What the...?

I have a MySpace account which I hardly ever use, but when I was looking for Fleet Foxes, a band I've recently come across and whose music I really like, I found them on MySpace. Please check them out here: Fleet Foxes.





I think they're great! I asked them to be friends and they agreed; how cool is that?

Anyhoo, while on MySpace I decided to check my mail. Here is what I found (you can tell from the date how little I go there!):

I have no idea what they are referring to, unless it's the Massive Attack video, which it must be as that's the only video on my profile (and, incidentally, still seems to be playable!). I'm pretty tee'd off about this. MySpace provided the very link that enabled me to put the video on my profile, so how the heck have I "violated MySpace's Terms and Conditions"? Do I care about my upload privileges being suspended, or have any intention of completing their "Copyright Education Program"? Go figure MySpace! Like I'm a huge copyright infringer. Terminate my account if you like. The only reason I keep it open is coz I have some good friends on there (whom I have woefully neglected lately!) Moreover, I have the DVD from which MySpace (or a member of it) took that video and I love it! If I like something, I buy it! I will be buying Fleet Foxes' album as soon as I can get my a$$ down to the record store (where we heard the music, years before... etc.)

Fleet Foxes

Fleet Foxes
Song: Mykonos

The door slam loud and rows up a cloud of dust on us
Footsteps follow, down through the hollow sound, torn up

And you would go to Mykonos
With a vision of the channel cause
And a son to maybe dissipate
Shadows of the mess you made

How did any holes in the snow tipped pines, I find
Hatching from the seed of your thin mind, all night?

And you would go to Mykonos
With a vision of the channel cause
And a son to maybe dissipate
Shadows of the mess you made

Brother you don't need to turn me away
I was waiting down at the ancient gates

You go
Wherever you go today
You go today

I remember how it took you down
As the winter turned the meadow around

You go
Wherever you go today
You go today

When I walking brother don't you forget
It ain't often you'll ever find a friend

You go
Wherever you go today
You go today
[x8]

Don't really understand it, but I love it!

There doesn't seem to be a video, so here is another foxy pic:
