To Late MySpace

MySpace - the best destination for band/music pages on the planet (cannot argue this one people) has finally, after years of user complaints and plunging stats, stepped it up and redesigned the pages so they’re at least tolerable to look at.  But dammit, it just might be too late.  Seems MySpace is on the road to fold.

Avoidable.

You know, if someone listened to the rest of us pixel aesthetes who predicted the MySpace demise years ago, due to the impossibly tacky, unrestrained – a la bedazzled – design practices of the majority of their users, they might be gaining users faster than they are losing staff instead of the other way around.

Check out Professor Green’s MySpace page. It’s not just tolerable – good!

Oh, and listen to Professor Green from my fav new music app mFlow

Do you still use MySpace?

MySpace sent me a Tweet…

…in acknowledgment of my total faith in the awesomeness that MySpace is destined to be (is actually, it’s just caked under layers of frenzied bedazzle):

Dudes sent me this little response. Discreet, yes (refreshing coming from them), but still I’m humbled…

Anyway, I just love these guys. More musicians live on MySpace than anywhere else, and to think they’re done is not thinking at all.
