The weather outside is frightening — but everything’s peachy in the Summer Fridays Turntable.FM room, brought to you by Mashable and Musebox.
If you’re unfamiliar with Turntable.fm, get ready for a litany of bouncing avatars to start haunting your dreams. The startup, which is still in beta, comes from the Stickybits team and is basically like (musical) AOL chatrooms of old — user-created, browser-based chat and listening rooms where “DJs” (a.k.a. you and others) can play songs, vote on how “lame” or “awesome” those songs are, score points for picking good tunes, and chat with others in a sidebar. You can choose songs from a MediaNet-powered library or upload your own. Unfortunately, the site is no longer open to anyone outside the U.S. because of Turntable’s efforts to stay DMCA compliant.
We’ve had a number of Friday jam sessions, and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. ET today we’re escaping the East Coast hurricane with the help of hip-hop artists Miles Jones and Mike Notar. So come hang with us here.
