"It's Showtime." Can't access iTunes music store.

Something's up...movies? Big black screen with "It's Showtime. iTunes Music Store being updated." What crappy timing for Jobs, who has been silent on the ABC docuganda. Still, interesting...

1. There's a special press event today.

From The Unofficial Apple Weblog (www.tuaw.com):

As of approximately 8:30 AM Eastern in the US, the "iTunes Store" (note that the word "music" has been omitted) is unavailable. Like many of you, I got the message pictured at right when I went from the main page to the TV Shows page and back again. Is anyone outside the US experiencing the same outage and/or message? Ooh, the anticipation builds. And now we wait.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Update: We're getting reports that the iTunes Store is unavailable in the UK, Norway, Italy, Germany, France, Denmark, Belgium, Sweden, Canada, Greece, Ireland, Japan, Australia, Portugal, The Netherlands, Spain...whew! Could this mean movies for all?

4. I was listening to IndiAirplay radio, and they have a free music podcast

I was gonna check it out. I hit the station accidentally. It's a mix of just about everything, but a bit to heavy on the dance crap. Still, if it's free music legally, I'm willing to check it out!
