I was asked to complete this statement last week and spent all of 5 mins composing the following response http://bit.ly/653u2L (I realise for some bands this isn't right and a lack of self-awareness or consistency is part of 'the magic' and marketability isn't such an issue)

Would be curious what advice folks here would give to other acts, things you've found successful, services you like using or more generally, as fans of new music/people-wot-'do-shit'-in-and-around-smaller-bands, things you like that bands have done which got your attention?
