When bands and artists on myspace reply to your messages to them- especially when you ask them a question about something. Just got a great message from Declan O'Rourke there. And now it's made me excited about his new album (which was what the question was about) in september :D
I think it's brilliant that these very busy people take time to reply to their fans. I really appreciated it! I've even had a reply from the Travis myspace, and we know how busy they've been the last while :) it's much appreciated! Cheers Fran and the TWT (or whoever handles the mail)
Anyone else had any nice responses from bands/artists they've messaged on myspace? |

| yeah! when the Travis Myspace first started, I messaged it, and got a reply from Mr. Fran Healy himself. I think I was a little more excited than what was healthy for me... |

Oh yeah, it's great to get them from the Travis boys too! I was a little excited too, especially since it was the same week i first met them- what a week! :) |

| He's an Irish Singer/Songwriter. He was on V2 records but they dropped him after 1 album (losers!), but he's amazing. He's got a myspace and here's a video of one of my favourites on his album, Since Kyabram. There's more videos linked to that on YouTube, so just watch a few if you're not sure :) |

Thanks for answering me, Paul. I'll take a look of his videos tomorrow, and I'll tell you if I like him or not.
By the way, you are the guy who likes The Frames, aren't you? If you are, you're discovering me artists I will never find by myself ;) |

Well if you like The Frames, then liking our Declan should be a given- cos i love em both!
And you're welcome! :) |

| Never happened, then again I never really write on an artist's myspace page because I don't really expect them to read it or anything lol. |

I haven't really had any replies from anyone famous, but I've had friends requests from a couple of bands - usually I'm the one requesting friendships :o)
MySpace is a great invention, I think. You don't have to rely on radio to hear about new bands. |

I got an email from the manager of one of my favourite bands last week.
And it wasn't in reply to me, but completely unexpected and spontaneous. We enjoyed a brief correspondence for, mmm, a whole hour! I've met him a few times at gigs. He's v nice. |

Yeah- Paolo Nutini tried to add me last week. I sent him a message asking him why (i've met him and didn't like the bloke) in a polite way- but had no reply.
Was very chuffed when Alan Parsons added me (Floyd fans should know...) :D |
