Why Myspace Isn't As Cracked Up As It Used To Be...

Okay, I know I'm just reiterating what was already said in my video which is posted below, but what was up with the whole My________ at the upper left hand corner when you sign in. And the homepage is everything tv/music related.  My friends are mostly musicians. Those who I've known personally have not signed in for ages.  Musicians and other people use the site for marketing their businesses/music.

There are quite a few advertisements, on my actual page it mentions Zoodu which is a way to "Pimp Your Profile" which is very time consuming for someone like me.  Also my comment board is a little askew due to a long message someone left me, so now my page looks wack. Also myspace I feel has lost some of it's originality, due to advertising and spanning across different topics of interest, also it kind of copies twitter with the idea of what's trending, and that of facebook with what is your current status area. So yeah, that is why I think Myspace isn't as cracked up as it used to be when it first came about.

While on the subject there quite a few details with typing on here that I would change lol but I won't get into that now.  =)


Here is my video:

Myspace Isn't As Cracked Up As It Used To Be...

V.V Brown

A UK native who has a very very unique sound to her music.  In an interview of hers, she labels her music as alternative pop music with a bit of retro style mixed into it, and on her facebook page her music is described as soul, indie, R&B, and pop type music.

I first heard about Brown from her song Shark in the Water which was background music for a commercial for the show Degrassi.  In the summer of 2010, I went to a Maroon 5 concert, and I was not sure who his opening act was but then I recognized the last song she played and it was Shark in the Water. It is really a catchy song that it cannot be forgotten in my opinion.  Click the link below to view the video for Shark in the Water.

Shark in the Water


She wanted to be a musician when she was 5.  She started her music life on her mom's piano.  And from there she has created songs about life experiences in her debut album "Traveling Like The Light". 

Originally V.V was very popular in the UK but she wanted to come to America to spread out her music.  Since she came here she has been having a tough time getting her music and name known. But I don't see how that is possible what with her different music style.  Her music definitely portrays the retro aspect because some parts can sound like they are part of 70's type music, or some sound of that nature.  In that same interview mentioned earlier, when asked what type of music she's experimented with V.V said she's ventured into 50's, punk, reggae, really a bit of everything.  To give you the reader a feel for what I mean by her having a retro side take a look/listen at this next song of hers:

Not only does her song have a sense of 50's to it, but also her style is that of that same era, clothing and a little bit hairwise in my opinion. This last song also has a monster mash sound to it as well.

Rooney

An American Rock band from Los Angeles, California who have toured with The Strokes, Weezer, The Sounds, Keane, The Donnas, Travis as well as many others.

The band members consist of Robert Schwartzman (lead Singer), Taylor Locke, Ned Brower, Louie Stephens and another band member whose name, for some odd reason was not listed & which I also had trouble finding.



Robert Schwartzman's name may or may not sound familiar to you; however, he is the brother of Jason Schwartzman.  Jason has acted in films such as Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Rushmore, I <3 Huckabees and Funny People just to name a few. 

 Jason Schwartzman

Robert may also look familiar.  That is, if you have seen The Princess Diaries being he played Princess Mia's love interest, Michael in the movie.
