Why do girls do myspace surveys?

Why do girls do surveys???

I have met some amazing chicks here in my time on myspace.

Intelligent women. Creative women. Beautiful women.

But they just can’t stay away from those dumb surveys where they tell everyone all these boring trivial minute details of their mundane lives!!!

Is it a deep genetic impulse known as the cleo/cosmo reflex?

Not a lot of research is available on the subject.

(ie by googling "why do girls do myspace surveys")

But it has been mooted that chicks are very much into "self discovery" and learning about "who they really are".

See I already know I’m smarter than most people I meet it’s just up to me to make more money and date more models to prove it - oh and of course to present this ultra rationalised shallow facade to the world and see who buys it.


but this bulletin isn’t about that.

It’s about another funny old thing I’ve noticed, I even do it myself.

Look at your comments. Especially your PCs.

Have you noticed how often people say the same thing as others without even thinking?

For example:

One person says "Hey Matt, cool pic, nice hair, blah blah . . . "

the chances that the next people to comment will start with the word "hey", will use the adjective "cool" or mention my "hair" is dramatically increased.

I dunno, maybe people don’t really think that much.

Or they tend to treat their brains as a sponge for soaking things up and squeezing them out, rather than a muscle and working it.

See if you notice what I’m talking about

RC Essentials: Scotty Rocker vs. Reality

Scotty vs Reality (kinda like a Mills & Boon)

As you may know, Scotty Rocker has accepted our request and added Reality Compound!!! So super mega uber happening or what?

But it hasn’t been without it’s dramas though, compound fans!!! Scotty has been quick to admonish us in the appropriate way to express our devotion for an idol of his stature, with respect and humility.

But it’s kinda like a Mills & Boon, where unbridled passions are often manifested early in the story, foreshadowing the turgid, lusty encounters to come.

NB: The producers would like to mention that Scotty has never made any indication whatsoever that he is a homosexual. Any reference to Scotty’s homosexuality is a mere projection of fantasy on the part of Reality Compound, and perhaps this guy Samwise, who suggested to us he might be.

Case in point:

Streetwise Scarlet (comment No. 261 / Nov 28, 2005)

I imagine Scotty has'nt added you because he is really struggling with his homosexuality at the moment and will most definately be trying to avoid all temptation.

Samwise.

TRANSCRIPTIONS AS FOLLOWS:

Sender: scottyrocker

Subject: dick

Body:

who are you? why you being a fuckhead? take my photo off your page and stop being an asshole. U want to make fun of me? come do it to my face. i like all sorts of music so me not adding you wouldnt be cos i didnt like your music. You calling me a homo? you sit on your computer and talk shit cos your a fuckin pussy.your the homo



Sender: Reality Compound


Hey Scott, bro.

I can see how you might have the wrong impression about our thoughts and actions towards you, and I’m sorry if we’ve upset you in any way. It was not our intention.

We are not Fuckheads. We are a bunch of guys who live in Grey Lynn and make hipster music.

I don’t think it is fair for you to ask us to remove your picture from our page. We have not doctored it or changed it in any way from how it appears on your page, and to be honest, would it be fair for Motley Crue to ask you to remove the picture of them from your page? Wouldn’t that come across a little mean-spirited? If you insist, we will consider it, but I don’t think we’re doing anything wrong.

We can’t stop being Assholes, Scotty, we are K rd Hipsters and it’s kinda what we’ve been doing for almost 12 years now. If you feel there is something on our page of a subjective nature that offends you personally, again we are willing to consider it seriously.

We are not making fun of you, that’s unfair. We’re all about supporting the local scene and real people who are a part of it, especially over an American equivalent. Our fan base is constituted mainly of teenage girls situated in New Zealand. We thought you would feel comfortable being projected as a sex symbol, especially as you represent a lot of ideals we respect such as a proud commitment to monogamy and your spiritual beliefs. We thought you would embrace this opportunity to raise your own profile, as well as that of the bands you play with.

