Hey U.S. residents, take a break from worrying about the debt ceiling and raise the roof in Mashable‘s Turntable.fm room.
If you’re unfamiliar with Turntable.fm, get ready for 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 — a series of user-created, browser-based chatroom/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. You can choose songs from a MediaNet-powered library or upload your own. Sadly, 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 few Friday jam sessions thus far — courtesy of the MuseBox and their bands, and today we continue that tradition with a celebration of Tummy Touch Records’ 17th birthday. On the decks today, we’ve got Bing Ji Ling (a.k.a. Quinn Luke of the Phenomenal Handclap Band), Turner Cody, Tim “Love” Lee (A&R and label head for Tummy Touch) as well as some Mashable staff.
Queue up, everyone! You can join us here.
