It’s been a few days since I dumped myspace music last Friday morning. Since then I have been feeling better and happier without it. Myspace is not good for your music at all, and those that think it is, are delusional than I thought. You know deep down inside that I’m right and telling the truth. Why obsess with myspace? There is nothing important about it to your music.

The reason all them unsigned artists/bands run their own accounts is because they are not famous. The famous musicians in a major label that do have “official” accounts do not run their own myspace. Because they are too famous enough to be in that website. Famous people don’t have time for the internet, they are too busy with their own careers. Famous musicians do use the internet like we all do, sure, but it’s very rarely they go online to surf the net, only when they are taking a break.

The truth is unsigned bands/artists who have their myspaces are people with no lives. Most of them pretend to be popular on that site, by adding everything randomly as they can. Most of them accounts in bands friendslists are not even their true fans, people who do not even associate with their music at all. People who just added the band for another friends count. Bands wasting time adding everything like adding other bands/artists randomly, adding supermodel women, celebrities, etc. Why do you think a lot of bands have at least 20,000 friends? People barely adds them the truth be told, they just waste a lot of time adding everything they can. Bands who are not really popular here in this area who pretend to be online (I know quite of few bands and artists in this area, I’m not naming names, who are not popular at all but they pretend to be in myspace), this is why I call some Capital District bands/artists fakes and posers, not naming names. It’s not just with Capital District music, it’s the same with all bands in myspace, pretending they’re popular in myspace when they really get “jack squat” for crowds at their live shows.

In my myspace music account, I liked to keep a low profile. I don’t go around adding everything I can ’cause it’s a waste of time plus, I wanted to see if some people out there truly enjoy my music for real that way and it does work. I’ve had come across some people in myspace that were true fans of my tunes. The thing with your music, you want to see if people out there truly love your tunes, not distract it by pretending that you’re popular.

There are other websites where I can promote my songs where people can listen and enjoy, I’ll find something has nothing to do with myspace. Any website that where you don’t go adding friends, or waiting for your e-mails to be read and replied, and stupid bullshit like that. Any website where you don’t go looking through everyone’s profile and keeping in touch with everyone.

I’ve always thought about launching a “protest” website to start a war against myspace of how that site is damaging the music industry but there’s gotta be enough myspace haters to do something like that though, so I’m not going to do that. There’s nothing slanderous or libelous for having an opinion on something. But don’t worry, one day down the road, the bands in myspace are going to realize that I’m right and they’ll leave the site to start the war on their own.

Myspace is not important. All it is just a little toy, just a play thing for people to drool over. I’ll keep my personal account and will use that but I won’t add anything randomly, I’ll only add people that I know, the true friends that want to keep in touch with me, and the local bands that I know well that I’ve seen at the shows. I’ll keep my personal profile at a low friends count, lower than a 100 friends. I won’t be in my myspace personal profile much though, I never have been in my personal page much and will remain the same. Myspace will keep adding more features just to keep people addicted, just to keep people on the site.

I will never go back there for music ever again. People can live their lives without myspace and they can live their lives without me there. I’ll be on other places on the net where my followers can drool over like my blog and stuff like that. You won’t miss me.