And yes we will be coming to your face. Don’t worry about that. We are not ashamed or cowardly. Just let us warn you only this once that any inference to threats of a physical nature are pointless as we are not afraid of physical retribution, and our contempt for it will only incite us and worsen the situation for you.

It’s got nothing to do with our music. Our music is shit, everyone knows that. But we are scene aristocracy. Though our favours are spread thinly when it comes to Hardcore, might I remind you of our presence in the heady days of Balance and Pace Car, we are historians of ways local that are hip, and our archives sag heavy on the shelf. As for Emo . . . well the less said the better. Let there just be an unspoken knowledge between us, that our support will always lie with a New Zealander over an American equivalent. We have no axe to grind.

We never suggested you were a homosexual. This is the message we received:

Streetwise Scarlet (comment No. 261 / Nov 28, 2005)

I imagine Scotty has'nt added you because he is really struggling with his homosexuality at the moment and will most definately be trying to avoid all temptation.

Samwise.


We do not talk shit. Some of our bulletins may be irreverent or perhaps absurd, but are always well received wether on the subject of music, culture, the local scene, science, trivia, sex advice or what have you. We are not a fuckin pussy. A pussy is what Haezell found in her backyard. She called it “Albi” because it is a white one.

And YES, Scotty, if it wasn’t obvious, some of us here are HOMOSEXUALS. We’re sorry if that offends you, but just think that generally we would find homophobia of any form quite abhorrent, and while we cannot claim that we respect your views on homosexuality, we understand and tolerate this as part of your spiritual beliefs. Just remember that homosexuals are people to, and don’t deserve to be victimised for their sexual preferences.

I hope this clears up our position, we honestly felt that the ironic take on yourself you project as this band scene pin up boy was really well done, and a deft touch of profiling. we look forward to meeting with you and seeing your bands play in the new year.

I hope you will be willing to contribute songs, pictures, video or any written copy/statement for our local scene Reality Compound DVD coming in late Jan/Early Feb.

All the best,

Evil Robot

Reality Compound
Style Over Substance
The Further

Philosophy of Scotty Rocker as interpreted by RC

IMPORTANT!!! REMEMBER to watch and learn from Scotty!!! -

"I’m a poser? No shit."

- People don’t look in photos how they look in real life. Make sure you look better in your photos than you do in real life, not worse!

"I used to like eating lots of pies but i ended up getting fat so i went on a diet and became super cut and super good looking."

- Be cut and good looking. Don’t be fat and gross.

"i have an SUPER amazing girlfriend in the whole wide world!!"

- Have a hot gf/bf. Make sure they are not ugly or fat.

"Your[sic] not even worthy of an infomercial. You also try too hard to attract attention to yourself so your[sic] the LAST thing television needs."

- People who try to attract attention to themselves will NEVER make it to Celebrity Treasure Island.

"i promise you next time i see you its not going to be good. You have fucked me of[sic] to[sic] many times. take my picture off your site."

- Don’t put Scotty’s picture on your page. He will tell Tom on you, and get his friend George to beat you up.


SUPERSIZE MY REALITY: THE STORY OF THE COMPOUND

ALRIGHT!!! When avant garde performance artists and Electrotrash iconoclasts Style Over Substance finally got their very own profile on Myspace, having to bunk up with Shoegazing The Further left them less than impressed:

"We sing about a future where we all have micro chips in our brains. These soppy radges are still bleating on about some bird who upped sticks on them three years ago."

That’s when the boys discovered the myspace of Reality TV star, Drummer and celebrity SCOTTY ROCKER who said "I’m a poser? No shit." And from then were inspired to embrace the fakecore emo scene, dressing like personality deficient, brain dead 15 year old scenewhores who’d do anything . . . JUST TO MAKE FRIENDS.

All RC acts are managed and overseen by scurrilous DJ/Producer/writer Romantech who says "Who gives a fuck if it’s a joke? I need to be getting my boys some gigs. My people ain’t eatin’. Y’all gotta break me off a lil’ summin’ summin’."

