A Review of MySpaces you should visit. By Trev.

"My Space, My Space" is a humourous song by Midland Alt. Comedian Owen Niblock who played the Writers Cafe - it sums it and blogging in general. He also has a song about a Frog! Check it out.

Of course Trev's is the biggest and best My Space and all these are on his site.

Surianne is a Gibralter born latin singer songwriter who is brill - currently No 3 in a recording opportunity competition. I've promised to bring her up to Teesside for the Riverside Fest if funding pans out. Check out her song Impossible - http://www.myspace.com/surianne Remember Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac - Peter disappeared for years owing to mental illness but he's back with Splinter group and all the old classics are on his site - redone with new ones - really good too.

Like quirky, innovative singers - Yoko / Lena Lovittch / Bjork etc. Check out Schizowave. Lena is Russian and lives in USA - did a unusual version of Bowies China Doll with Ian McDonald of King Crimson fame guesting and a new version I Talk to the Wind from Crimson. Lena tells me they all went out for a meal and she was talking to the food - Ian began singing "I talk to the food - the food does not hear". That makes sense if you know the Crimson song. Her website depicts a very intersting and talented career. She's a pianist and writer and wears a red wig on stage! Some of her vids are also on U tube. http://www.myspace.com/schizowave

The Nerve, who I've done some recording with but its not up yet, have done a great version of Lou Reed's Waiting for my Man with Una Luna (Read Yoko Ono take off!) on lead vocals.

Better than the original in my opinion

Loads more including our own Izzy Isgate / Hooper / Tommy Marshalls Ambassadors / Steve Meller / Bo and many more famous and not famous - all good stuff. This is a brief selection - take a hike there!!
