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,...

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...

Background Check
Setting up the initial profile in MySpace is a breeze – hey, if I can do it, anybody can. But sooner or later, after coming across other profiles you admire, or perhaps finding yourself becoming just plain bored with the look of your page, you may want to do something to fight the blahs. One if the easiest ways to freshen a room is a new coat of paint … and one of the easiest ways to brighten up your profile is to create a new background.
It’s funny how long it took me to do this, because it’s really not difficult … but in my early days of setting up my profile, I feared I would be unable to work with backgrounds because I lacked HTML or CSS experience. (I have since gained a little of both, just enough to be dangerous.) However, some helpful computer hotdogs out there have taken it upon themselves to make the task of virtual wallpapering easier for us all. Surprisingly, there is no feature within MySpace to tell you how to do this (someone out there please correct me on this if I’m wrong)....
