The RPM Challenge

(Tuesday, 06 March 2007) Written by Endicott Road

Last night I took the plunge and actually signed up for MySpace. My artist name there is still the same, Endicott Road, and I uploaded 4 songs. All are available for listen and/or download. There are no pictures or notes or other items to pretty up the site. I'll be doing that over the next few days. Hey, I'm new at this.

I did listen and download some folks music on MySpace, and, while I can't be specific, I did like most of what I heard. Stop by for a listen if you get a moment.

BTW - I didn't mention it, but I have been posting to AcidPlanet.com for several years under the same artist name, so feel free to stop by there if you get the notion. I have some 40 songs posted there.

Now to my MP3 player and it's POS battery, to listen to some great music I downloaded. Love it!

Regards.

1 why myspace?

can you (or anybody) tell me why you'd set up a myspace page with all the limitations I read about when you can simply do your own website and post anything? I'm old and confused

2 because...

Myspace for good or bad is where the music scene currently resides.
Myspace is ugly for sure but it is easy to update and is actually pretty cool for networking. I have heard that some clubs actually book based on the number of myspace friends you have.
So... please add us.

MySpace is a chaotic shambles, and it's actually a bad place for "the scene" to be- it strips artists of their character and uniqueness. Not surprising that a website devoted to teenagers and pedos would do that- teens notoriously love conformity, especially in the guise of NON conformity.

I still think that artists are better off having their own site. If you must have a blank MySpace page with a link to your own page, fine- but it's a travesty that people consider MySpace a legitimate tool.

plus, myspace is free.
and if you don't know anything about designing a website, it helps until you can find someone.

Who has time to manage or maintain their own website these days? There is almost no reason anymore.

6 I did it because

I am no good at designing and/or maintaining a website. I know nothing about it. And, like Tuesday said, MySpace is free. On my budget, free is good. Also, a number of artists who did the RPM thing also are on MySpace. I also did it so that I could listen to some other's music. I agree that MySpace has it's faults. Last night, when I signed off, I got a flashplay movie about some hot babe wanting to chat with me. Forgive me, but it looked like an ad for the online version of a 900 porn service.
Nonetheless, I did it for a good musical reason.
