"I haven't listened to a band that made the hair on my arms stand up like that in years!....Damned amazing!!...." Steve Allen-President of the Detroit Blues Society

"Wow! Girl, you shred that guitar! Rad! Totally impressed!" Suzy Cole-WRIF-FM DJ

"Good voices...great guitar solos...beautiful sounding group! I LOVE her voice!" Salam Wreck-DJ for D12 and Obie Trice

"The next band piqued my interest seeing that the oldest member was 18....they had been selected to play in the 2006 Detroit News Battle of the Bands so I was anxious to see them for the first time. Wow! All the members have a future in music and they tore the place up! Scoring with original songs and well played covers, the quartet ended their set with a smoking version of the Allman Brothers 'In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.' Not an easy song to play." Tim Richards-Review from BluesSource.com of 2006 Oxford Hot Blues and BBQ Festival

I just wanted to stick my head in to say thanks for your support and your friendship.

Since March 1st I’ve been able to add over 10,000 friends to my site and I’ve been overwhelmed with the incredibly nice comments of encouragement. Its great folks like yourself that make Myspace the place to be for independent musicians and I for one can’t thank you enough.

I wish there were a more personable way to express my gratitude but please know that I’m speaking from my heart with unspeakable thanks.

Sincerely,

Phil

Here's The Bluescaster's plan:
Daylight saving's time "spring forward" should occur on a Monday at noon so it would cut an hour out of the workday instead of cutting it from our *%&#@$ sleep!
Have a great weekend!

The DEATH of MySpace Friend Adder Bots...

Ha ha! You gotta love it! Got my own "death of" out there. :-)

Seriously, though... there IS a problem here.

In case you're new to MySpace Marketing, the "good 'ol days" have passed. Back in the day, you could take a friend adder, load up a thousand profiles to be added to your friends... and let 'er rip. Come back an hour or two later and you're profile had gone for 0 to 1,000 FAST. Very powerful!

But, MySpace got smart...

Tom and the folks at MySpace added in a CAPTCHA system that required you to enter numbers and letters from an image... something your bot couldn't do. And, this CAPTCHA would come up every 40-50 friend adds. So, now you had to sit at your computer and "wait" for the CAPTCHA to come up and enter it to be able to move on adding friends. What a drag!

Then, the bots fired back...

The creators of the friend add bots added in a CAPTCHA bypass... so the bot would skip any page that required the CAPTCHA to be entered. Nice! Now, we were back to the good old days... load up your bot and let 'er rip!

But, it didn't last long...

The guys and gals at MySpace caught on and put the CAPTCHA bypass to an end. Now, if you failed to enter the CAPTCHA you were presented with... you got another one. And, if your bot skipped CAPTCHA's, it would skip ALL of them. Meaning, you'd plow through 1,000 profile id's but NONE of them would be sent friend requests... because they all got skipped.

Today, not only is the CAPTCHA system effectively keeping the bots at bay... but, MySpace is now logging IP addresses. So, if you add 1,000 friends in a day, MySpace will find you and DELETE you!

Which effectively means... friend add bots are DEAD!

Or, are they?

Hey thanks for the add. It's always nice to meet new friends who enjoy my music and I'm pleased you like what you've heard so far.

Now I'd like to invite you to enjoy a whole half an hour program of music on my NEW Classic Cool Music Channel.

All you need is a good cup of coffee, a bit of quality time and your imagination to let Bellatrix weave her magic.... the treat is on me.
