A new part of MySpace was just launched recently called Transmissions. This new extension will feature candid session videos and recordings of musicians.

The only thing on the page right now are a few session recordings from James Blunt and a video interview of him sitting at a piano. The level indicators are looking fine. Five songs for $14 is a bit hmmm...

MySpace obviously wants this to become the MTV Unplugged for today’s music fans. Session recordings are perfect for MySpace because of their intimate nature and immediacy. Fans can get involved by leaving comments or going to the forums. Soon it looks like they will be able to vote for their favorite songs in each session, and request musicians to be featured in upcoming “transmissions.” This would be great for live performances as well.