KEEPING IT FAKEXCORE
Life may have made you bitter, ugly, stupid, humourless, poor etc. but thats no excuse not to make an effort to get people to like you. Don’t worry, no one wants to know the real you. Just pretend there isn’t one, you’ll be fine. Always act like you know. Don’t pretend you know, just act like it. When in doubt just say, "I know". Trust me on this.

What if someone asks you a question? Again, just say "I know" as if the answer to that question is so obvious, it has no meaning. For example:

Matt’s Mum: "When are you going to tidy your room?"

Matt: "I know, mum."

Classic myspace bulletin 39: About what you said

About what you said . . .

I know what you're doing.

So stop it.

I've seen what's been going on. And I mean it. I'm not saying this to anybody else, and I know what you're thinking, but you can say what you like. It's not gonna wash with me. It's not happening. Not on MY space, bucko. So you can just take your medicine and calm the fuck down.

You think I wanted all this?

You think I wanted it like this?

I wanted to be happy, but YOU wanted it like this! Last time we spoke, what did we say? That's right. But look now, here we are again.

You, and me.

Same old FUCKING story. Read the movie, saw the book, it's all the fucking same isn't it? you don't think about me?

You don't even know who I am!

I'm just this huge nothing to you!

YOU DON'T FUCKING THINK ABOUT ME!!!!

Sometimes I swear you wish I was dead. That's how you feel isn't it? The way you look at me, I swear . . .

Well I'm not FUCKING dead.

And you're not getting rid of me that easy. You can fuck yourself, because you just don't do that to people.

What are you trying to achieve? You think you can just change everything now? After . . . everything?

Look, it's finished, forget about it, just give it up. Do us both a favour. You can't win this one. Don't even bother.

It's over.

Classic myspace bulletin 36: Crazy flight of the fool hen

Rick the Grouse

http://www.myspace.com/rickthegrouse

Everybody add Rick the Grouse! He’s been grousing it now for a few years, and he’ll tell you himself, being a Grouse ain’t all it’s cracked up to be! He loves foraging in his woodland territory and eating buds and shoots. He's keen to hook up with any fertile hens keen to nest in his territory. So add Rick the Grouse and don’t forget to check out his page on grousespace.com:

Classic myspace bulletin 33: Myspace Whores eliminated

Killer Myspace whore eliminated!

So this afternoon when we checked our pending friend request we found and interesting young man named "Killer Instinct" from the USA had requested to be our friend.

We of course, will be friends with anyone who likes Ice Cream and likes to play - as long as they know tidy up time always comes after playtime.

So once we assessed he wasn't a perpetuator of hate politics, he accepted his invitation willing. More on Nazis later.

Next thing you know, we check our bulletins to get all the most exciting news from our friends and what do we see?

Screens upon screens of "Add him" "Add her" "Whore Me" "I'll whore you if you whore me." . . . "Add him and I'll whore you to 25k"

Goodness gracious we thought!

And guess what!

WE DELETED HIM!

WE DID!

WE DELETED HIM FROM OUR FRIENDS LIST.

We didn't like it. It wasn't fun.

Everybody wants to have lots of friends, but what are you going to say to them once you've said hullo? The RC boys like to tell cool stories and make fun music that you can laugh at, all of which we want to share with ALL of our friends (except the Nazi ones - but they're not really our friends).

We are also of course promoting many topical issues such as wild moose safety and awareness, and of course are driving the initiative to produce and supply tiny little-baby bird-sized hankies - more on this initiative also - later.

But . . .

"Mr. Killer Whore me" didn't seem to have anything to offer the world, except for thousands more people who also didn't have anything to offer.

How sad.

Perhaps they would have enjoyed this story.

8 whorers brutally executed
tried and judged by a panel of Compound experts the 8 following so-called "friends" of the Compound were deemed to have commited deviant and abusive acts of whoring upon the myspace bulletin board.

