There must be more of you on MySpace.. I just signed up a week ago (am I late or what?) Well maybe it's not for Stones fans.. maybe there's fellow musicians here then. I think it's a pretty cool way to get your music out.

We could add each other. This is mine:

See you all there.

Here's me! I make funk-rock versions of Nintendo tunes.

Woa LieB.. that's very cool!!

myspace is kind of over - everyone uses facebook now.

Glad I held out in getting on myspace, then. I think I'll take the same approach with facebook, and soon enough that will be over too. Just think of all the time I've saved!

facebook is actually kind of fun. Myspace was just annoying, you would click on someone's page and their shitty music would blast out at you. Some people have so much crap on their it's impossible to navigate their page.

Wasn't looking too good, but I was feeling real well.

To Simon

I love the two songs you put on your myspace. Can I ask how did you do it?

I am from the States. I like the style. How is the weather there?

Getting cold here.

Well good luck on your music

If you mean uploading music: you need to create an artist profile to do that. If you mean recording: I recorded rhythm guitar first and played the solo over it afterwards.

The weather is good here I think, but way too cold for me. So I spend most of my time in bed.

And Cindy, I know about Facebook but it doesn't offer the same possibilities for musicians as MySpace. Plus, none of my friends have Facebook OR MySpace. In Holland there's a very big thing called Hyves. I don't have a profile there though. For contact with friends, I prefer to just go out and meet them (or talk on the phone, or e-mail).

I only use MySpace for getting in touch with other musicians and people from abroad.

is there an IORR Facebook group?

That's mine.

Hopefully, CindyC won't think that what she's hearing is "shitty music blast(ing) out".........

Declan

Well, there are more. Me is there too, albeit under a different moniker.
Facebook on the other hand, is seen by me as an intrusion into my privacy, so I abandoned my test account. They want to know who your friends are.
I don't like people who don't care about me and what I do but instead just say "tell me who your friends are and I tell you who you are." This is ridiculous.

Oh - I'm sure I'm not talking about anyone on here's page. Most of the younger people I know have awful hip hop stuff.

I agree on what you've said about Facebook. I do have both, a facebook and a myspace account, however, I've always liked myspace more.
I know a lot of people say facebook's better than myspace and that myspace is rather boring, but I personally think that facebook kinda interferes to much in your private life. They want to know too many details about you. Not that you have to answer them all, but it's a matter of principle.
So, in that aspect, I find myspace more appealing. Besides, I've always liked experimenting with colours and layouts which you can't do on facebook.


Aww, Simon, I really love your music! Django Reinhardt was such a great musician! I love Roma & Sinti music (and Minor Swing is my favourite, so it's call you have that on your profile!). Very cool you do something along these lines.

The problem with most myspace pages is that the music automatically starts, slowing down the showing of the page. Not to mention the awfully ugly backgrounds...

What is Myspace? Why should I use it? Will they pay my bills? Sorry to be ignorant - I know what it is, but I am talking about the big picture here. Most social networks try to hijack you to make fortune and fame. That is my take on it. I make my living from services on internet...

Bjornulf

thats some cool music Simon, You should Post some more tunes...

here's my stuff

Heavy Stones influence (as I'm told)

You are definitely correct about possibilities for musicians on MySpace, it's a much better way of getting your music out there. However, that is exactly one of the reasons why I stopped going on to the site. I kept getting too many solicitation, and friend request from people/bands I never heard of and I really just wanted to use it to keep in contact with people I don't get to see that often.

I don't have a ton of time talk on the phone, go out or even do email conversations, but I still want to keep in touch. Myspace and Facebook allow me to do a quick note to someone, get a quick reply - it just keeps it simple and it's fast. I also like being able to see my friends photos without having to have them emailed to me, then taking the time to download them, and hogging my computer space.

I wouldn't share my Facebook profile on here or anywhere else though, it's too private, and I'm keeping that one for people I truly know.

There, you said it, Cindy and Simon.
MySpace is a good opportunity for musicians and bands, because of the online audio player and to update the gig-dates and get them across with related bands and friends....for free!
Also, some MySpace entries must be the worst-coded and bulkiest websites ever.

for private persons I don't see any reason to be on there - unless one is an attention whore or a kid.
