Google's long-awaited music store and iTunes challenger has been launched with a number of exclusives from artists such as The Rolling Stones and Coldplay.
The service offers a mixture of streaming, downloads and social media, syncing users' entire music library across their devices.
The initial reaction from Silicon Valley tech writers was that the service was, well, pretty similar to iTunes, but, you know, not as great.
Google's bid to break Apple's decade-long supremacy in the digital music world allows users to store up to 20,000 songs in their personal locker on the Google cloud service. That is similar to what Apple's Match cloud server offers its users, except, according to one Google exec, his company won't be charging an annual fee to allow users to listen to their own music on the cloud. (Apple's Match charges a $25 annual fee for storage.)
Tracks bought from the Google store are automatically synced to users' library, while there is also the option to share one full free play of a track with a friend using the Google+ social networking site.
So far, Google has signed up three of the four major record labels - Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment and EMI - but has not yet reached a deal with the Warner Music Group, which has a 20-percent share of the U.S. market.
Exclusives on the service include an unheard concert recording from The Rolling Stones, a Coldplay live track, Busta Rhymes' first single from his upcoming album 'Why Stop Now', along with content from Shakira, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band and DJ Tiesto.
There has been no word yet on when the service will be launched in the UK.

HIP HOP SLOWS DOWN AND GROWS UP by Carol Sigman Online Music Watchdog:
Never before in the history of Hip Hop, or it's culture has there been a single rap record created that allows today's hip hop heads, as well as non hip hop heads alike to take there partner by the hand and slow drag to thehttp://snd.sc/vxQC4B record,That's right I said “slow drag!” Wow, remember that form of dancing in the blue light basement parties in Brooklyn back in the 70's and 80's? Well unlike the current records that have been released over the years by artist such as Drake and Lil Wayne to respectfully name a few, I discovered an online joint that took me back to my younger years of pot smoking, class skipping ,and basement slow dragging parties all in one and it wasn't a traditional songster or even a singer for that matter this joint was, get this, performed by an artist known internationally as Gangster rapper! according to some of the online Google results I got when I started looking into this song I heard Sunday October 30th
I was in the kitchen of my small Brooklyn apartment when my 17 year old son asked if he could use our shared computer, like most of the time I said sure, no problem, I'd say about 20 minutes past when I noticed my son in the living room with the head phones on and his eyes closed nodding his head to this record, I panicked a little bit because my son is generally a very hyper teen music listener, and I usually hear small amounts of change jingling in his pockets or see him lip syncing and bouncing around to what ever he's listening too, but not that day. I walked up to him, pulled the headphones off one ear and asked him flat out, “alright Jamal, what girl got you listening to grown folks music?”
My son replied this ain't your grown folks music ma, this is our grown folks music
[referring to his age group]
So I asked him to start the record over, and he did, and I asked him, “Jamal,is this dude rapping to this music” and he said “yeah ma” I asked him who the rapper was and he said “Scarecrow”, I said “who?” and he said “his name is Hector but sometimes people call him Scarecrow”. I asked my son to burn me a copy of the song on a CD for my car and he did. Monday I called off from work to catch up on my house cleaning and get ready for trick or treaters, and take some me time, later that morning I Googled “Hector Scarecrow” and saw 423,000 hits for an Atlanta producer named Lord Hector Diono, and the song I was listening to was a joint called
“I Don't Know The Plan”. I saw it on soundcloud.com, but at the time I couldn't download this song my folder, it was streaming only and after that I started searching the web, I located him on facebook, linkedin, myspace, and a host of other sites all over the internet, so I sent him a private request on facebook. I asked Hector if it would be okay with him if I blogged my story about how I heard the first rap slow jam ever made and it was his song, and he sent me his phone number to discuss my request since I don't work for him, in short we spoke for about 15 minutes and to my surprise Hector sounds like a Caribbean gigolo on the phone {smiles} he said to me, “sure darling I don't see why not” WOW.. he sounded so good to me but enough of that, he even fixed it online where I'd be able to download this song for free after I explained to him that I couldn't download it because of the player settings and he fixed it just for me! Carol from Brooklyn! Hector told me that if I was going to blog him to be sure I spelled his name right and announce that it will be on iTunes on Saturday November 12 and to download his free Android app from https://market.android.com he didn't know I had found that info on the internet already I was going to write that anyway (smiles)
Thank you Lord Hector Diono for giving Hip Hop a reason to hold their lady every now and again. Carol Sigman from Brooklyn!Source: http://snd.sc/vxQC4B

Labor Day; it’s a time for sharing, a time for giving, a time… Well, okay we don’t actually know what Labor Day is officially meant to celebrate but for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad users, Labor Day means cold, hard savings.
This year is one hell of a doozy with big names like mega-publisher EA, perennial imitator Gameloft, Sonic the Hedgehog creators Sega and even more getting in on the action. And while the meaning of the holiday may be obscure, there is nothing obscure about getting Dead Space $0.99. Or how about Shadow Guardian the same price?

