Front 242 opens office on Tsū – the social network which Facebook doesn’t want you to know about
Yesterday Side-Line joined up with the social network Tsū, today we noticed that also Front 242 has started a page on the social networking service. The band posted a news item about their recent remix contest which is suffering a delay due to the huge number of remixes that were entered; way too many remixes as it happens because it has taken the band much longer to go through all of the tracks. Front 242: “The #front242 remix project has simply overwhelmed us. SO MANY remixes! We apologise for the delay but we are working on it as fast as we can.”
Not surprisingly – or is it? – that message is not yet available on their Facebook page.
Front 242 joins the ranks of several other high profile acts that have opened shop on the network, which is a lot more artist friendly than Facebook where – don’t we all know – the reach of page updates has become a joke. Facebook is on purpose blocking every link towards the social network claiming it is a security risk, but what happens is that Facebook is simply censoring Tsū in a way which only North Korea is able to (ask Laibach, they are good friends with the regime).

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
