Recently, a Baton Rouge, La. band called Bones lost their MySpace URL to the Fox TV show of the same name. After a press release and a bit of whining, Mr. Tom MySpace made good, and the band got their URL back.
How often do you search a band or label on MySpace by guessing the completely logical URL, only to get a ridiculous result that has nothing to do with the artist?
We compiled a best-of list for your enjoyment:
http://myspace.com/touchandgo
A photo of a shirtless, tattooed guido from Hawaii who is apparently into surfing.
http://www.myspace.com/tvontheradio
This belongs to a squirrel in Colorado who is a massive fan of Borat.
http://myspace.com/gangof4
Two young girls from Wildomar, Dom (Where??) who are into Chucky the homicidal doll.
http://myspace.com/djam
A cat who can fire a gun. Don't believe it? There is a picture to prove it.
http://myspace.com/minorthreat
This belongs to a fella who was negative-9 when Minor Threat split.
http://myspace.com/theslip
A Westside hipster with a nice 'stache who might actually know who the Slip are.
http://myspace.com/sickofitall
An artsy bloke from Malyasia where Sick of It All is huge, I am sure.
http://myspace.com/fugazi
Taking that URL is just wrong. Maybe you were one of those guys that Ian publicly tossed out of a show for acting like a "jackass."
http://myspace.com/thesmiths
Middle-aged guy from Alaska who has a Mariah Carey song streaming on his page. Ouch.
http://myspace.com/subpop
Metalhead from Spain. Right on.
http://myspace.com/zero7
A twenty-something film buff.
http://myspace.com/mattcosta
A jock who is -- you guessed it -- a big
http://myspace.com/superchunk
Snowboarding bloke from the U.K.
http://myspace.com/happymondays
This belongs to a raver from Down Under.
http://myspace.com/css
A teen Gap employee who is going to Washington in a few weeks.
http://myspace.com/fourtet
A British hip-hop head who straight up took the URL from the artist himself. Pretty rotten.
http://myspace.com/spinner
We wish we knew this guy. Streaming 311, background of half-naked Jessica Alba and looks almost exactly like K-Fed-Ex. You're HIRED, dude!

HAHAHAHAHA. That's all we can really say.

Try this one! I guarantee it will take you to the page for a band called Small Town Sleeper whose name the public will be hearing A LOT in a few months.

Hi. tom wats poppin. message me once u get this message
Pauletteat 11-13-2006
I think it was nice of Tom to add them back. But personally i wouldn't have let it back. They knew there a was show out and they should have been cautious when choosing a name for a band.
lindsat 11-13-2006
then delete top from your friends list it's possible i did i hate him.
LeeAnneat 11-13-2006

Hey tom,Myspace iz really fun I meet so many people in my home town That I didnt even know! Lol ''If u wanna talk,chat,get 2 no me just go 2 url!!''

mySpace has its ups and downs, but it is a great way for unknown artists to get their music out in front of people (much better than trying to get radio stations to play the music).
There does seem to be a lot of favoritism to the major labels, people (companies) with lots of money, etc. which is understandable in a capitalistic society.
However, fair is fair. It would be real cool if mySpace Music worked for everyone, not just the major labels.
huniiebear!!at 11-13-2006
i know how to get a song on space all you ave to do is look for an artist and yea then on the side f the cong it will have these things that you can push and one says add then you press it then there you go!!!!

i loooooove myspace, its helped me keep in touch with all my friends since i am away at college. Some of you people are just plain stupid, with your questions and what not or you are just new to the site. I think myspace does tons for small unsigned bands.
MUAH

Dumb article. A waste of time. Any idiot should know that this occurence can and does happen regularly. Who writes this stuff? Oh, Mike Spinella. Got ya.