A Compound analyst was then required to prepare reports on their suitability to be executed from our friends list by reason of being incompatible with fundamental COmpound standards of decency on the bulletin board.

The names were as following

Jennax™
victorylap
That blank space
b€ð†•J€Rk¥ ™
The ThongWriter™
Mutant Mushroom
W}{0R3.8OT
Jesus Chop


As none had any predetermining circumstances of hipness that would deem them unsuitable, the 8 were executed from the friends list by way of blocking of their profile.

despite campaigners protesting outside the compound for the execution to be stayed, the 8 were pronounced deleted at dawn this morning.

They are with Tom, now. May he rest and keep their accounts.

Classic myspace bulletin 30: Important myspace sex talk for young ladies

Important Sex talk for young ladies.


I need myspace. Because its the internet, its the land of the free, and all of that.

Its also summer here in our part of the world (and Friday night) and exams are all done so theres gonna be a lot of people with a lot of time on their hands thinking gosh, a good hard shag would hit the spot right about now!

And what better place than myspace to peruse all the spunky young things, and spark up a little flirty banter! Given our multitudes of sexy young female fans matched with our rich tapestry of wit, knowledge, experience and wisdom, it has come quite prominently to our attention the surprising friskiness of many young ladies.

Just because we are funny and smart and know what to say to women, it doesnt guarantee that we are not old, ugly, naughty, and basically wanting to nip out on our Missus for a bit of a poke with some sexy young bit of fluff that we can just discard like a bad hand of poker. And you dont want to be the one keying up his car in the middle of the night, do you? You want to snuggling up to a nice boy who can sit through a whole fucking Olivia Newton John musical without needing to fondle your tits.

Girlsies must remember that boysies love nothing more than getting to have sex with a real live girl. So if youre wondering does he want to have sex with me? unless they have another girl in their life or on their mind, 99% its gonna be a yes. No matter what or who theyve done, boys will always wonder exactly what you yourself have in your pants, like it is a glorious mystery. The trick is to get them caring about whats in your head before you show them what you have in your pants.

Indeed, the tricky part is that if youre letting a boy realise his masculinity perfectly and completely by finding a heaven better than any drug between your legs, he should at least be making the effort to do something nice for you EVERYDAY, no matter how small.

Because if he doesnt do this, hes probably just waiting for someone thinner and with bigger tits to come along. If youre okay with that than youre okay with that as long as youre sure youre okay with that. Most boys will be super okay with that, but you should still make it perfectly clear from the outset that you also have physical needs as a woman, and this DOES NOT make you a slut, or his girlfriend. Otherwise youll be the one getting your car keyed up.

Having physical needs as a 21st century woman means that if you need more than your man can deliver, he should be willing to get down there like a Doberman in the trenches and finish the job. Otherwise tell him to go back to the 80s and look for a girlfriend.



THE AGE CALCULATOR:

Men like sexy young girls. Sexy young girls like an older man who knows what hes doing. Thats the way it is. Team RC has developed this special age calculator to be loosely applied.

(Girls age 10) > (Boys age 10) divided by 2.

Alex is 16. Knowledgeable Individual is 25.

( - 10 on both sides) :

Alex is 6 and Knollie is 15

(divide the boys age in half):

Alex is 6 and Knollie is 7.5

Even though Knollie is allowed to round down to 7, he still has a higher score than alex, and shouldnt really be meeting her in the park with a hip flask of gin.

But you might love this person, in which case the RC age compatibility calculator goes out the window. So how is a girl to know her significantly older man really feels for her, and doesnt just think youre his bit of fluff? Well, have you met his best buddies? Any of his family? Does he do PDAs* ? Hmmmmm . . .

Chances are he loves your hot young teenage body but the moment he meets a girl who he can go to bars with and show off to his mates . . . oh-oh . . .

Tips for hooking up on myspace

Phase 1: Internet mackin

Remember why do you need to tell everyone on myspace your second name or which school you go to? You dont. Naughty clever boys use that information to find you and rock up like a stranger who just happens to like all the bands you do.

