Where does all the Spam come from on Myspace?

Is it just me, or does the heaviest amount of what is effectively spam on Myspace come not from the pr0n merchants, pill sellers and Adware pimps but from...

......the musicians?

Seriously, what is it with these guys? When did they all wake up and think millions of pals on myspace = FREE SCHOOL DINNERS? Because all I get these days are enterprising young souls who want to

* really, really be my friend, except they don't because they're just pretending
* really really want me to go to their awful gig in some basement in Iraq
* really, really want me to buy their crummy T-Shirts and wear them with pride, despite the fact that where I live dayglo pink T-Shirts with 5 guys gyrating wildly on it will get you five flavours of Knuckle Sandwich (and an introduction to its angry cousin, Captain Boot-to-the-face).

.....all this without never having heard them (or wanting to), or bothering to interact with me beyond clicking their "accept this" links. Sorry, are you the Rolling Stones? Are you? Are you really? Because if you are, you might have better luck when sending me something like this:

Hello chris

has invited you to join the street team on MySpace. A street team is what a "grass-roots" organization might be called that is called upon to advertise and promote an event. Originally, street teams were used by punk and unsigned bands to help promote their upcoming shows or recordings. Often unpaid, these teams are often comprised of teenagers who are rewarded with free band merchandise or show access in exchange for a variety of actions;
-bringing friends to the shows
-convincing friends to buy band merchandise
-phoning your local radio station to request their songs be played
-putting up posters
-posting to band forums or spamming bulletin boards online (MYSPACE MYSPACE MYSPACE)
-getting people to go to the website (myspace site!!!) in the hopes that they buy the cd or other merch
-maintaining blogs or websites dedicated to the band

....yes, because I have nothing better to do than walk the streets UNPAID waving your terrible CDs at people in the street like some punk 16 year old kid on work experience. The fact they even happily mention "spamming bulletin boards" seals the deal for me. Sorry love, as you don't appear to be Mick Jagger or even Take That I think I'm going to have to pass on your wonderful offer of slave labour.

I'll be keeping the box of fifty thousand CDs you sent me though. I have a few wonky tables that need levelling out. There's a new wall needs building in the garden, too. And a path. Oh, the possibilities...
