Oh, MySpace

Copy&Paste of my MySpace Blog - which I update about twice a year:

This is what I saw on the MySpace homepage 2 minutes ago:

The Cure – Album Exclusive

The Cure return after an 8 year break from the studio with their new self titled album. Hear the whole thing only on MySpace.


Excuse me, but The Cure are back after 4 years, not 8 years, and it was their 2004 album that was "self titled", not this one, which is called "4:13 Dream".

Dear MySpace people, please check your references before you press "publish" next time.

Thanks.

Is it really so difficult to look things up before you publish something? All right, I do tend to be a little know-it-all (I still think "Klugscheißer" is a much better expression for it), but come on, you don't need to be a fan, just use Wikipedia, for heaven's sake. Once Demi told me I should become a music journalist, and I told her I can't because I'm not competent enough, but when I see things like that I think maybe I'm underestimating my skills. Or overestimating the journalist category. It's probably the latter.
