MySpace is good, but you still need a record deal

The Chicago Tribune's RedEye reports this week on why MySpace is replacing traditional record label deals in the minds of new artists. They point out, however, that selling your music on your own through MySpace leaves you as the artists with all the work - no publicist, no marketer, no connections. The long and short of it is that MySpace is a great way to get a buzz going so you can take it to the next level and get that record label to sign you.
