Yeah, A Fir-ju Well is all right.  I think they're from my neck of  the woods 
(east Atl) and I sometimes see their shipping crates and  whatnot lying around 
near the EARL.  Kind of gets your attention  when you figure out it's not junk 
but a purposely placed advertisement.

I don't think MySpace is a copy, good or otherwise, of mp3.com. That 
site was in a league by itself. I think the "band promotion" aspects of 
MySpace were an accident - not intended to be part of the original 
concept - a geek-socializing tool. Much like utility poles weren't 
intended to be a place for bands to advertise gigs! Mp3.com was a 
totally new paradigm, and I'll say it again, I MISS THEM!

Speaking of advertising gigs - how many of you have noticed the trend 
of "found object gig announcements"? For the past few years, a local 
psyche band , A-Fir_ju_Well, (anyone heard them? I hear they're quite 
good!) has been hand painting their gig announcements on old freight 
pallets and shipping crates and leaving them at strategic locations. 
I've seen Hip-hop shows painted onto old auto body panels or busted TV 
sets and left in well travelled medians. As long as they pick them up 
afterwards, I think this is a pretty innovative and effective way to 
reach the public!
