By the end of September the MySpace music store will be up and running. It will allow users to download and stream millions of songs from major labels. New music and back catalog will be available.

MySpace Music will be competing with Apple iTunes but they are planning on offering more music sharing and an overall better program. The downloads will be powered through Amazon. Fans can share music through personal MySpace pages, build communal playlists and use the store to buy tickets or artist merchandise.

MySpace Music will focus on sharing music and gathering new tracks from friends. You can check out what others are listening to also. So quit your complaining about the new Facebook and start using MySpace again. At least it will have handy applications like this.

It’ll look something like this so you can buy tracks/albums right off the artist page:

San Francisco’s Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival recently announced single-day tickets are now available. This is great news if you’re tight on cash and can’t afford the $225 plus fees for the 3-day pass. General admission 1-day tickets cost $85 and a percentage of this will go towards SF Parks and local chartiable organizations. Now the hardest part - picking a day. Radiohead will headline Friday August 22nd, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers on Saturday and Jack Johnson on Sunday. Other artists recently added include: The Coup, Lupe Fiasco, Steel Pulse and ALO. For the full line-up & any new artists added to it check: http://www.sfoutsidelands.com/artists/.

You can add scalpers alongside dog killers on the list of people Trent Reznor doesn’t kick it with. For the band’s upcoming tour, the best tickets to each show will be reserved for a limited NIN.com personalized presale:

Nine Inch Nails has secured extremely limited allotments of the guaranteed best possible seats to every headlining show on the band’s upcoming tour and reserved them for pre-sale via NIN.com. Beginning roughly 72 hours prior to each general on-sale, Nine Inch Nails fans registering under their legal names at NIN.com will be offered exclusive advance access to these prime tickets.
Additionally, in an initiative to protect NIN fans from scalpers and ticket brokers, every pre-sale ticket will be personalized with the purchaser’s legal name printed on the ticket. Tickets will not be available until night of show, at which point they will be waiting for the purchaser and his/her party at designated will calls at separate entrances to be used exclusively by NIN.com pre-sale ticket holders.
Government-issued ID matching the name printed on the ticket will be required for venue entry night of show. NO tickets will be mailed in advance.

Never Forget. Nine Inch Nails is SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS

NIN. ITZ SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS.