This is a mixtape where rapper Mitsurugi Kazumaru tries to allow both his Cel-Man Iller and Little Boy Satan persona coexist. Picture this: The end result is a mash up of traxXx created, written, and recorded in the middle of a pentagram, selling a soul and sacrificing a first born. Lyrics are over the top and edgy. Simple yet witty. Cel-Man Iller is known for much better lyricism than this but in his own words stated that, "I didn't want to constantly come out with a mixtape where I'm just a dude using these big words with these dope beats and people are like, 'YEAH this is dope!' but once they leave my presence, 'I don't know what that nigga was talking about though in his raps.' So this is like...a dumbed down version of Cel-Man honestly...it hurt to do it but...-shrugs-" This is the mixtape he made for everyone to enjoy and vibe to while still carrying around his Horrorcore, acid rap status. It's a 14 track mixtape, though on the Peanut Butter Mech BandCamp you will notice it only has 13. Apparently the Charlie Sheen Status single is apart of the mixtape as well but due to an offer from iTunes was distributed separately to increase revenue. The emcee also had this to say, "Fans have known me for versatile lyrics in the past, the only difference between that and this mixtape is all of my old work had a monotone feel to it, as if I had the wording and was working on a delivery. This mixtape has/delivery/Flubeum/lyrics. 3 key elements, The Prunes gotta bring the grafitti now.
http://peanutbuttermechherbanlyf.bandcamp.com/album/light-of-the-darkness
There is an expansion pack to the album coming soon titled Light Of The Darkness: Six Sick Shits. Unlike the prior installment it won't be 'Cel-Man's' mixtape but instead L.B.S'. 'Production for it is going quite well, got some new engineering techniques down so mixing will go way better and people won't be complaining about the vocals being to loud now.' So keep a look out for it, there is one track on the bandcamp promoting the song titled "Punch A Fucking Baby [Spray On Condoms/Old School Pussy]
A horribly mixed song with a horrible message, about possessions, murder, dismemberment, rape, sodomy, drugs, the only thing we don't hear about is money and cars in the song. The song is the most obnoxious piece of work I've ever heard but apparently that will be the most obscene song on the mixtape...we think.

"Ok so here we go.
Hello everyone. My name is Mitsurugi Kazumaru the demon infested, schizophrenic, bi-polar young man also known as Cel-Man Iller (Anime styled pirate 22 year old, possessed by 6 old evil demons with unbelievable abilities in rapping skills, think Travis Touchdown/Scott Pilgram/Squall Leonheart/Metal Sonic hybrib).
This mixtape was my first solo/SOLO project aside from any other Peanut Butter Mech projects in a while since Persona 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
I had been recording a lot of songs for Peanut Butter Mech with the same old Slim Lo persona as in the past.
I wanted to dip out of my old monophonic style back with my Infinity Incomplete Institute Inc. Mixtape but that turned into another Slim Lo prodigy.
The first step of stepping out of that style was back in 2010 when KidEquip and I came into Kyobito Pt. 5 [Dream]
http://www.youtube.com/v/XKhpyReSmY8
Though the Persona 5 mixtape got good reviews in my eye's I still felt it lacking so I upped my game in later 2010 when I started to let myself slip back into my more darker state and not try to fight it and write about my experince of life through darker eye's from my past that I had gotten out of in early 2010.
I released Charlie Sheen Status that got the attention of iTunes and then it seemed like all of my associates and affiliates in PBM as far as Producers had upped their game as well and collaborating became an awesome mix of swamp skunk soup of nasty funk dope shit!
So the sound may sound more Underground/Pop/Alternative/Experimental sound to it which I didn't want a pop genre tagged on this project, especially it being my last Mixtape ever, but it fucking happened anyways so fuck it. But anyways, here is the mixtape! Enjoy! Download is free except Charlie Sheen Status due to the iTunes agreement, so it can only get purchased from there and all the support is appreciated much. It will go towards Peanut Butter Mech & Tha Herban Lyf Projects in the future. And possibly give me motivation to keep doing solo work."
