My favorite mashup mavens over at Turntable.fm say that they are hosting “what could be TT’s, and possibly the internet’s, first online Music ‘festival’.” A “Mashtival”—they’re calling it. December 7, 8 pm EST is the time. It will take place in various affiliated Mashup rooms: Mashupfm1, Mashupfm2, and the Mashupfm VIP room. “DONT MISS THIS […]
As a die hard Turntable.fm fan, I’ve been reading the service’s blog for a while. Starting in October tt.fm inaugurated a “room-of-the-week” series and has posted on the activities of four rooms. All include very funny exchanges between turntable users and tt.fm’s jessepedia. October 31: Orange Bear Indie Party The convention at the Orange Bear […]
My Amazon Kindle Fire arrived in the mail on Thursday, and I’ve been fiddling with it ever since. Got my Facebook going, read a whole lot of newspapers via the Pulse application, and downloaded a free edition of Tolstoy’s War and Peace. After several days of downloading and noodling with various apps, however, I’m inclined […]
I’ve been complaining for months about the need for more avatars over at Turntable.fm. At last they’ve arrived, at least for Halloween. Here’s a sampling: As you can see, we have the Bride of Frankenstein and various Hollywood axe murderers among the array. Undisplayed is Dracula and the Frankenstein beast himself. Here’s what the scene […]
Thank you Dalton Gore, for producing a nice Chrome extension app that give Turntable.fm users new themes. The uniformity of the tt.fm interface has been bugging me for a while, so this is welcome. I’ve been playing around with the extension and it’s relatively easy and intuitive. Here’s what the “graffiti” theme looks like: Given […]
If you’ve been using Turntable.fm over the last few days, you know that the system has been freezing and crashing a lot, certainly on Firefox and Chrome browsers. Some DJs are losing their connections, chat messages are lagging or not posting, and users are being dropped out of rooms. The tt.fm blog has an update […]
I’m continuing to cultivate my turntable.fm addiction by experimenting with various extensions of the music social networking application for the Chrome browser. No doubt there are many. So far I’ve found four that I enjoy. First a quick refresher. The way turntable.fm works is that you join a room as either a listener or a […]
Everybody’s talking about turntable.fm these days, the service that allows you to create your own music rooms and share tunes with your friends. The New York based startup is such a huge hit that it appears that Lady Gaga and Kanye West are investing their possibly hard earned cash in the application. We did a […]
I went over to Pandora this morning, logged in via my account, and was presented with a very large visual ad offering me the chance to meet singles in San Francisco. It came complete with pictures of fictional women named “sugarfresh16” and “StarCrossedLuvly.” I switched to my Debussy channel and got an Enrico Morricone sound […]
As I write this post, I am part of a DJ team on Turntable.fm for the freaky friday throwdown room. The room system is in beta at this point, I’m told, but there are five DJs and the music has been pretty wonderful so far. Here are the last five songs: Around The World – […]
