Google has begun sending out invitations with a Spinal Tap reference that lead us to believe there is a Google Music event scheduled for next week. While the notice says little besides that the announcement is the 16 and will be broadcast on the Android YouTube channel, all signs point toward a music store accompanying its recently launched streaming and storage service.

We just got word from Google of an Android-themed event next week, with little more than the words “These Go to Eleven” right up top — a reference to a phrase from the 1984 mockumentary This is Spinal Tap . To top things off, the email came from “Nigel Tufnel,” Christopher Guest’s character from the film. The event kicks off in Los Angeles at 2PM local time (that’s 5PM for you folks on the East Coast) on Wednesday, November 16th

iTunes is the 600-pound gorilla of the digital music world, but that hasn’t stopped other folks from trying to get a piece of Apple’s sizable sonic pie. The latest challenger, Beyond Oblivion, has quite an unusual business model — rights holders get paid by the company every time a song is played using the service, regardless of that song’s origin. That’s right, even when you listen to illicitly obtained music, Beyond Oblivion picks up the tab. Buy a licensed device and you’re in the club — with some sort of DRM manning the velvet rope, no doubt — where you can enjoy cloud-based tunes, free downloads, and build and share playlists (similar to the oft-rumored , yet unseen Google Music ). Rather than recommending new tunes, a la the Genius sidebar , Beyond Oblivion lets you follow similar-minded musical aficionados (and grab their playlists) to find hot new jams. If that sounds good to you, public beta starts April 4th, with a June 12 commercial release to follow

The Android world’s been a-buzz this last week over a few new Android Market URLS, including http://market.android.com/music/ and http://market.android.com/movies/ . In case you thought there was nothing to this tip, guess again: the third member of this trifecta ( http://market.android.com/books/ ) has gone live. That’s right, visitors to the Android Market can pick up Glenn Beck’s mile-a-minute thrill ride The Overton Window for a mere $9. We hope that takes some of the sting out of the fact that a Google Music launch wasn’t part of this month’s Honeycomb event — although if we had to wager a guess, we’d say that the company will have Music and Movie offerings soon enough. Android Market adds e-books; movies and music soon to come

Google’s last Android-centric event, Google I/O in the middle of last year, treated us to a pair of delectable demos that may now finally be turning into mobile realities. One was a web client for the Android Market with OTA installations — you just browse to an app you want to install while on your desktop and choose to push it to your Android device — and the other was a cloud-based music backup and streaming service.

Google’s been teasing cloud-based music features in Android since its I/O conference last year, and the recent leak of a revamped first-party Music app suggests that the plans haven’t evaporated into thin air. Here’s the latest tidbit: GizmoFusion claims that this screen shot comes from a device running Gingerbread , clearly showing “Music” as one of the accounts configured in Android’s settings, which suggests that the system will be pretty deeply-integrated to sync your tracks just as it would your Twitter updates, your Facebook friends, or your calendar entries. Note that we don’t have any new evidence beyond this one shot — and we need to take GizmoFusion ‘s word that this is a Gingerbread device — but we’re wondering if maybe this isn’t one of the new features in that Android 2.4 build we’ve been hearing a lot about lately.
