I'm glad to see that the artist who performed this isn't just talking about it, he's actually doing what he says. I poked around a little ways, got to his MySpace page, and found this: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=34458280&blogId=460628318 http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&..., where he not only provides the link to buy his newest album, but he also provides a link to download it too (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HMMBYOTZ http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HMMBYOTZ).
As a side note, I don't understand the recent trend for bands to only have a MySpace page, and not have their own site. It just seems a little tacky to me.
- borism 17y agoI think the recent trend you're referring to is not-so-recent for more than a year now and is already on the decline. But reasons are quite obvious.
- skolor 17y agoI was referring to the past two years or so that I've been seeing it as "recent". It may not be internet recent, but I still consider that fairly recent in terms of music. As far as it goes, I dislike MySpace because it is an excused for a half-assed web designer to slap something together and call it a "Band Site". I've seen a few MySpace pages that blew me away, and that really showed how good of a platform it could be. Those were, by far, the exception though, so every time I see a MySpace band page, I think "Wow, these guys are only willing to put this much work into their online presence?" Sure, my idea of a "good" site is rather skewed, but a lot of band sites are downright dreadful, and there really isn't an excuse for it.
- callmeed 17y agoLily Allen's career took off because of her myspace page as she uploaded songs/videos. In her case, she never needed a website.
- kierank 17y agoBeing Keith Allen's daughter helped too.
- snarkyturtle 17y agoI really wish that muxtape would get their act together. Even if it would be "for bands only" the interface and quality of it far surpassed myspace. Why sites liske purevolume and myspace are the defacto site for promoting bands is beyond me.
- ciupicri 17y agoRegarding the trend: I think they're trying to kill two birds with one stone: they don't have to pay a web designer and they're part of a social networking. The last one helps them promote their music and keep in touch with their fans. Btw, some MySpace pages look good enough/decent, at least when compared to full blown sites which don't offer too much info and are also implemented 100% in Flash.
