Musician Leaving MySpace for .COM

In this interesting blog post, Brian of the band Therefore I Am laments the downward spiral of mySpace as a good place for a rock band to connect with fans.

A few great quotes...

About mySpace:

"Now if people want to check out my band they are bombarded with movie ads and singles dating ads and other bands and videos of people getting hit in the balls"

About someone else owning the COM domain for his band:

"tempted to register www.fucktheguywhoownsthereforeiam.com"

What to do next?

"In the near future we're going to have a new website and we're going to try and make it as interesting and thorough as possible"

My take on this: It's critical to use all available digital assets to advertise your band. You can't just depend on mySpace or bandCamp.com or Twitter.
