Myspace was my first introduction to having my music on the world wide web (small caps for lack of emphasis)....and it was pretty good as a way to show my friends what I'd been up to in the studio, very few new people "found me" that way,as at the time the myspace craze was in full swing, and the sheer amount of bands and musos on there gave most people a headache and constantly full inboxes of "listen to my/our new track". The swamp effect meant that no one was really getting noticed without relentless PR tactics....which I never subscribed to. I slowly stopped bothering with the site, until just a few days ago... I logged in with no other expectation than an inbox full of bands spamming me, and maybe a message off a long lost friend in the USA or similar. Well that was a mistake....I had been invited to play two different festivals (by this time long over), asked alot of questions about guitars by people I really would have liked to help, and been offered free studio time in the UK. All missed....... ....I guess as the myspace tsunami subsided, people actually got a chance to use it for what it was intended for, and the whole insane popularity contest "I've got 778960966-09797866876987,0000 friends" type vibe had gone, but too late for me, as I just plain forgot about it all! The silly thing is.......I probably won't log in for another year now....... |