Just because a boy says damn your[sp] hot, hit me back doesnt mean he is not romantic. Just because he doesnt it doesnt mean he's only typing with his left hand as he talks to you.

Every girl should know that you gotta make your boy work for it.

- A boy who will keep up banter for over a week may not just be looking for a quick one wherever he can get it. A boy who chats for over a month MIGHT just be a keeper.

- Does he continually wind your dial with sexy talk? Does he talk about your tits or any other part of your body like it was your possession, as if you werent attached to it? Bad sign.

- Does he ask too many where questions? Tell him he only gets two, if any.

- Does he talk to you about your favourite music, your job, your family, your pets, your favourite things? Thats more like it.



But as its summer, and youre a young woman with needs, and youre not getting any younger, lets look at how you can be safe. I dont need to talk about birth control because if you dont know all about that than you should just stop reading here and forget it.

Remember 99.99% of boys have no desire to lock you in there basement. The question is wether the outcome for you is to lock yourself in their mind so youve at least got a chance when that thinner one with the bigger tits comes along, because she always does!


Phase 2: The Hook Up.

If you are going to meet a boy he MUST have at this point supplied you with a clear photo that he claims is himself. If you meet him and thats not him no need to jump from a moving vehicle, but youll know its time to hit the brakes and change gears. A boy may only be lying because he is insecure. But boys who lie will still have to undergo a stand down period.

You should never elaborate too much about your plans. If youre going out to meet a boy just to fuck him senseless, he doesnt need to know that. Young men can become very excitable and loose blood flow to the brain, thus behaving erratically. But certainly dont assume he will bring protection.

Remember this the 21st century, girls, you are in control of your bodies and your destiny. No one ever got pregnant by putting it in their mouth. If your boy really wants to be happy,and you really want to make your boy happy, then this will probably make him very happy. But never do anything you don't want to do.

Don't get pissed. Don't take any drugs, not the first time! Don't take anything he gives you. this is very important. I wouldn't even ride in his car the very first time you see him. Why not just tell him you'd like to have a nice talk/kiss/blow job/sex somewhere safe and convenient and that just that would be nice? I'm sure he would think that was very nice.

First hook up should always be made at a public place. You should know that. If youre too young or not really into dating, why not tag along with his friends, boys are much naughtier when they know their mates arent around to give them shit about what a Telly motherfucker* or "rapist" they are.

If youre positive that you will not be having sex with this guy the first time you meet him, why not take a friend? A second opinion is always good, if he really likes you, he wont mind, and if he starts making eyes at your friend, youll know hes no good, and if your friend runs off with him, youll find out theyre both no good!

A good trick to be safe that we like is to make a boy give you his phone number by reference to its listing in the telephone directory, which includes his address, so that you might perhaps a day or two later ring the number to check he is telling the truth, before you meet him. Then when you do go to meet him, you can pass those details on to your mother, or sister, or best friend, and tell them you are going for a pleasant meeting with a boy and these are his details. If you are SECRETLY planning to go back to his place for wild sex, tell your mother/sister/friend to expect a call by a certain time.

No man will think of you as a slut, if you pander to his ego by elaborating on the theme that only he is sexually irresistible to you. He will think he is special to you, thus making him feel like a man and you will become special to him.

I THINK WERE GOING TO HAVE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT GETTING THOSE CLAWS IN AND HOLDING ON TO YOUR MAN AT ANOTHER POINT.

BUT WHEN WE FIND THOSE If you dont got the rubba, therell be no hubba hubba FUCKTARDS THERES GONNA BE RETRIBUTION IN THE VEIN OF SOME CARS GETTING SERIOUSLY KEYED UP FOR THEIR MORONICALLY ILL-CONCEIVED AWARENESS CAMPAIGN. ANYONE WHO CAN HELP US OUT WITH INFORMATION ON WHERE WE CAN FIND THESE PEOPLE, SHOULD GET IN TOUCH.



