olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: June 19 2006, 10:41 I occasionally use a community called MySpace, and I was surprised to be asked by Mike to be added as his friend! I'm guessing it's been set up as some marketing thing, 'cos his MySpace homepage has the Night of the Proms tour dates. Still, it's nice to be his friend.   Mike's MySpace page -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

There is no "right" one, I am adding this post to communicate my thoughts to share them with like-minded souls who will be able to comment in good nature.

Navaira Group: Members Posts: 481 Joined: Jan. 2005 Posted: June 19 2006, 16:45 It looks authentic to me... but to be honest -- I don't know for SURE. Most of artists' MySpaces are authentic, though.

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: June 19 2006, 17:31 In Keane's case their MySpace page is related to the record company.The one that OracUK showed me seems to be *real*... -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

Navaira Group: Members Posts: 481 Joined: Jan. 2005 Posted: June 19 2006, 17:40 It's most often easy to find out which ones are real and which aren't; it's most difficult with the ones that don't give much information. Keane have a "luxury" MySpace, with a special version of the player. Consequently, it's... a bit... well I'd say it's against what MySpace seemed originally to be, i.e. a place where -- in theory -- you can become "friends" with, well, real people, even if some of these people are famous. If you look at Keane's MySpace... well, it's nothing -- NOTHING more than a promotional tool. Snif. Well, I think Mike isn't big enough commercially ATM to have a representative doing his page, so maybe... just maybe... it's him, there, sending out requests.

EeToN Group: Members Posts: 845 Joined: Sep. 2001 Posted: June 19 2006, 17:52 Hmm... It's interesting to see people like Jean Michel Jarre and Robert Miles as Mike's friends. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

The Bell(end) Group: Members Posts: 1051 Joined: July 2005 Posted: June 20 2006, 08:22 There are multiple accounts for most reasonably well-known musicians, except Steve Hillage.

Navaira Group: Members Posts: 481 Joined: Jan. 2005 Posted: June 20 2006, 12:58 It's at www.myspace.com/raygrantmusic and I was actually joking -- I wasn't aware it IS possible to disable signatures here... They're no hassle here, but there are forums where people put like 1 MB of pictures into each signature... -------------- http://www.raygrant.com :: My album 'Exorcism' is out on iTunes now Back to top

Anaon Group: Members Posts: 77 Joined: May 2006 Posted: June 21 2006, 13:44 I've been asked my Mike to be his friend as well so, I suppose it's not really him It's easy to see for example, some "small" bands are running their pages, like Wobbler, or Anekdoten I guess... But the big ones, I'm not sure at... By the way, I have added some of you, so if you hear about Magmor...

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: June 21 2006, 14:04 It looks fairly real: well designed, up-to-date news, etc. Compare it to http://www.myspace.com/mikeoldfield which is obviously not him. However, I think he was in a hurry (if it is him) when he entered the profile: MySpace Profile - Mike Oldfield, 102 years old, Female, , , UK, Light + Shade -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: June 21 2006, 17:49 Heh - thanks or the adds and invites...I guess the latest Mike space is for real, but whether or not it is actually Mike playing with it, the answer may be in his choice of friends. Would a fan add so many Trekkie links? Like the good techno-freak that Mike is, he'll discover a new site and dive right in, then get bored/distracted and move on. That's how I was with my Space anyway. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top
