John Battles replied to King Lemon's discussion Is Facebook killing music? How important are Facebook likes?"Hey , Glenn. I'm good , thanks for asking. GRANTED , IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT FOR ME , AS i DON'T HAVE A BAND . I'M NOT MY OWN BEST PR GUY. I USUALLY TAKE GIGS IF THERE'S A MUTUAL GENUINE INTEREST. I don't know that FB…"
John Battles replied to King Lemon's discussion Is Facebook killing music? How important are Facebook likes?"YOU'LL RECALL , THAT BULLSHIT ABOUT "HOME TAPING IS KILLING MUSIC". THAT WAS A BIGGER DEAL IN THE UK , BUT SOME ALBUMS , HERE , BORE THAT WARNING.....Like , if you taped , or , later , burned an album or a self- made compilation…"

B.B. Fultz replied to King Lemon's discussion Is Facebook killing music? How important are Facebook likes?"Which is pretty sad, really.

G. Wood replied to King Lemon's discussion Is Facebook killing music? How important are Facebook likes?"The main thing is still to play out a lot and be good. Social media helps in that it introduces you to people, if they like you, if you charm them, they become predisposed to liking your music. Because most people--present company excluded, I'm…"
Glenn Barton replied to King Lemon's discussion Is Facebook killing music? How important are Facebook likes?"Oh yeah, I intentionally avoided FB for about 3 or 4 years because I knew it would be a time- gobbling nemesis. After band was up and running, it was a necessity. I was right about the time...

Glenn Barton replied to King Lemon's discussion Is Facebook killing music? How important are Facebook likes?"Yeah. It's getting ridiculous. One good part about the hideous job of hi-volume retail is that I see a few of my FB friends and talk to them in person. Tell them when a gig is coming up, hand them a flyer/schedule (remember those- I think they…"
Shaun Coleman replied to King Lemon's discussion Is Facebook killing music? How important are Facebook likes?"Yup. We have 14,000 likes and I am not sure how many know that we are a band. We do regularly get new people out to the show because they like our social media. These are people that turn into fans that like us because they just…"

Sir Rapley replied to King Lemon's discussion Is Facebook killing music? How important are Facebook likes?"The Facebook "like" system plays too much of a big role in peoples heads to whether or not what their producing is worth while. Its ridiculous to think that any good record company or any half decent booker/promoter would trust a websites…"
Tim replied to King Lemon's discussion Is Facebook killing music? How important are Facebook likes?"What secures gigs, sales or whatever yardstick of success you may choose is not about social media likes but good music.It is easy to get likes on social media - gaming the system is of no value - it is engaged fans who matter. But that said if the…"
The Revox replied to King Lemon's discussion Is Facebook killing music? How important are Facebook likes?"Actually we miss money to have a good web site with tour dates and everything... in this condition, Facebook is a good free tool to keep in touch with fans. (and Garagepunk.com to !)
But as human beings, we keep talking to people... out of the…"

Very depressing to see advertised the other day that the maccabees are "the best guitar band in the uk"
really...?
is that what it has come too?
not only do we have very little garage bands but very few from America tour here either. Look at Prima Vera in Barcelona. Bands like Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees have all played there but London is just sucking on lemons.
"Hey why doesn't another famous Britpop band have a revival and lets enjoy listening to…
