Stupid Front Page Promotions on Myspace

May 13, 2008 on 10:47 am | In Music Industry News |

Here is a new feature on Chip Collection where I make commentary on current bands that shelled out tons of money to put their face on the front of myspace. They all have a common thread: I can’t remember them the next day AND they sound like the mid 90s in a bad way.

Mates of State

Mates

This band is making some type of attempt to be cool and original, but the only thing I will ever remember about them is their promo photos. In five seconds from now I will not remember their band’s name, fortunately.

Why I hate them:

1. They sound like Dido meets the Olsen Twins and Alanis Morisette screaming, trapped under a rusty buick regal.
2. They wear eyeglasses in their pictures, which means they are dickholes in real life.

Positives: The girl looks ilke a dried up version of Pamela Anderson.

Check them out if you dare. Link

A Fine Frenzy

This would be innovative in the 90s, but not now.

Come On, Come Out

Why I hate them:

1. The girl has no idea what she is doing or where she is. I think she has a touch of Alzheimer’s early.
2. The video takes place in a car.
3. The video takes place in Pete N Pete’s neigborhood.

Well I have no idea what I’m listening to in her video. I just see her red hair.
Rip off-ville-city.

And for my last stupid myspace front page act:

BEN JELEN

Have you ben jelen? HAVE YOU??? Do you own a steam punk type-writer? Do you sound like shit?

Ben Jelen is the type of music I would listen to on the radio if I was too tired to change the station while driving home. Hopefully you won’t start to drift out of your lane like me.

Okay, thats it for now. I will likely find more crap on the myspace front page soon.

Jesus Christ, stick to making music for Subway commercials.

  2. First off I must say you have no idea what you are talking about! If you actually listen to the lyrics of the song come on come out then you would get the video. A Fine Frenzy is a wonderful band and if you actually took the time to listen to her music you would like her. Then you would know what she is all about about and know how simplicity is so her.

  4. I wonder what kind of music you appreciate.. hmm, better not.

    Give a better listen to Mates of State, they’re great. Forget the pictures. Then go listen to The Research for something more sophisticated but still cute!
