This evening I’m sitting on the couch next to my sweet husband with my laptop, researching some artists for upcoming interviews.

You’d think that would add up to a lovely evening wouldn’t you?

You, my friend, would be 10 kinds of wrong.

Why? Because instead of listening to this artist’s great music, on their nicely designed web site, I’ve been sent to purgatory Myspace to listen to their songs because they don’t have their own music on their own website.

Really. What if you came to my blog to read my posts and I had lots of pictures of me, videos, a store...but no actual blog posts?

That wouldn’t make any sense would it?

Neither does sending people from your website to Myspace.

Myspace is ugly, annoying and unreliable. For the sake of all that is good and right, please post your music on YOUR site.

Why do so many artists do this? I honestly don’t understand. Teach me.
