KC - total agreement. Facebook isn't shy about what it's purpose is: connecting people, and businesses for a cost, and since day one it's been about the moola.  That's why they've developed their algorithms to dictate only a certain percentage of posts are seen by a certain percentage of fans, unless you subscribe or request everything shows up in your news feed from said party.  I've made sure everything from GPN, TIS, and an author (Jim Butcher everyone, and I hate to make the plug, as his Harry Dresden series are the best books I've ever read) shows up in my newsfeed.  Every other like on my profile, I'll dig for it if I feel the compulsion.  I make sure GPN shows up, just for the reason you've pointed out: the gold nuggets.  Sure, there's the "buy this ticket" or "buy this merch" post, and I can live with that for random awesomesauce.  I've even considered joining twitter just to follow Grace's tweets, as that seems to be the 2nd best source for the raw experience of the band (and I don't have to tell you what I think is the PREMIUM source).  FB is a tool, and at the end of the day it's a tool that helps the band 1)increase exposure 2)generate revenue and 3)stay connected to their fans for what they feel is relevant material.  If you want an inside perspective, follow @gracepotter, and I just check the website for that mainly.  The commercialism of their FB page is the same with their fan newsletter; sure, we'd all like to see links to downloads or great youtube videos, but if you're interested in that you'll have to follow fan sites like this, or get crazy and set up Google alerts.  The problem with linking to sites like these poses a threat to the bottom line: TIS is fantastic for the sense of community among the hardcore fans that've been with them since the start, and yes it always has better content than twitter/fb/gracepottter.com combined, and that's EXACTLY why it'll never get plugged, just from a capitalistic perspective.  Why follow the above when KC cackles and claps away in his mancave as he finds these awesome gold nuggets, and knows how pleased the community will be (and my apologies, KC, if my visual of your excellency betrays reality; I just dig the level of fan geekdom you bring to the table and I show folks this website before I do GPN's main url.).  It seems 9 out of 10 GPN email newsletters is "Save 20% if you purchase an extra-small tee shirt when Mercury is in retrograde" but that's to be expected from the brand, as that's what the band has morphed into over the years, and unapologetically so.  All of this marketing, this branding, is almost an unavoidable effect of entering mainstream space, and it doesn't mean it's a terrible thing: c'mon, let's hope they don't go down the road Phish went and released every other live show from their catalog; they keep it real, and they keep it on the archive, when they can.  Maybe the FB folks behind the curtain will hear your plea, and then again, maybe John Boehner will start to sound like somebody who should've been elected to public office. However it pans out, I'm crazy appreciative of the buckets and buckets of awesomesauce GPN has doused my life with, and I'll never get it across how much I love your blog, and how often I share it with people when I share Grace and the guys with them.  At the Lebanon Opera House benefit show in May 2010, I met Grace as she was churning away on the assembly line of smiles, pictures, autographs.  I told her GPN was writing the soundtrack to my life, she replied with a modest "We try", and "Soundtrack to your life, Grace Potter" was how she signed the poster I brought along (which, funny enough, was a leftover from the street team stack of posters I got for helping spread the word).  That's relevant to this conversation as well, the lack of street team for the band; they don't need it....again a natural effect of entering mainstream space, I guess.  I also saw your FB post earlier about having, like, .3 percent of the total number of likes as their main FB page.  That, my friend, just may be a good thing...and having said that, it's time to head over to paypal and show some love.  Again, KC, thanks for what you do, and please keep rocking the cyber realm as hard as GPN rocks the stage.
