Since 2003. Killed by Facebook and my own bad decisions. Back, no algorithm, no ads, no labels. Post what you need, email the human, start a band. The simple version. The one that worked.
the whole pitch · read it out loud
Musolist was here in 2003.
Musolist got eaten by Facebook.
Musolist’s founder made it worse.
Musolist is back. simpler this time.
Musolist has no algorithm.
Musolist does not sell your data.
Musolist will never run an ad.
Musolist does not know A&R from A&W.
Musolist does not care who your label is.
Musolist does not want your password.
Musolist does not want your phone number.
Musolist wants you to start a band.
That is the whole thing.
2003 → facebook → my fuckup → back
Started 2003. A janky little page where musicians posted “drummer wanted in Brooklyn” and “bassist, indie, austin.” It worked. People started bands. We grew into something good.
Then Facebook showed up and pulled everyone’s attention onto a feed. I lost the plot. Added features nobody asked for, ignored the things that mattered. The thing slowly stopped feeling like the thing it started as. I broke it. Eventually I let it die.
This is the rebuild. Same idea: classifieds for musicians, no algorithm, no ads, no labels. The simple version. The one that worked.
