What's your 'jam'?
Any of you played with this site yet? http://thisismyjam.com/seaninsound
It's now out of beta. so anyone can join in. Been really liking it for getting recommendations of just 1 thing a week from people whose taste I trust.
What one song are you loving at the minute?

terrible
Right now this is my jam:
http://youtu.be/2q25nUY3iEE
ok, signed up - don't really get it. When do I get my jam?
I'm on it
it's pretty pointless but in a fairly charming way, but if they didn't send me reminders every week i'd almost certainly never update
stop stealing my terminology dickwad
this my jam right now

THUGGIN'
Invite only :(
here you go, 100 sign-ups for DiSsers
http://thisismyjam.com/?i=disjam
(thought anyone could sign-in using Twitter or Facebook, must've misunderstood...although it's understandable that they want to develop it fully before it over expands)
You have to sign in
to see if you have any friends already connected who want to invite you. But cheers!
oh
they said you wouldn't with that link...soz.
I have a couple
of invites going, otherwise you can get on if one of your Twitter buddies is on.
Do you have 'buddies' on twitter?
I always thought it was pretty much a site for stalking people who want to be stalked. But if you've got a spare invite going...
what's the point...?
Summertime Lovin, Lovin in the Summer(Time) - Solid Bold
This is my jam.
"Sign in with Twitter or Sign in with Facebook"
Oh. Anyway...
What's the killer feature?
simplicity and focus
encourages recommendations of one thing you love, rather than a never-ending i sort of like this link-bait...
also isn't designed to do anything else so there's no clutter.
Awful name, great idea.
A twitter jukebox basically, streaming tracks picked by people you follow. Great way of listening to music more often than you would via a one-off tweet. The name is irritating ("This is MY Jam, NOT YOURS") but a cool wee site.
I think the name is actually genius ...
Use of the word "my" means people have ownership of what they pick. That and the fact that you only get one song at a time means you think about what you choose.
just popped up this week's jam
Stay+ http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4143100-chill-rave-and-leaving-behind-christianaids--dis-meets-stay
http://thisismyjam.com/seaninsound
I'm enjoying this
as Sean says its quite refreshing to just stream one standout song that a person whose taste you trust is into right now rather than be faced with a limitless list of links
http://thisismyjam.com/HaydenWoolley if you're interested, I'd like some more ppl to follow
Bob Marley » Doughnuts »

this is now open to everyone
http://thisismyjam.com/pichaelmarker
Nice idea, now just to remember to put up a new one every week.
I'm just going to leave mine the same forever.
http://thisismyjam.com/TonyTheGigGuy
Ah yes, it goes after a week, duh ...
Good little idea, though.
I always forget!
joined

I think I'm gonna be a fan of the no-nonsense simplicity of this.
And nice to be able to sign up normally with email. Could do with RSS, though, imo. Anyway, I followed the lot of yers.

OK, first impressions (after half an hour or so)
Fantastic possibilities for getting just ONE treasured recommendation from EVERYONE, every week. Picked The Temptations as my first jam and got some crap recommendations (just cos Whitney Houston is the same colour as The Temps don't mean she's any good!) but I expect after a while it will even out into a range of stuff I actually do like. Nice to see what the musos I like are picking, too.
I think it's shit
Been a member for a while. Can't really understand it. you post a song. That's it. GRATE.
You missed out the following other people bit ...
Bet you think facebook and twitter are rubbish too if you just post stuff and never read anything ;=)
Yeah but they post a song
So what? I got the whole friggin' internet full of music to listen to.
yeah this is fun i guess
yeah this is fun i guess
will be interesting to see how quickly i forget about it.
http://thisismyjam.com/sunstroke_house
got an absolute scorcher of a thread related to this
lined up for tomorrow

Will give this a go I suppose!
I like it

I just can't get with the name
The idea of a 39 year old having his Facebook feed saying "this is my new jam"... can't do it. A pity because it sounds like a decent idea.
Just started using this.
Can already see myself going over the top with hyperactively changing tracks.
http://thisismyjam.com/tcs
Just playing with it
Strange how you pick a song from the search results, then it changes the name/artist randomly. Odd. Anyway it's:
http://thisismyjam.com/timmyruss
..if you're interested.
It scrobbles.
That's nice.
i'm not really sure what to do but

Being a bit hot and cold with it.
ffs.
Being a bit hot and cold with it. But hot now. http://thisismyjam.com/TomOberst
Very addictive
I'm truly hooked. I've only been two days on it but loving the format. The fact it updates, scrobbles and you can leave comments on people's page about their 'jam'is brilliant. Simple but effective.
I've added so many people that I've got quite a few tracks to listen to tonight while I work.
The best thing is that I've heard music that I would never have gone round to listening otherwise.
Right now it's 'Good Morning, Captain' by Slint. :)
how're you all liking this now?
http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4144756-behind-the-screens--dis-meets-this-is-my-jam
I can't get enough of this right now, so I guess it would be my jam if I used this site
Grimes - Genesis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKyNGSPX_8g&feature=fvst
I think I'm over this now.
btw...sorry...It's probably go the way of instagramming food from popups now. Was a lot of fun.
Still a lot of fun for me
Still getting some great tracks from 'listeners' - nice to get comments back on your tracks by 'followers'.
I think that if you want to make a success of it, you need to add loads of people to start with, then you'll have loads to listen to and pick and choose.
