This Is My Jam

i like the playlist function, where you can play all your friends' jams -- it's nice to keep up with people's listening without having to do too much work. i also like how it posts your jam to twitter, although you don't really need a service for that, if you just want to tweet about a song you like.

i'm jody_beth. what's your handle?

clearly someone the sculptor knew. a vivid face from the past.

Fizzles, Friday, 10 August 2012 06:07 (eleven years ago) link

I like it. the "Open In Spotify" feature they just rolled out takes it to the next level. automatically generates a playlist out of your past jams and likes.

my username is deadheat.

i like this thing although i am also unsure of where it's gonna go or what it's gonna do but for now i am on it

lex pretend, Friday, 10 August 2012 16:02 (eleven years ago) link

The Spotify addition is neat, except I noticed that it tried to match a couple of my past jams that Spotify didn't have to songs that had similar names or artists.

i really like this, it seems to have a personal nature to it that you often miss online, but my friends aren't really taking the bait. i'll keep persuading. i didn't realise it was soundcloud compatible now, that should help.

Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 4 September 2012 07:49 (eleven years ago) link

is there any way to get a full list of my past jams? it seems that the closest is using the spotify app but obviously everything that's not on spotify is missing.

tubular, mondo, gnabry (Merdeyeux), Thursday, 13 September 2012 20:24 (eleven years ago) link

It's weird that you can see everything you've liked, but not everything you yourself have put up.

This is so much better than I thought it was from the funny tweets.

The Spotofy app is particularly good - lets you quickly browse through past jams of people you follow, then discover new people who have also jammed songs you like.

I forgot to post mine -- it starts off noisy, chills out for a folky middle, gets noisy again, and ends with a song from Labyrinth. It does kind of feel like an odyssey. I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to listen to it.

Merdeyeux, Sunday, 9 August 2015 16:23 (eight years ago) link

jeez, what a great website. rip

Super sad right now. I didn't really even begin using it to its full capabilities until about last year at this time, but I've found out about so much great music from there and have gotten into the routine of sharing a song per day. Now I guess I'll have to reboot an old blog or some shit. This sucks.

I signed up. Don't like it very much.

Cymbal appears to be the closest analogue to TIMJ, but it's mobile-only (and, for the time being, iOS-only). Doesn't really work for me.

jimmy falloff (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Friday, 25 September 2015 23:56 (eight years ago) link

Let's Loop is dumb. Nusiki is a mess. God's Jukebox is at least being developed by a person who was an avid TIMJer, so the expectation is that over time it will incorporate everything that made TIMJ so wonderful.

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 26 September 2015 00:04 (eight years ago) link

I'm hoping so. It definitely looks a little raw right now but there's potential there.

jimmy falloff (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Saturday, 26 September 2015 03:47 (eight years ago) link

Yeah, I set up a Let's Loop account but I reckon I've looked at it maybe once or twice. God's Jukebox is very similar to TIMJ and I feel a lot more comfortable with it.
