I’m saying I got the email a few days ago (via the myspace account) that this could be done. I tried to follow the procedure and nothing would happen.
I’m glad it’s working now, but other than showing how MANY myspace friends we have, it doesn’t seem to let us communicate with any of them any better.
(ie, myspace won’t let you bulk email or message friends if you have over 2,000…so we can’t do anything to directly communicate with them when we have a new release. This still doesn’t address that problem.)

It works now, I checked last eve. I also talked to both WP guys and RN guys, and the RN guys really want to become a “trusted partner” with WP so their widgets will be allowed here, but they haven’t been able to “get on the list.” I don’t know why. Could be some technical issue with regards to security. At any rate, it is being worked on.

I tried that a couple of days ago and it wasn’t working.

Et voila. Found out they will let you merge myspace friends with rn fans, and a couple clicks later we have thousands of rn fans. It’s like magic.

HERNE! HERNE! HERNE!
Don’t even use sarcasm or that particular someone will refuse to work on the impending track.
He’s like the groundhog, but instead of his shadow it’s enthusiasm that causes him to hibernate.

Oh! Sorry! Silly me… I know it must take a long time to encode those .wav files… My mistake.

So, yeah, like…whenever you’re ready we’ll do this thing.

Herne,
You must be VERY careful in how such things are worded. If presented in the wrong way (too eager, too complainish, too impatient), then certain unnamed sources will punish us by withholding final mixes.
If we act like we do not care or are not excited to hear a final mix, a final mix comes faster.

So be careful not to walk too hard on those eggshells mister.

I noticed that the other day. We did a drop of about 100 points in one afternoon. (I check about 4 times a day…yeah, I’m a loser.)

I just visited our RN site and noticed that we’re dropping precipitously in the rankings there (once we were in the 250 range, now it’s the 530s), which is strange because it seems more people are visiting this site. I wonder if there are a bunch of other bands that are suddenly beating us and that is what is causing the drop. Guess I’ll have to be sure to visit the site everyday, or twice a day, without signing in so as to give our rankings a boost….
