Myspace.com, most of us have an account there. If we do not, then our friends do. A blogging site which seems like any other at first, but then it blooms into something unexpected and wonderful. Myspace.com has become a community where people from all around the country, even the world can connect. You can find local bands that are still in the beginnings of producing their music. You can support local music around the world and open the door to a variable musical wonderland. All you have to do is follow links, similar to Alice following the white rabbit. Follow the link from one of your friends to one of their friends and so on until you have opened yourself into a much larger community.
The band community on Myspace alone is unique. Where in the normal world bands are competitors, vying for the same gigs, online they are supporters. Each band supports others because it is not a competitive space. Myspace is simply about getting their music heard and supporting local and small time music. There are bands of every type that you can stumble across in your travels. Parody, R&B, Industrial, Rock, Emo, and Pop can all be found side by side supporting one another. It is a musical enthusiasts dream, right at their fingertips.
Simply by clicking the button you can browse through hundreds of musicians of any one genre. It gives you the power to explore more than just the “popular” artists and find music that you truthfully enjoy. All it takes is a scroll of the mouse to be surprised by artists you never knew existed, and music you might not have thought possible. Too many of us are letting this amazing tool slip us by. Supporting local bands is important. Especially because many of them are better than the popular artists out there today.
