No more MySpace

As of 01/24/2011, THISisMODERN.net will no longer be active on MySpace.com. Due to the underuse of the account, the lack of popularity of the site, and the massive amounts of Spam received in the inbox, THISisMODERN.net has cancelled its account with MySpace. Currently, THISisMODERN.net can still be followed on Twitter by visiting www.twitter.com/thisismodern or this blog can be followed directly by visiting the bottom of the sidebar to the right. Unfortunately, despite the massive popularity of the site and the hugely successful and incredibly rivetting film "The Social Network," there are currently no plans for THISisMODERN.net to join Facebook. Thanks for listening and stay tuned for the latest and greatest in new music.
