For the final installment of the Summer Fridays Turntable.fm room — brought to you by Mashable and Musebox — Nat and Alex Wolff of Nickelodeon fame will spin on the ones and twos from 4 to 6 p.m. ET.
The brothers first shot to fame in 2004 when they starred in “The Naked Brothers Band” rock musical comedy. The movie spawned their Nickelodeon TV series in 2007. Now, they have an indie album, Black Sheep, due out in October. And last week, they debuted their music video for “Thump Thump.”
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.
Come hang with us and the Wolff brothers here.
