More about Myspace
So I’ve started to promote the blog on Myspace, mostly by hitting up bands and adding them as friends. (www.myspace.com/bigrockfinish) I fully admit in that I’m cheating and using an automated system, I can’t help it, the idea of sitting and clicking over and over again on the “Add Friend” logo on band pages sounds daunting, especally since bands usually have their music in the myspace player, which has a tendancy to crash my browser. (I will be getting a new, less-crashable computer soon!)
The response so far seems pretty good. I’ve stumbled upon bands who are already telling me about upcoming shows they’re doing, bands who are informing me about their next EP releases and trying to figure out how to get demos/EP’s to me, and I’ve even found a few willing writers who will hopefully bring this site more music than I would know what to do with.
I’m also getting excited the release date of this site is becoming closer. I can see the little count down on my first pending entry. I’m also seriously nervous since I still have so much of the back-end programming I need to coerce my friends into helping me with because I can’t figure PHP out to save my life.
Alas, I’ll sign off now, and continue to plug away!
Bah, I still have to backdate an entry about the latest jemo show. I’ll do that next!
