Yourspace Maybe. But Not Myspace

Myspace is supposedly the pinnacle of music social networking sites. Well, if you're wondering why my myspace page is over six months out of date then you should know that despite multiple emails to myspace explaining that my email address has expired, I have received nothing but identical copied-and-pasted standard replies (each taking nearly two weeks to arrive) telling me to reset my password using the email address... that I had already explained wasn't working. No sign of them actually reading my correspondence in the near future then...

I recognize the currency of Myspace at this moment in time, but in the longterm, I have yet to be convinced that it will in the future be relevant - particularly if they continue to treat professional musicians with the attitude they've shown towards me. If I ever regain access to my account, I intend to redirect it to my own website, and then forget about it for good.

There are good things out there though. I have since the beginning of our winter tour last month been addicted to a recording of Bloch's Prayer by cellist Olly Coates & others (accordion?).

It just so happens he's sharing a concert platform with me in London on Thursday. You have reserved tickets, haven't you?
