Is it MySpace or CraigsList?
One never knows what one will find in the offing when perusing MySpace. I probably shouldn’t be surprised by this, but lately for the first time I’m noticing that the Bulletins section is being used for announcements other than gigs, radio play information, and so on. This morning I found an ad for an apartment near a Chicago-based recording studio (“Musicians Welcome!”); a classic little black dress for sale; and an announcement from one comely young lass informing the world (our little corner of it, anyway) that she will “wash the breeding heap of socks” under her bed … tomorrow.
his is not to say the Bulletins are a waste of time. One day, amidst the announcements for shows, CDs and band merchandise, I stumbled upon a link from a DJ for a YouTube video that was of great nostalgic interest to me. It was a video of Spirit, the Brit band who gave us songs such as “Nature’s Way” and “I Got a Line On You” circa 1970:

This video is from 1986, increasing my interest because, that very same year,...

In the Event of an Event ...
We’ve discussed various ways to inform your contacts about your band, your recordings, upcoming gigs. But MySpace provides yet another way to get the word out: the Event. This option is located under the “More” tab on your MySpace profile screen. Place your cursor over the tab, select “Events” to open the Events home screen. MySpace Featured Events are displayed here, which may or may not be music-related. You also have the option of browsing existing events that have been created for the MySpace community by other members. Planning a trip, and want to find out what’s happening at your destination city? Enter the country and postal code. Looking for an activity for a specific date? Select the Start/End dates from the dropdown menu.
Now, let’s get up close and personal, with events relating to you and your profile. At the left side of the screen is the following menu:
- Event Invites
- Events I’ve Posted
- Events I’m Attending
- Create Event
Each of these is self-explanatory, and the middle two are particularly welcome to those of us who tend to maintain multiple reminder lists and...

What’s the Secret Code?
Musicians’ sites do not live by communications alone! Obviously, you need to let people know who you are, what you do, putting your best foot (or song) forward. You’ve shared all the information that’s fit to print … once you’ve done that, it’s time to upload your art. For those of you already well versed in MySpace Music, this may contain pretty elementary information, but read along anyway; a little review occasionally is good.
MySpace allows you to upload a maximum of six tunes, which must be your original compositions. (I know that’s probably a moot point, considering you’ve created the page to promote your work, among other things.) MySpace Music offers options of whether you wish to make a song available in its entirety or just a segment, whether you want the song to be available for download, and so on. From the “Profile” tab, select “Edit Profile” to add or change your featured songs. You can indicate the order in which songs play when friends visit your page, and you also can allow friends to add your songs to their profiles.
But let’s say you’re ready...

Neighborhood Watch
Generally, I think most people play well with others. It’s a simple matter of “do unto others” – three little words that never fall out of fashion. Keeping this in mind throughout all aspects of life is good practice, so it stands to reason that interactions in the MySpace community are served equally well by this sage advice. Here are a few checkpoints for exercising MySpace manners:
- Comments: A friend’s Comments section is an ideal place to express admiration for a fellow artist; it’s also the perfect tool to thank your new friend for adding you or for accepting your request. I know we’re all busy, but try to take the time to post a brief Comment when you receive or become a new friend. You’ll immediately make a good impression, and your profile will instantly become prominent to other friends who visit your new friend’s page. They may like what they see and contact you, thereby continuing the circle of MySpace life …
- Approve/Deny: You’ve received notification of a potential new friend. You eagerly click on the “New Friend Requests” link, and there you see a name, picture,...
