I've never been a myspacer, though I've peeked around. one or two
bands I used to follow are/were on there. I've done the internet
community thang for many years, I find that it may be worthwhile (I've
met a handful of truly, truly talented poets online) (not talking
about this list, haha, but perhaps it applies), but it also seems to
go downhill eventually. I'm not enamoured of the internet like I used
to be.
nice page though, simple & sleek.