*Kids (1995) by Larry Clarke. A very, very important movie for everyone to watch. Especially if you think thirteen dealt with issues. Like, whatever. Fuck off.

Classic myspace bulletin 24: Outcomes for myspace (2005)

READING ON OUTCOMES FOR MYSPACE
What will eventually happen to MySpace? The same thing that happens to all breakthrough ideas that become absorbed by corporate culture. Did you see the announcements about the new MySpace Records and its first CD, a compilation they call rock? Now let's be fair, the selection is no worse than any other pile of soul-less over produced corporate crap. In fact, it's a shade better, a little spunkier.

Is this sour grapes? I hate corporate compilations. All they are is mix tapes without the integrity. But I do wish the comp was more like MySpace.

What's great about MySpace is that it's a world in miniature at your fingertips. One minute you run into hip hop, the next black metal, and then something so underground you can't figure out how to categorize it. But what did MySpace Records do? The same thing any corporation with a corporate IQ would do, they wanted to maximize potential sales by marketing to a niche and they didn't want to turn that niche off by including content they might not like. Just like corporate radio. Yawn. What a bore.

Look at the way they marketed it. You get to put extra pictures up if you buy it! Oh boy! Hey I got an idea, MySpace, before exploiting your membership and the artists you probably won't pay a cent to for being on the compilation why don't you spend those time and money resources on making the site function smoothly? It's lots of fun refreshing the browser a hundred times a day so you can hear a song or add a friend.

What happens next? Probably the same thing that happened to MP3.com. As MySpace rolls out its record company, it's movie production group, it's television development partnerships, what was once a thriving community of individuals will turn into a marketing machine for the big corporations.

Did you know that people get paid to research YOUR profile? Corporations would normally have to pay huge amounts of money and risk accusations of privacy invasion to get the info about the likes and dislikes of age groups and regions that hangs like ripe fruit on the trees of our profiles. But all they are doing is looking in a mirror; unless they seek what chaos theorists call noise, the smaller movements on the outskirts that wind up turning over the whole system. Mammals in the world of the dinosaurs.

My guess is as margins are squeezed and budgets are drained what will happen is what always happens, the site will become too obviously devoted to the promotion of corporate product and somebody else will come along with a wrinkle on the same idea and first the few will be there looking down their noses at the rest of us still on MySpace, then the mass stampede will occur. Seen the Simpsons and Family Guy on MySpace recently? Murdoch owns Fox and now MySpace. Expect lots of cross promotions.

I say this all the time. There is no way around the crapiness of corporate culture. Everything that is great about art and music is the opposite of corporate culture. Corporations are parasites that have grown so huge they have all but killed their hosts.

When you hear little bits of great rock songs that once heralded revolution matched to images of SUVs and balding men smiling confidently it's like glimpsing inside a huge parasite and seeing decayed bits of what it destroyed floating around in its guts.

Our culture is dying for two things right now. First, we need artists, writers and musicians who are absolutely against the grain and don't give a shit. We're out here. There's more of us than you think and the future of what you love about art and music is with us. But we need you.

We need a new audience. An audience that is eager for the real shit. An audience that will passionately support and communicate the real shit. You ever see people's lists of favorite bands and think holy fuck these bands are all dead. It really touches me when I see it in riot grrrl groups. List your favorite bands. Almost every name is a band that is no more, that stopped existing ten years ago. The OG riot grrrls would have had none of that. They wanted their own bands, bands right now.

Make your own bands. Be a prospector and hunt for gold in the wasteland out here. Don't just passively lay back and accept the corporate dildo. Real art and music can change lives.

Classic Myspace Bulletins 12: Deadspace.com

www.deadspace.com

Again, another bulletin for all our friends who are dead, or connected to the other side. I know you hate all these annoying "add this/that person" bulletins but we actually only know three dead people who haven't passed over to the light.

