Ah, quite clever.

This one's for Dan. Being the Beatles fan that you are, and the person who first introduced me to Led Zeppelin when I was a bit younger...
This one's for you buddy!

finally - a good way to find music to listen to online!
Check out http://www.thesixtyone.com
Set up an account for yourself, and you can create an online playlist, and vote for your favorite songs. What does the voting do? Well it moves them up the charts at the site. Here's the fun part though... each vote costs you 'points'. But, if a song moves up the charts that you voted for, you get points back!
So, in essence, you get rewarded for choosing songs that you think other people will like too.

Or, you get rewarded for fitting in the mold of everyone else! ;)

You seem to get 50 points for just joining up, and then 10 more when you login (once per day). And each vote, or 'bump' as they call it, costs you 5 points. I don't know where the other 35 came from that I seem to have right now.

It's kind of a fun game. And you get to listen to music while you play it!

I really like both the idea of this site, and the execution of the site. The ajax is nice and fluid, and really creates a nice user experience. And as anyone who knows me knows... I love to hear new music. That's why I own Sirius radios. But now, I can hear new stuff just by logging in to this website.

Even if you aren't interested in voting for songs, or 'playing' the artist scouting game, you can just hit 'play' on any of the songs, and you get to hear one song after another. So, just put the page on as a background music for yourself, and when you hear a track you like, add it to your playlist, or bump it... or do nothing, and just enjoy the music!

What a great idea!
