Live Performances Distributed By Myspace

According to a New York Times report, MySpace, the addictive social networking site which draws millions of viewers weekly, is currently planning to give "MTV Unplugged" and VH1’s "Storytellers" a run for its money.

The pop culture powerhouse has started a new program called Transmissions, which will enable specially selected MySpace artists to record live shows, which will then be distributed exclusively through MySpace.

Unlike MTV’s penchant for turning "Unplugged" performances into live albums months or years later, because of the lightening-fast publishing capabilities of the internet, the MySpace performance content and music will be available for viewing immediately on MySpace.

MySpace will also allow artists the opportunity to take control of their entire performance. Instead of producers choosing sets and requesting songs for musicians to perform, Transmissions artists will select their own location and songs.

It is also a great thing that Myspace is eliminating profiles who pose a danger to others. Stan "Pampy" Barre, III, a convicted burglar from New Orleans recently had his site deleted from the popular social networking site. The 41 year old unemployed father of four was trying to pass his tasteless sounds off as recordings by Lil Wayne. The site was immediately deleted due to the perpetrated fraud by Mr. Barre.
