An offer I felt able to refuse [May. 23rd, 2009|12:02 pm]

I don't mean to be cruel, or anything, but I just denied a band's MySpace friends request.

They seemed like a nice enough bunch, and I'm sure they're kind to animals, never forget their mum's birthday, and all. But the note they sent along with their request somehow didn't grab me.

Hello, We're a new band from the UK in a similar vein to 'Snow Patrol' and 'Coldplay' i guess and we'd really appreciate your support.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but there was something in there that just didn't inspire me to investigate further...

Is it the putting of band names in inverted commas?

Yeah, I get quite a few requests from bands who mention things like 'jazz fusion' - which certainly isn't in my list of likes.

I have a tendency to listen to a few minutes, max, of a band's tracks before I reject them, even if they're not my style. If they gave me a, please tell us what you thought message, I just tell them they weren't my style.
