this...is the voice of darth vadar
one more cool thing about tonights' show at jake's: cnn is going to be there.
they're doing a bit on myspace.com and profiling how helios (one of tonight's headlining acts) is using it.
not sure if we'll get any coverage (along with us, last winter also uses myspace), but it's still pretty cool.
does james earl jones still do the "this...is cnn" voiceover?
if yall haven't checked out myspace, it's a pretty amazing site. 40MM users and the 15th most site hits in the entire US internet (as of october 2005) according to this businessweek article. it's a mishmash of stuff (blogs, friendster-like bios, etc), but the coolest thing about it is how musicians can create a profile and post up to four songs to stream from their myspace page. talk about instantaneous distribution and promotion. just last year, with my old band king friday we schlepped around cambridge and allston handing out cd's to bars. having a press kit is key, but being able to hand out stickers and flyers with your myspace url on it, and have someone hear your songs is so much more effective.
so if you're sitting on the fence, here a preview of the music:
anyway, hope to see some folks out tonight. 8:30 show time.
