For those of you with MySpace, I'm sure you've encountered a steady flow of music that you've never even heard of.
I used to delete all mine, but then I figured what's the use in that? It's actually a good way to find new bands and keep updated on them. Honestly, I don't take as much advantage of this as I could, but I'm pretty damn tired.
ANYWAY, a majority of these requests are usually musicians who's style doesn't really peak my interest OR bands are bombs that make me wonder why anyone being able to put music on the internet is even possible.
Then we get winners like Mew. This group just requested me a few days ago on MySpace and I was pleasantly surprised. Their song Surprise was actually on the Gap soundtrack a few months ago. I knew I'd heard the name before, but I thought I was just reminiscing to my PokeMon days. Nope.
Again, they're a band I can't exactly describe. They describe themselves as "alternative/indie/rock." I supposed I'd follow that, but you'd also have to throw a little bit of Imogen Heap to the mix and she chooses to not describe herself.
I wonder how these find people. There's got to be something. I guess I'll have to sift through the bad to get to the good. The winner's make the pain worth it.
(I'm sure this wasn't as good as it could be, but you try working two jobs and being witty.)
