MySpace Age

So what is the deal with MySpace? It seems like a pretty regular blogging/friends network type thing except I recently discovered that all these major label musicians are on it and that you can hear full length track on it. And then there's that friends list...I mean, am I to believe that Coldplay is really adding "friends" who are complete nobodys? Can I really believe they're on a worldwide tour but bothered to log in as recently as yesterday?

Anyway, here are some artists I tried recently that all seem to actually be the owner of, well, TheirSpace.
