    ship them over to me, will you? I like hearing about new music like that. I had to close down my original account and start over. Only 1 band has spammed me.

    and sometimes i do too but it would be nice if they made an effort to listen to what i have up but i know they're not.

    it would be nice if they dropped me a message or something. i've got music up too. i'm not just there for their ends.

    Go to your Account Settings >>> Privacy Settings >>> check the box that says "Block Friend Request From Bands".

    have you posted comments on a band's myspace? I was posting comments on edwin mccain's and howie day's (for example) and then suddenly lots of bands asked to be my friend and even messaged me. They would say, "hey I noticed you like howie day. Check me out, my music is similiar." Now I quit doing that and it's slowed down. I was wondering if I had blocked bands in my new settings and I haven't.

    I guess you'll have to spam others then. Start with brian vander ark. I'm sure he'd like your music. I would too but I don't know your myspace address.

    yeah, a couple came directly as a result of posting a comment on the muse page i'm pretty sure. the rest are coming from keyword searches i think.

    i think i will block the band requests soon. i don't really want to though since my page is a band profile and some of my "friends" have band profiles as well.

    but the fact that they have a "block requests from bands" toggle pretty much says it all.

    i don't want to spam anyone. i've sent requests to people i know and bands i like and that's it. the whole thing is just so weak.

    all right, that's pretty shitty if they are blocking bands. what kind of musicians are they?

    I was looking on google for your myspace by your name and I found moyboy! (Not you though) I already own that cd, live from nowhere near you, but I still asked him to be my friend. I completely forgot about that cd.

    some people on myspace are pretty pathetic. Yesterday, I got a friend request from an old guy (my age) from a near by city. I accepted him as a friend but deleted him once I read his horny profile and saw how his friends posted sexual comments on his page. This is the second time that happened so I changed my age to 99.

    Yep, I've actually deleted bands from my friend list, for doing that. I'll support anyone who is up and coming; and yes, it's nice to tell myspace friends that you've made some new music, but these spambot bands just leave "comments" that could easily have gone in a bulletin. And they never even pretend to engage in conversation. It ruins the possibility of community between artists, which could be the very best thing about myspace music.

    yeah, i deleted the first couple that i added before i caught on. i was naive enough to think they'd actually come across my page with intent beyond spam. silly me.

    I guess I misunderstood what spambot meant this a.m. Maybe I did not get enough sleep since I saw crosby, stills, nash & young last night! I wonder if they have a myspace.

    I can't find senrock's myspace. She was on my original account.

    Where are you, Emily Rugburn?
