Your music is not safe on Myspace

For a while, artists were able to enjoy a certain level of confidence when uploading a song to myspace, which, has options for the artists to upload mp3’s and choose whether fans can download the file. After a while, SNOCAP joined with myspace to offer users a method for selling their music online. For a while, it was good.

Recently, I open up a bulletin and it stated that a Music Ripper is being used to download music from myspace that artists once believed were safe from download. It continues to say that somehow it must be stopped.

I then, through my genius, began my search and I found the Web site.

I input the information for a myspace page I hold with my original music, and, sure enough - anyone can download the files. Besides deleting my files from myspace’s server, I wanted to inform others of this nasty tool that now can be used to download music files from their said myspace page.

More on this, coming soon.

Heart and Fergie

This is one of those moments when I feel there are greater mistakes in this world than the Iraq war. I don’t care if people think Fergie nailed it, they’re stupid and uncharismatic. Besides, Fergie’s a trannie.

Opeth announces Watershed cover art

Opeth announced the following on their MySpace Blog:

Now released is the cover art for our upcoming album “Watershed”. It features a man sitting before a desk and a very tall window, somewhat bowing his head to either read what is in front of him, or hanging his head in shame, sadness, or disbelief - you decide.
It was created by Travis Smith in cooperation with Mikael Akerfeldt.

Sign up and post a comment on what you believe the man sitting before the desk is doing. An example would be as followed:

I think he’s looking at the genital wart on his pecker.

-or-

He’s writing a review of a restarant which gave him tape-worms.

Sign up, it should be fun.
