Its official. According to the NY Times techtalk podcast people, Myspace.com has jumped into the online music distribution business.

Owned by News Corp, the same company that runs the NY Post, Myspace.com is ready to offer over 3 million non-DRM'd mp3s for sale from its ranks of unsigned Myspace.com Music bands.

Bands will be able to set the prices for downloads with Myspace.com taking a small cut for the favor. It should be interesting to see how this takes off for unsigned musicians and to see if the major labels will finally go the way of the dinosaurs.

Just in case you don't know, Myspace.com was recently purchased by Rupert Murdoch for $580 million and is the number one online destination for over 106 million users. Kinda like how over 106 million years ago, the Koolasuchus was lurking below the surface waiting for prey. Don't believe me? Peep the video.

But who needs to listen to whole songs anyway? A snippet of something can be just enough to get you through your day. You know quality versus quantity. Boomkat got that quality.

Oh yeah, just in case you haven't heard, the first Tuesday of each month is FREE at the SFMOMA.

Yeah, I missed it too.

Well, lucky for us, the SFMOMA plays nice with broke people like you and me. Yes, it's College Night on September 21 from 6pm - 8:45pm. Catch up with graphic designer Rex Ray, DJ Jimmy Tamborello, and the Paradise Boys.

I don't know man, it's FREE. Don't believe me? Click here if you need proof. Yes, FREE for all Bay Area college students, faculty and staff with ID. Thank you and you to SFMOMA and Noise Pop.

So there you go. This post has been inspired and brought to you by the wonderful world of FREE. You should now be able to buy formerly FREE music on Myspace.com, listen to FREE music snippets on Boomkat.com, and be VIP FREE, or FREE VIP, your choice, courtesy of the SFMOMA.
