Sage Francis had some fun with a company that offers to boost your mysp*ce plays. He posted the convo on his forum recently. Love the enthusiasm. Link (via)
Musicians on Myspace seemingly have the need to appear more popular by having extra “plays” on their page’s audio-player. Heh. It’s true. Services are sold. Entrepreneurial Myspace hack-companies look for d-bag artists who need to seem more popular than they actually are. Shallow as it is….dats da troot. However, some artists are part of collectives or labels who are more resourceful (meaning they develop programs of their own that generate more “plays.”) As shallow and lame as this may seem, it happens. I remember checking another musician’s site and thinking, “How is it possible for them to have that many plays when they have such little activity on their page?” Heh. It is what it is. If there are any recording artists on this forum who are in need of looking really cool and important, please pursue the leads I have purposely included in the discussion below.

Date: Jan 1, 2008 2:58 PMDo you guys need help accumulating plays and views mainly…. anyways, if you would, let us know. we’re cheap compared to the rest of the guys who rip people off.
Alright, upfront, the more you buy, the cheaper it gets.
$25 for a thousand plays/views for one day only
$75 for a thousand plays/views per day for a week
$100 for 2000 plays/views everyday for a week
$150 for 5000 plays/views everyday for a week
$200 for 10,000 plays/views everyday for a weekLet me know if you’re interested.
get back to us, also we can work out different prices for how many plays you want per day and same with views. like if you wanted 10 thousand of each per day, etc. just let us know and we’ll work it out with you
Basically if you tell us how many you want per day, etc, we can do that, within reason, or atleast, work up to that point, and we can work with you guys.
We’d love to help out and work with you guys.
Give us an add while you’re at it too

Date: 03/01/2008OK. I’m willing to do this. But do you think if I paid someone I know to check my site multiple times a day I might be able to get close to that many listens? I only ask because I know so many people who could do so much with money like that. I don’t want to just throw this budget around like crazy.
Ready to move.

Date: Jan 4, 2008 8:38 AMYou can pick a smaller promotion package to start with if you doubt our work. No one can sit there and give you plays all day because their IP Adress is detected and myspace doesnt allow that.
15,000 plays a day. 430,000 plays for the month!!!
for $1200 is a good price. All the signed artists that contact us use this plan. Its on you. Let me know when you’re ready.

Date: 04/01/2008well it’s kind of important that it looks like more people listen to my music than actually do. You know that that kind of stuff actually matters especially here on myspace. So tell me what I have to do because it feels like I’ve got something burning in my pocket.

Date: 04/01/2008ok let’s get this rolling. I’m waiting for those free listens just to see if this actually works before I shell over so much money. If you know what I’m saying. But I’m pumped about this. About time someone offers this service.
