Myspace is the ultimate internet-music double edged blade. Never before have so many depressingly unfit for real life people made such catastrophically horrible, HORRIBLE music. Sometimes you really can't tell if it's a joke, and other times you KNOW it's not a joke, and yes, the middle school white rapper's mom really did comment on his page and tell him he was "da illest",and that she was his "numba 1 fan".
On the OTHER hand, it's a great way to browse music and meet people that you would NEVER EVER bump into under any other circumstances. I got my first track into print through myspace. I met Jason (
dj socky) and mike (
polygonskull), and now they're releasing my album under his label,
Fantasy Violence Records Here are interesting artists I've found on myspace:
A myspace artist I'm more than jazzed by is Teen Moms. He's got this green-myspace artist feel to him, but the fun in his music outshines the slight gameboy/fl studio vibe. creme of the myspace electro-dance crop.

Freddy Rupert makes some very interesting music, and has some of the most engaging live shows I've ever seen. He's garnered alot of attention and critical acclaim with his project "This Song is a Mess, but So Am I". I absolutely hate it when people compare new artists to already established artists, but I can't help thinking "if Morissey was roommates with Ministry in college", even though he honestly sounds like neither.
"When I originally started this project in May 2003, it was a way for me to deal with the death of my mother from cancer in January of that same year. I don't think I really had any intentions of dragging it out this long." Freddy still makes music but not under the name "This Song is a Mess, but So Am I".
