OK, been a couple days at least, time to complain about MySpace. MySpace makes you lazy. Like, really lazy. My guess is that the reason that so many profiles are practically unreadable is because people are willing to put in just enough work to change their background, but that’s about it. If it sucks beyond that, laziness prevents it from being fixed.

That’s fine and dandy, but what REALLY bums me out is the fact that MySpace has made bands lazy. What happened to a band having a website? Does that not exist anymore? I was looking for shows at aestheticized presents >>> and found that as I went to check out some of the bands listed there, something like 90% of the links go to a MySpace page. Dammit.

Listen, I don’t want to go to your MySpace page. I understand that MySpace is helping connect you to your legions of fans, but dammit, I want to see some thought and work and love that went into ye olde band website. I want to be impressed with the design, I want to see something different than other bands, I just want to see something OTHER than MySpace. Please?

The funniest part is that I guess MySpace is actually down at the moment for maintenance (despite the fact we are an hour outside of their maintenance window), so guess what all you bands that I was interested in learning more about? Not going to happen. There’s no way I’ll remember to go back and check you out later. Not that I’m some important dude, but your laziness has lost you a potential fan.
