"Hello cuntos, no thanks for the add. Considering your shitty music plays non-stop on the radio at work sending my mind into a spiral of drudgery and misgivings and that your album is on the shelves of every fucking Woolies in the UK, I'm very surprised that you felt the need to spam me with a friend request. Look at your friend count already - 22481 and rising - probably not because you're a good band but more to do with the fact you go round adding whatever sucker you think'll accept the request. Cheap and dirty tactics, the Feeling. You are greedy - greedy for fame. So fuck offs."

I thought this would be a DJ Martian thread.

they've already received three more comments from people saying "thanks for the add! LOL XXX" and I only posted the comment about 5 mins ago.

I keep thinking I should get back on My Space so this is a useful deterrent I suppose.

this sort of thing makes me want to be on myspace, for the pwnage opportunities.

Why didn't you just redirect their Myspace to Meatspin? That's just lazy.

I'm not sure I've ever knowingly heard this band

They're a little bit like McClusky crossed with the Venetian Snares, only less pop.

'Fill My Little World' is the 'Good Enough' of the 00s.

OTM

tbh i haven't knowingly heard them either. just thought it was ridiculous that they had to go around adding random people considering they're already supposed to be an overnight sensation.

"Why do Coca Cola still bother advertising?"

oh shoosh you.

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 09:56 (seventeen years ago) link

it's a good question in both cases.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 09:58 (seventeen years ago) link

coca-cola advertise because the idea is you see the ad and thing "mm, i could really do with drinking a coke right now". The same is very unikely to happen to me and the Feeling.

That said, I haven't heard them yet so I might just go on their site and... DAH NO I've done it now haven't I?!!

i drink Coke most days but never because i just saw an advert for it. they only advertise because Pepsi do and vice versa.

branding - cause spam give you all sorts of good warm fuzzy feelings. ("its not spamming because our music is actually good")

Ned Raggett won't accept my friend request :(

I am starstruck! The Feeling wrote back to me and left a comment on my MySpace:
