The End Of “TRL”: What It Means For MTV Interns, Sbarro, And America Right Now, Sammy Hagar Is Exploiting His Past

myspacesuckstshirt.jpgThe launch of MySpace Music–you know, the joint venture between MySpace and the major labels that’s going to change everything, or at least get the biz some semi-positive press for a couple of days after it launches–is rumored to be delayed until at least next week. Or maybe later. Where can I place a bet on this thing actually launching before the end of the quarter? I’m feeling lucky! [Silicon Alley Insider]

    My guess is end of October, and the CEO they hire will be the guy who helps them close EMI.

    @Rob Murphy: Agreed.


    Re: Maura, maybe we should come up with futures based on various music-industry happenings. Then we could short MySpace Music actually launching, market-that-fucked-Lehman-Brothers-style.

    I'll share here my theory that the snag is News Corp.'s inability to lock up a deal with EMI. They don't want to launch the venture without music from all the majors. "Sources say" a deal is near, but there seem to be some last-minute sticking points.
