The Internet BandThe Internet Band

theinternetband.jpg The best thing I've ever discovered via Google's adsense is http://theinternetband.net/. This guy is interested in creating a super group, and really, really believes he has the knowledge to take them to the top.

And now, the most quotes I've ever included in a post:

The World's Next Great Rock Band Is Now Forming. You Will Absolutely Be The #1 Band After Your First Cd Release. I Guarantee It.
I'd Like To Make 2 Things Clear. This Is A Rock Band. There'll Be No Dancing. Never. Also, You Guys Are The Band And I Will Be Owner Of The Band.
There Are No Outside Investors Needed Or Wanted For This Band Project. The Internet Is So Inexpensive And It Goes All Around The World. With Billions Of People And Word Of Mouth. Thats All You Really Need. You Make The Music, You Own The Music. You Sell It Directly To The People. Bypass Everything Else. Yes, That Is All You Really Need. It Seems, Nobody Has Taken Advantage Of This Fact. Until Now. Music Does Make The World Go Round. Oh Yeah. Oh Yeah.
I Want This Group To Do Everything Right That Every Other Group Has Done Wrong The Last 50 Years. This Group Can Record And Release 35-40 Good Songs The First Year, Every Year. It Could Be A 35-40 Song Download That Sells For $20-25.00 No-Cds, No-Cds, No-Cds. I Hope You Fiqure Out What That Means.
Guys, My Advice To All Of You Is To Get Famous First. Even If It Means Being In A Group To Do That. Think Dave Grohl. Think Sting. How About Michael Jackson. Then You Can Get Big-Headed And Go Solo... But Would You Really Want To Leave The Biggest Band In The World? It Will Be Your Decision.
You Put 40 Good Songs Up On The Internet And The World Comes To You. Really No Tv, No Radio, No Touring Needed In The Beginning. You Deal Directly With The Music Fans Of The World. We Will Have The Band Website Available In 20 Different Languages.
If You Google Me, Its Very Very Important Because You Won't Find Anything Good And Especially Nothing Bad. I Am Told Zero Information. Cool, I Haven't Gotten Lucky Yet. Maybe After The Band Goes To #1, Then I Will Get On Google.
Good Songs And Good Albums Sell Good. Bad Songs And Bad Albums Sell Bad. I Am The Only Person In The History Of Music That Realizes This Rule. This Group Will Never Record Or Release Bad Product.

Then it starts smelling of a scam when the promise of joining the band for free and working together and sharing profits turns to:

So From Today Feb 11th Till Sept 1st, 2007 The Cost To Get Into The Group Is One Thousand Dollars Within 60 Days And Four Thousand More Paid By September 1st, 2007. Then Three Hundred Dollars Per Month For Living Expenses. Why Pay Berklee 39 Thousand Dollars!
The First 3 Years Is Really Just The Band Doing My Original Songs And All The Remakes I Always Wanted To Do. You Will Be Inspired By Me And My Songs. You Combine/Mix It With Your Own Styles And It Should Turn Out Great. Then The Next 20,30 Or 40 Years. Its All You Guys.

Nowadays, modern furniture can be adjusted inline with the needs and requirements of your daily living. You can google in search of some really cheap furniture stores. Not just the home furniture, office furniture can also be adjusted according to one’s temperament

If Only The Guy Would Use Proper Capitalization. His Entire Site Looks Like This, Making Me Conclude Two Things: 1) Not Worth Reading, And 2) Probably a Kook.

This is great. First he says "You Will Absolutely Be The #1 Band After Your First Cd Release" and then he says "No-Cds, No-Cds. I Hope You Fiqure Out What That Means".

Sounds like a good lyric. Hmm...maybe he is better than everybody else.

I'm a singer in a REAL internet band for a year now, we recorded 25 songs, and it's really fun. Dunno what this guy talks about. Perv? Maybe. Scam? Maybe. But if I was such sceptic, I would never be in an internet band. So, check our music:
