MySpace Music Delays By Degrees, Drug Abuse Suspected
Like many an aspiring pop princess, MySpace Music is having trouble with punctuality. Metastasized megaconglomerate News Corp and its three record label buddies, los tres amigos, had originally slated their music coup for September 15 for the launch of the free streaming music, download, and concert ticket purchasing wing of the MySpace phenom.
Then Silicon Alley Insider's Peter Kafka reported a delay until September 18. Now Kafka cites industry sources who say the launch may enjoy a full week's delay, presumably to beef up its rat's-nest beehive and crank habit to Winehouse standards.
The real reason behind the delay may be more or less because MySpace Music has yet to find a frontman. The LA Times seems to think there are two possible candidates - former Facebook COO Owen Van Natta and musak industry vet Andy Schuon.

Within one hour of its unboxing, The One became the undisputed ruler of Tiny's entire home. Buy this or despair.
I don't know what new MySpace Music brings to the Music On Demand service. Aren't websites like http://www.deezer.com/en already perfect, or almost, for that?
