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:

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...

Drop and Give Me Twenty Names (Part 2)
Welcome to the second half of MySpace Networking 101! Last time, I was waxing enthusiastic on the benefits of networking with fellow MySpace members, how the community as a whole can work together to share information on how to change the look of your page, help spread the word about upcoming events, notify fans of a new CD in the works and when it might be available for sale/download, and so on. Just as you would with other networking opportunities (e.g., job fairs, workshops), keep an open mind – expand your horizons, get out there and explore. Communicate with a wide variety of people, even if at first you think they’re not necessarily on the same “page” as you. You never know where a connection will lead, or what opportunities may arise from a simple cordial greeting. And don’t forget to reciprocate! You can never be too much in the black in your karma bank, no matter who you are.
In conclusion, I present ten more names:
- Wes McGhee (http://www.myspace.com/wesmcghee) – Americana from England? Why not?
- Ellen Rosner (http://www.myspace.com/ellenrosnermusic) – Another great Chicago stalwart.
- Nathaniel Braddock (http://www.myspace.com/nathanielbraddock) – Lilting jazz-style...

Is it MySpace or CraigsList?
Myriad networking via Bulletins for fun and profit.
