IDEA: Turntable.fm for airplane flights
Seriously, you have a captive audience for hours that knows nothing about each other. What better way to learn about someone than by having them
spin some tunes? You can integrate it in to the seatback displays and voila! I know they already do this with a trivia game so it’s definitely possible. Everyone is listening to music anyways and the entertainment value of this would be very high.
I think this is a great idea, someone tell the guys at turntable.fm for me!

Radiohead
Re-discovering Radiohead’s Pablo Honey album today while working. Verdict: 90’s Radiohead > Today’s Radiohead.
Music to me:
This is how I deal with music nowadays:
- Discovery: Turntable.fm
- Analysis (deciding to buy song or album): Spotify
- Purchasing: Amazon MP3
- Listening: iPhone/iTunes
The real question is, when will these services start to merge together (or will they ever?)
MoneyGrabber
Fitz & The Tantrums
I heard MoneyGrabber a while back but was skeptical of buying the whole album since I could only hear short previews on iTunes/Amazon. Enter spotify. I signed up this morning and discovered a fantastic hidden perk to the service: Listening to full albums whenever you want! One listen-through later and I have a new album purchased from Amazon for $5.99. Hooray, the system works!
Question for the masses: What do you use sleeve pockets for?