IAN CURTIS

www.deadspace.com/imiancurtis

Ian Curtis is a singer and sometimes helps out with our tunes but we always credit "MC I'm Ian Curtis" because our connection with him isn't particularly strong and you can never be 100% sure if it's really his spirit, or some fat old loser spirit pretending he's like this hipster icon spirit. Fake accounts - what're you gonna do?

For those who don't know Ian, he was the singer of New Order back when they were Joy Division, and their name was taken from that of the "Aryan" women hand picked by Hitlers breeding program to be repeatedly impregnated by the finest "Aryan" stock from the SS, hitlers elite guard. (Girls. remember that word we've been learning? Irony?)

You might know their song "Love will tear us apart". They weren't extremely good but they were extremely influential and are thus extremely hip.

RICK THE GROUSE

www.deadspace.com/rickthegrouse

Rick was a funny bird (a "grouse") who worked with us in the compound and died last week from Bird Flu. We actually haven't heard from him since he died, but, hey, you know what a fiend he was on Myspace!

Of course this probably had more to with the fact that the actor who played Rick in Reality Compound was caught having an affair with one of the young starlets who was said to be linked romantically to one of the shows main stars.

MATE DEJANAVICH

www.deadspace.com/matedejanavich

Mate (pronounced like matty, it's slavic) Dejanavich is a friend of ours here at the compound, and he rooms with Evil Robot, where he is believed to have hung himself in 1925. His only direct contact has been with Mother Robot and Grandmother Robot, at which point he indicated his identity and made a request for help.
Other than playing with the light fittings now and again, Mate has been fairly docile of recent years, most notably as his favourite prowling spot on the porch outside his room is now being used more predominantly as a thoroughfare and there is a strong suspision he has actually gapsed it off to the light, the cheeky old sod, the dirty dog diddler, but nah, good on'm if he has.

Classic Myspace Bulletins 11: Bored on myspace

Bored?

We haven't been bored since '93.

True story.

Why? And how? We are hipsters. We embody the quest for art and knowledge everyday here at the Compound. It drives us like an engine, combusting raw fuels of inspiration into hard fast monuments of our existance, compounded again and again into new totems of hyper-reality, till they are but dust, and our spirit soars beyond the realms of living memory.

And when unrest bothers the mind, none other than the knives and razors of wit and conjecture are produced, cutting from the bloated hulk, debating the very clarity of hipster certainty, for it is nothing but tomorrow.

Now You wouldn't be the types of girls who sit around preening and primping because your boyfriends in a band and you are happy to draw your hipness by association?

For shame!


We are:

Critics
Musicians
Writers
Performers
Actors
Theorists
Philosophers
Media Terrorists
Film Makers
Photographers
Artists
Partakers of substances
Coffee Drinkers

and in sum all hipsters and intellectuals, every one. Fine arts float amongst the very plasma that pumps our blood. Do you want to die unknown, unwitnessed? Was your life surmountable to that of the lemming whose only joy and drive was to follow others and abruptly curtail it's own existance?

Boredom has no name here.

We are the people of the compound!

Classic Myspace Bulletins 4: Hey

Hullo there, friend to the Reality Compound!

Howsit going? We hope you are well.

Our agenda is about bringing more information, humour and understanding to Myspace, and through seeking to build up a relationship of trust with our friends, it is important that we do not indulge in anything that would compromise that trust in our mission to destroy fakeness. It is not our intention to promote our music. Our music is shit, it’s supposed to be.

We here at the compound were just writing to you to dicuss in earnest ways in which we might acquire more friend requests specifically because we DO NOT WHORE.

But we understand it is only through hard work and commitment to what you are doing have you built up your friends list. We are not asking you to simply Whore us because we have asked. We are looking for ways in which we can reciprocate a possible whoring of our profile, appreciating that it is a huge favour, especially as we cannot reciprocate in kind. We can offer anything from a copy of our forthcoming CD-rom, a feature on Reality Compound CD-Rom or show, to the myspace equivalent of doing your dishes for a week. If there’s something we can do, just ask.

Thanks, TEAM RC
