Another sign of the times. Garageband.com is done. Come July 15th users will be directed to iLike to continue to stream their music. The site was somewhat of a pioneer, empowering the community to vote—via a ballot/rating system—on bands they thought were good. But like it’s peers, cough, MySpace, cough, it didn’t changed with the times and became sort of obsolete. And, that design. Gross. Maybe a face lift into the 21st century would have helped. Still, we’re sad to see it go. We support anything that gives gives fledgling bands the space to promote themselves.

From Garageband.com:

“The landscape of how music is discovered and delivered has changed drastically over the last decade and we are proud to have been a huge part of that change Ëœ first with Garageband.com and then with iLike.com and beyond. Sadly, that landscape will not include Garageband.com anymore.”

“If you want to continue to make your music available for streaming or download on iLike.com and the iLike application on Facebook, please go to iLike.com and login with your Garageband username and password by July 15th, 2010. This will automatically link your account to iLike so we can port your music, profile photo, and biography to iLike.com.”
