I Haven't Got a Myspace Because Myspace Fucking Sucks By 2006 so many people had asked me if I had a Myspace (and if not, why not) that I developed a sixth sense for whenever the question was about to be asked again. Honest, I'm not kidding! It was like people's faces or tone of voice combined with the context of the conversation or summat. So I thought: sod it, it'd be easier to write a bloody song about this than keep having to tell everybody every five minutes. If people genuinely think Myspace is great, that's one thing... but what really irks me is when people say: no, I agree, it's shit, but you've GOT TO have one. No you haven't. Stop endorsing mediocrity, stop buying into stuff that you know is shit. That way lies madness and Channel 4. For all that, though, the song is very much not about having a go at other people for having a Myspace: it's just about why I haven't. That said, I heard the other week that Myspace was running adverts for the BNP, so if that's true you'd need a pretty good justification for staying on it. If you like the music that I play and I recognise that this invites a hundred dirty looks It's like a first year student stuck in halls and this one thing holds constant while the world proceeds in flux: It's not the world's most pressing wrong It's not because of who the thing's owned by Rupert Murdoch is just one of many capitalist crooks Don't ask me why again! So if you don't like Myspace take some leaves out of my books |
