So what should be on my MySpace page?

An entrant in Ze Frank's Ugly MySpace Competition Another one I get asked an awful lot - particularly by musicians who are just getting started in the online environment. They've heard about MySpace, and that it's where all the musicians are - but they've had a bit of a look through and are a bit bewildered. Let me help: What should be on your MySpace page? Frankly - as little as possible. While it's true that the purpose of having a MySpace page is to direct people to your own site, that doesn't mean your profile should be so ugly that it has them running and screaming.

A quick one today as I'm tying up some loose ends on some good (professional) news. The Artists In Education program continues its good work - this time in the form of a mural at Redbank Valley High School By all accounts the Hello Tokyo show at Brother Bean Thursday night was really, really good. I also have it on good notice that the drummer was "hot". Duke Ellington's only opera is performed in CA. What should be on a band's MySpace?Frankly, as little as possible.

Postcard from Chicago: Jazz gig
http://andrewdubber.com/2008/05/10/postcard-from-chicago-jaz...Postcard from Chicago: Jazz gig In Chicago, all Hammond players are blind Of course, buying jazz records is not enough. In Chicago, you have to go and see live music. Traditionally, it’s blues, though jazz is acceptable for the first time visitor. Especially when you’re me. We had a flick through the local gig listings and ended up with a spot called the Green Mill, which had a vocal trio on that night. The singer was good - Kimberley Gordon was her name - and the guitarist (whose name escapes me) was more than competent - very Jim Hall, if you know what I mean (and if you don’t - it’s not important) - but the organist on the Hammond B3 was just amazing. His name is Chris Foreman. I’ve only seen a Hammond in a jazz band live once or twice, but I’ve heard it a lot on record and I’m a really big fan. But to witness an absolute master was a real treat. A couple of beers, a good sound system and some incredible musicianship all make for a good night out.

RE: So What Should Be On My MySpace Page
http://zenjunk.tumblr.com/post/34269345So what should be on my MySpace page? | New Music Strategies NP, Andrew, glad to assist. Hey, J, good to see you here. I agree about Fuzz - spam is just not tolerated for the most part, which is one of the reasons I love that site. It’s been great to be part of forming that social norm with a relatively new network, as opposed to MySpace, which is permanently set in its ways. And while hopefully folks will follow Andrew’s advice here, the fact that most people don’t keeps a lot of folks I know from even going to a MySpace URL. So yes, MySpace is still somewhat necessary, but hopefully it won’t stay that way. Sorry, Tom ;)

http://zenjunk.tumblr.com/post/34264230So what should be on my MySpace page? | New Music Strategies Hey, Andrew, I agree with most of this, as well as your appraisal of a MySpace presence as an unfortunate necessity. However, it seems odd that you put “your influences” and “blog entries” under things that should NOT be on your MySpace page, and then spoke about the benefits of them. Good article overall, thanks for sharing. Clif
