Set up on Wordpress, buy your domain (we got thepulsebeats.com through their service for a few quid a year), set up on bandcamp for nowt and you're away.

MzAmar replied to King Lemon's discussion Is Facebook killing music? How important are Facebook likes?"I know exactly what you're talking about King Lemon. I think when it comes to bands, bookers use Facebook likes as some kind of measure of your success. They're looking to see how many people want to be kept abreast of your…"
Wendy replied to King Lemon's discussion Is Facebook killing music? How important are Facebook likes?"Hey! "Like" my band fellow rock'n'rollers! 1/3 of my "likes" are from my family members!!
Ramma Lamma!"
Elle Diabla replied to King Lemon's discussion Is Facebook killing music? How important are Facebook likes?"Do you know what is really fucked up? Some FB pages MAKE you hit like to hear the music. That is such an awful scam. So it's totally not accurate whether that many people like the band or not. I don't respect it when a band sets that…"

Elle Diabla replied to King Lemon's discussion Is Facebook killing music? How important are Facebook likes?"I'm a booking agent and I look at every bands FB. I don't decide to book them based on how many fans they have but the feature "how many people are talking about this band" does help me gauge general interest by others. If a band…"
Jersey City Mods replied to King Lemon's discussion Is Facebook killing music? How important are Facebook likes?"As fans in search of new music, having a network of friends whose taste we trust often leads to FB recommendations that can be pretty on target. When our FB friends "like" something, we'll give it a glance. It is useful in that…"
Bibliodiscoteque replied to King Lemon's discussion Is Facebook killing music? How important are Facebook likes?"I'm confused by the entire 'Like' thing. Simply because a post, video, or whatever, has a number of 'Likes' has no real bearing on whether or not people have actually listened to it. Simply clicking the box has always seemed…"
The Mighties replied to King Lemon's discussion Is Facebook killing music? How important are Facebook likes?"The problem is that Facebook is the primary channel to advertise...speaking of my country, Italy, almost every bar or music venue is now making advertise only trough Fb, ignoring other ways even for example paper fliers or similar.

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.

Tropic of Cancer/Delta of Venus
I believe I am posting way too much but without all the fistfights and kids jumping out of (1st floor) windows because of summer break I am a bit bored. Anyway, there was a Henry Miller discussion in this group recently and while watching After Hours for research purposes last night Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller came up. I took that to be a bit of a sign. The most impressive thing about Henry Miller was his ability to riff on any given subject for five minutes or five hours at a time.…See More
