I joined MySpace a few days ago to find out what the hell this is all on about. So far I can say: Very little. I just don’t get the fascination for viewing poorly designed personal pages for the off chance – very off chance from the looks of it - to maybe meet some interesting people.
It does seem to be an OK hangout if you’re into music. One of my favourite bands, Zombina and the Skeletones, is on it, so that’s the one consolation I got so far.
I was surprised to see that John Spillane is actually on it as well. Spillane is something of a Cork hero. Admittedly few have heard of him even outside of his native city, but here at least he has his loyal fan base. I can’t say that I really take to him. His songs are very personal and there is a distinct ring to them that have them stand out from the crowd, but his extreme Cork accent makes most of the songs borderline annoying or at least ecstatically comical. Sometimes I wish he would stick to writing songs and having others sing them.
Ah well, check out his site and judge for yourself.
