MYSPACE, as discussed in an upcoming New Pollution editorial has really changed things. The context of the editorial primarily involves the music world and how all artists, live and defunct, seem to be devoting more time to their myspace pages than their actual websites.

And then there's the issue of friends. Who's in your Top 8? On personal pages, myspace can often act as sort of a press agent...'X and I have broken up, clearly, as she's been booted from my Top 8 and my status is now 'divorced'' can all be read into a simple profile change.

This can also play out in the musical myspace world as well, as Rough Trade closes in on a relationship with Basia Bulat, they've earned top friend status on her myspace. Bulat plays saturday at the drake with the always-raucous adam brown.
