Well now, the MySpace police may have removed our No 2 Pay 2 Play pages without a decent word of explination and they may censor and remove our blogs here on this page without saying why but you did start your own no pay to play pages right? You did start your own page so it doesn't matter that they took ours down right? There should be another 20 or 30 pages up by now, cut one head off and another ten grow right? You did do it didn't you? Most of what was on that My Space page of ours is now over on the Organ forum and interestingly enough we just had the second national newspaper on the phone this week - one of them doing a feature on the evils of Pay To Play Play and another on corporate censorship on the web... Yes Tony, James and the rest of you complaining everytime we name you, we did again, we'll be a thorn in your side for a long time yet, you can call your lawyers again... we ain't letting up yet
Just remember you new bands, there is never ever any need to pay to play, you sohuld never be foreced ot buy tickets and if you do you are wasting your time and money. There are no shortcuts, if your band is good then get your music out to people, good oldfashion demo in the post is how you kick things off - if you're good people talk, word spreads. people write about you, play you, offer you decent gigs, tell their friends about you - you won't get anything out of pay to play other than an empty bank account and a bad reputation - if we see you on those pay to play bills then we know you're not worth bothering with...
right, on with this week's Organ and the waiting of the I-DEF-I Recordings to drop and how good is it to hear this ONE DAY AS A LION stuff! Excellent debut five track from the voice of Rage Against The Machine... Did I mention Fight Like Apes this week?
The Organ forum for those who want to join in, the Pay To Play arguement carries on over there, and the forum is there for you to tell people about your bands or gigs or for you music fans to have your say or whoever or whatever else - http://organart.freeforums.org/index.php
I'm kind of expecting all the ORGAN My Space pages to be removed any day now, so if you want to stay in touch, come join in over at the forum before we're gone from here and woof woof bark bark bark......
