I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My favourite band is Wide Mouth Mason .
I like music and that which relates to it. I've blocked Friend Requests from bands to try and avoid random bands trying to add to their numbers rather than making an effort to actually get their music out there. A lot of band requests where the music doesn't really match any of the artists on my far-from-comprehensive list was the motivation. I'm of the mind that if a band really does think I would be into their vibe, they'll make the effort to send a message as to why they should be added. MySpace music-wise, if I like the first song I hear on your player... I add. If you put some creativity into your request message... I listen a bit more. And if you somehow tie in to one of the many music groups and artists I already dig... or are actually looking to build a fan rather than a number, I often buy the music. ;) Messages over random friend requests are preferred unless there's some other way I may know of you...
I love the Canadian music scene that continues to build beyond the realm of the major multi-national labels still trying to make the world fit them rather than adapt to fit an ever-changing world. I do what I can to support and foster the music I love. In my offline life that is the real, I'm a lawyer with experience in drafting/reviewing a myriad of different agreements and licenses among other things. So if you're an indie musician or label looking to retain legal counsel, message me. If I dig the music, I may offer a discount on my retainer.

(for some reason, the site I built this from couldn't find Wide Mouth Mason's Where I Started otherwise my entire first row would of course be Wide Mouth Mason)

Whittling...

When it came down to it, gradually paring down the list here as opposed to starting an entirely new MySpace seemed the better route. In the end, whenever that will be, I plan on having music I actuall...

My Boys

I've loved each and every episode of this TBS show since it first started airing... and sadly, the season finale aired tonight so there's no new episodes until the summer! I think the show's writing i...

Down but not out...

A few weeks ago, I decided to implement the "no friend requests from bands" feature... primarily because it was clear that a number of bands were spending any free time they had (some may have had mor...

the 24

I finally got around to getting a Top 24 after the feature has been around for a few months! Most musicians there are friends and/or are musicians who create music I want to support. Most non-musician...

Cool grooves: Bocephus King

Those who know me well won't be surprised to see Bocephus King referenced amongst the many genres of music that I enjoy (but do not list comprehensively) here on MySpace. It all began with a MuchWest ...
