my friends want to delete their MySpace profiles. Still, in the midst of uncertainty, I found that I can make a real change that extends past the outcome of this election.
What could I do after I delete my MySpace profile? I called the customer service department of Sargento Foods today and said, “As long as Fox News maintains its unfair and unbalanced reporting during this election, I’m going to make a point by boycotting all the products of companies that sponsor Fox News and advertise through them. I vow to never purchase another product of Sargento Foods as long as they advertise on Fox News and therefore are supporting unbalanced and biased journalism.” I know that in the big scheme of things this will never make a difference in the world, but for a small moment I had a little hope that I was standing strong by investing my money into something I believe. On the phone with the woman at Sargento Foods who was very nice to me, I felt that my one vote for their competition was important.
Now, I’m going to call Crest and say that I have used their product for the last thirty years, but yesterday I went out and bought Colgate. That’s not all. Crest is owned by Proctor and Gamble which also makes Bounce, Tide, Gillette and other products which I did use but won’t anymore. I don’t know who the president is going to be for the next four years. Although my friends and family are saying that I’m being weird, that it doesn’t make a damn whose products I buy or if I have a MySpace profile or not, I am sure of one thing– this election will have brought a whole lot of change for me.
I keep thinking about an underlying motif in the movie the Matrix. We don’t change other people, we change ourselves. We don’t bend the spoon, we bend our mind. In this election about change I am very surprised at the reluctance of people to change the products they use from those companies who advertise on Fox News to those who don’t and the reluctance to delete their MySpace profile and change to facebook or any other social network.
I already know the outcome of this election. There will be real change for certain and that change will be me.
