Listen With
Fri, 01/13/2012 - 16:00Yesterday Facebook got into the “Listen With” game by announcing a new feature that allows people to click a button and listen to what their friends are listening to along with them. I haven’t tried it yet but it does look pretty nice.
Of course, as soon as they announced it, everyone cried “they are stealing from Turntable.fm”. Techcrunch even ran a followup post where Billy Chasen the founder of Turntable.fm said he was flattered Facebook was copying them.
Here’s the thing: Facebook is not copying Turntable. Not only are the features pretty different, but the idea of listening with friends is as old as, I don’t know, say, music.
As listening moved online, one of the promises of that was the idea that we could now network our stereos and listen to music with other people regardless of physical location. I’ll argue that no one has nailed it yet but clearly we are getting close. I believe the way to do it right is to study how, why and when people listen to music and then shape these tools to support that behavior. We (exfm) have some interesting ideas around how to do this, but are not ready to roll anything substantial out yet. Judging from the comments on those TC posts, it looks like there are a bunch of sites out there trying as well.
So to sum up, no Facebook is not copying Turntable.fm. Listening with friends online is a pretty old idea (see my 2004 grad school project Awaire). A bunch of sites are also doing this (see Tomahawk). And in my opinion nobody has gotten it right yet. Oh and if you really want to Listen With in exfm, ok fine, you can do that right here.

MIKE SNIPER: An Indie Label in 2012.
Wed, 01/11/2012 - 16:47MIKE SNIPER: An Indie Label in 2012.:
I read this post yesterday and loved it. Today we’re featuring these guys as our Site of the Day. Go read the post and then go listen to their music. You’ll love both of them.
I posted a recent Facebook comment regarding our policies with signing artists and found myself getting into a discussion of what the role of an independent label is in 2012, something I’ve often been asked about in interviews but have never really been able to elaborate on.
Basically, it…

My Top 10 Songs of 2011
Fri, 12/23/2011 - 15:17Every year I do a Top 10 Albums of the Year post. Here’s this year’s. This year though, my listening habits have changed thanks to exfm. While I still consider myself an ‘album listener’, I’m also very much a ‘singles listener’ now too. So it’s only appropriate to do a Top 10 Songs of the Year post. My only criteria was that these songs could not be on any of the albums I chose for top albums. In no particular order:
Nadine by Project Jenny, Project Jan http://ex.fm/song/3di
Go Outside by Cults http://ex.fm/song/10a
Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People http://ex.fm/song/2xc
Riding Coach by 1,2,3 http://ex.fm/song/1qw
Northern Mentality by Mathieu Santos http://ex.fm/song/4m3
Truth by Alexander http://ex.fm/song/4pa
Barracudas by The Devil Whale http://ex.fm/song/1ut0a
Ffunny Ffriends by Unknown Mortal Orchestra http://ex.fm/song/33l
Last Night at the Jetty by Panda Bear http://ex.fm/song/2yb

Most people I know don’t know about this either - http://www.spinner.com/interface. It’s pretty amazing.
Do you know about this? I didn’t.
I literally had no idea this has been happening. And it looks like it’s been happening for a while now, too. There are 17 of them in total. I watched the one with Ryan Adams the other day and he blew me away. And to think I almost missed it. There is just so…

Exfm Trending. Now With Extra Tremendous.
Tue, 12/06/2011 - 22:08Yesterday you had one choice for Trending on exfm – whatever was popular overall. While great, we knew we could do better. So, we did.
Starting today you can filter Trending.
Want to see what’s Trending just for the genre Rock? Mouse over the blue /OVERALL near the top of the exfm window and a drop down appears. Click on Rock and voila – trending just for Rock. Same thing applies for the other genres listed. You can also filter for Just Your Network (the people you follow) or our amazing Tastemakers, too.
It’s not just limited to the ones listed. You can manually fill in any genre. Place the cursor just after TRENDING/ and type in any genre you want. A handy feature – type two characters and it will suggest popular genres for you. Hit tab to auto-complete a suggested genre or keep hitting tab to cycle through possible genres based on that letter combo.
These new filter controls are incredibly powerful, amazingly flexible and will open up entire new worlds of music discovery. We hope you like them. Have at it.
