Five Thousand MySpace Friends.

You don't accept Friend Requests from bands, I see.

To avoid being compared to a fourth-rate band, you'll have to stand on some of our backs.

Aww. I'd add you if you accepted band requests, Tom.

You already have my personal profile friendship.

I don't have my own MySpace profile so I sent a message to Tom from my band's profile page [*ahem* myspace.com/pharmacyspirits) saying I'm a fan and he accepted us. He's even one of our "Top Friends".

I now moderate Cambridge club Zuzu's Myspace page (which is registered as a band) and I ran into the same add request denial. Former FMU deejay Jantine B is a frequent current Zuzu deejay, and FOTs like myself and TD from Big Digits work there, so I figured it would be a worthwhile Best Show myspace friend to boost the count. http://www.myspace.com/zuzubar if you want to send us an add request, Tom, and I will gladly accept. Boston-area bands The Bags http://www.myspace.com/thebagsofficial and The Prime Movers http://www.myspace.com/theprimemoversgo are also worthy allies (I do managerial and promo work for both, and have gotten some play from FMU allies like Evan "Funk" Davies, Bill Kelly, Terre T, and Joe Belock). Three more prospects toward 5K, at any rate...

Best,

Tim

since you have bestowed activation upon my account plus provided me with laffs during workout time, which makes me look insane to all the other people working out to their toonz, I will friend you on MySpace, it's the least I can do.

Whenever I see the subject line of this thread I finish it in my mind with "...can't be wrong"

Which then, for whatever reason, makes me think of "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back."
