If you like Ne Yo Drake, Jay-Z, and Kanye West, then you have to listen to the featured artist of the week with Devon Michael. The best part about Devon Michael is his originality. You get more than one speed of music from this album. It travels from great driving music, to the dance floor, to the street, and to the bedroom. It is impossible to get bored with this album, because there's is no one constant. It makes the listener wonder what the next song will bring. If you enjoy R&B and Hip Hop, you get the best of both worlds and it's impossible to just listen to once, in fact, you get hooked.

An executive from social-music site Imeem told CNET News just days ago that the company would not be going through a round of layoffs. Well, not quite. Imeem's vice president of marketing, Matt Graves, said the question was actually "whether we had done layoffs, not whether we were going to," and that he answered accordingly. Sneaky! He proceeded to confirm a report from PaidContent that a quarter of the company has been laid off. "There's not as much money floating around the market, and we had to cut our costs to accommodate," Graves said. He added that the layoffs are companywide--"finance, marketing, communications, product, technical operations"--clarifying the PaidContent assertion that the layoffs had been primarily "on the technical back-end side." He would not comment on the other half of PaidContent's report--that Imeem is planning to shop itself to prospective buyers. PaidContent's Rafat Ali added that Imeem's projected valuation is more than $200 million, a figure that many media and technology companies might not be willing to fork over at this point. Imeem has taken venture funding from Sequoia Capital, a firm that has advocated extreme caution and frugality amid financial panic. Another Sequoia-backed company, Jive Software, cut a third of its employees within days of the now-famous letter from the venture firm to its portfolio CEOs.

In the Cinema brings an artful sound never heard before. Not to mention, their unique music style is nearly impossible to compare with other artists. This sort of quality is what most artists strive to achieve. Many artists accomplish this task, but they do not produce the kind of quality music that people enjoy over and over. Where other artists have failed, the brother duo, Ryan and Joe Hughes have succeeded by doing what others only dream of. Ryan and Joe have taken the traditional art of folk music, combined it with modern rock and tied it with an electronica sensibility to create, In the Cinema. \n\nListen to music from their 2010 debut album, For the Struggle with a special appearance by the band, here at: http://thegreatunknowns.podomatic.com/entry/2010-07-16T08_34_02-07_00\n\nRead an exclusive interview with Ryan and Joe at: http://greatunknownsmusicexpose.blogspot.com/2010/07/interview-with-in-cinema-cinematic.html \n

Tangent Transmission is not the typical Los Angeles rock band. In fact, they give a whole new definition to the meaning of rock. Perhaps it should be called tangent rock, because they do not intersect with any other sound except with their own, taking audiences to new heights by giving them an experience they have ever heard before. \n\nListen to an exclusive full length 4-track music preview from their soon-to-be-released debut EP right here: http://thegreatunknowns.podomatic.com/entry/2010-07-09T08_12_27-07_00\n\nRead an exclusive one-on-one interview with lead singer, pianist, and guitarist Sam Sobo: \nhttp://greatunknownsmusicexpose.blogspot.com/2010/07/tangent-transmission-redefining-rock.html \n

If Amy Lee of Evanescence and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails were fused together in an accidental transporter incident, the result would be the birth of Klaryssa Korok, the heart and soul of Chamber of Echoes. \n\nRead my exclusive interview with Klayrssa at: \nhttp://greatunknownsmusicexpose.blogspot.com/2010/02/unbound-and-set-free-interview-with.html \n\nThank you for making The Great Unknowns Presents grow to 42,577 subscribers! \nInvite everyone to this group and make it grow even larger and surpass my goal of 129,000 subscribers to make this the number one podcast in America!

Here's what we believe happened: CBS requested user data from Last.fm, including user name and IP address. CBS wanted the data to comply with a RIAA request but told Last.fm the data was going to be used for "internal use only." It was only after the data was sent to CBS that Last.fm discovered the real reason for the request. Last.fm staffers were outraged, say our sources, but the data had already been sent to the RIAA.

The disc opens to a folder containing 23 construction kits ranging from 80 to 180 bpm, with most hovering around 120. I'm immediately impressed by the scope of what's offered: everything from dream-pop, robot music, techno-goth and early Ministry-like electro industrial (minus screaming guitars) to erotic '80s house and even a cool downtempo new-wave rap beat
