MySpace Friends

[filkertom]

I'm having lots of fun with MySpace. I'll be rotating the music up there in the next couple of days. But I think the point of the exercise is to [a] get friends and [b] discover new music.

In that spirit, I'd like to aim you towards several folks on my Friends list who you may not have heard of:

• Melissa Reiner
• Gypsy
• Acacia Sears (cacie here on LJ)
• Ashley Rose
• Peatbog Fairies
• Possible Oscar
• Mich Sampson
• Lemon Demon
• Brent Gunter

Just my Friends page has a bunch more superb musicians, both funny and serious, some of whom you likely already know. The exploration is the fun.

The fact that it's owned by Fox is what's keeping me from expanding my MySpace account (the only reason why I got one in the first place was so I could post well-wishes to Logan Whitehurst)

I'm not awfully thrilled about that myself. But it's a relatively benign outlet to further my market, and there are a bunch of good people on it. Perhaps together we can keep it from being overrun with Teh Suck.

Keep in mind that The Simpsons, which regularly skewers republicans as evil, is also owned by Fox. So just because something is owned by an evil corporation doesn't mean it's inherently just as evil, though it should count as one strike against it.

I know Mich is here on LJ, too, but am not certain of her username. filkerdave would know.

It took a post from Mich herself for me to remember which near-anonymous handle on my friend's list is her. Try: callylevy.

I'm not on MySpace, but Weird Al Yankovic (http://www.myspace.com/weirdal) is.
