Anyone take note that Eisley has nearly 125,000 MySpace friends? It's interesting how this has grown into a new layer of Eisley's online presence. Two years ago we had the forum as the prominent showcase of Eisley fandom. Now the MySpace has dwarfed it. Granted, I think LCers are generally the hardcore, dedicated crowd. But I think it'd be amiss to say that there aren't additional hardcore fans on the MySpace (or even just lurking on the forum). It'd be really interesting to be able to connect the crowds.

Just thinking outloud. But yeah, that's a lof of MySpace friends.

But then, I reckon that for every one true listener on myspace, there are maybe five or more who only really like the ones on the myspace and arn't actually massive fans...

Or so says Joe from The Fallout Trust. And probably loads more.

But still, that's aloooot of people.

There's probably loads who read the blog there.

I'll vouch for that. I read LC for nearly 3 years before ever being compelled to actually make an account and post Laughing

Probably tons of bands get tons of friends. I'm not sure. We get about 200 friends requesting to be added each day, which means that if I fall off the myspace wagon for a week, I'm pushing the 10 at a time button for 1400 people. Plus... I get pages and pages of messages per day. Thankfully, I've only recieved 2 negative comments after 1000's and 1000's of messages. I can't keep up.

Problem is "spam". I have to go thru every comment and approve or dissaprove before posting. So much crap out there. But myspace is the primary tool for reaching the world right now. We have little outbreaks all over... but solid growth in the US, UK, Canada, Australia... and trailing to the rest of the world. Tons in Mexico and Malaysia.. Asia, lots breaking out in Europe. Wanna see breakdown in US? - hits in 1 month

Interesting that our home state is neck and neck w/ CA also interesting - East coast, but total North vs South.

Speaking of Eisley's myspace...are those 1 million photos in the "about me" section ever going to be slimmed down to like 100?

No one in Ireland? Or did you include them in U.K.? Technically they aren't part of the U.K. Only Northern Ireland.

If only all these people would actually buy Eisley's album. How many copies of 'Room Noises' has sold? 40,000?

It was over 64,000 in 02/2006, would have to be over 70,000 by now. Probably more.

Well, considering barely half the states are listed, I'm guessing RI is just lower on the list.
