Music, internet, mates...shit that rocks!

Article by Gina

This week I have to say I've talked to some of the nicest people ever!! And what's got us in contact with each other is music! It just totally amazes me how many people I meet through music, but then again it has amazed me how many people are so naive about music. A few people have asked me how I can take everything I do so seriously and said that music is just what you hear in the shops or on your radio and it made me wonder why people think that you cant try to get involved with it??

I mean someone ultimately has to make music and someone has to promote it, otherwise these people probably wouldn't be hearing the bands they do when they turn their radios on! Why can't it be me? There's more to music than laying down 10 tracks on a cd and calling it entertainment! The entertainment in music is not just the cds. It's the press, the people, the touring, the fashion, the atmosphere at a show, the feeling you get when you come face to face with people you look up to in the entertaiment industry and definately the new people you come across, talk to and mainly becomes friends with! I hope to find someway of proving this to people in other forms rather than just my website, one day I will. If you join a street team instantly you make friends with other people like yourself because you have the same interests and it's so amazing! Last night I was on a forum and there was a post from some one thanking a band for being together because they had made so many friends through their community. They also said I was one of the koolest people they know! And man! That felt so nice that someone can say that about me and what brought us to get to know each other is a band?! GOD BLESS THE INTERNET!

The only sad thing about all of this is that my internet is my only contact with these people, except the occasional phone call. I'd hate to think that I'll never meet anyone I have become friends with because of all this. I'll hopefully one day go on to travel around and meet the people I promote and interview, or even help them out on their jounrney to make their music! But for now the internet is my main contact and it's just odd to think although I haven't met some of you face to face I consider you to be such good mates!

Anyways that said and the time going 1 am I should sleep (and I'm rambling like I always do in this bit!) but for now..................ROCK!

Love ya!
