What turntable almost looked like

turntable-fm:

We were perusing some old files and this was what the first designed version of turntable looked like.  It’s funny looking back at it and feels like something out of TRON.  Ultimately it didn’t fit in with the feel we wanted to give (making turntable feel like a small trendy, but homey venue).

gbattle sez:

This is hot, if only for the option of using it.  I wish Turntable.fm allowed room owners to skin their venues like old school WinAmp (or Trillian, or your fave customizable desktop app from back in the day).  That would be pretty awesome to personalize the rooms and not merely the Avatars, reflecting the vibe of the room.  Imagine going to a club where all the rooms have different music but looked the same like some Agrestic community?  Yup [Lame Button].

rickwebb: brit: This is a fantastic infographic explaining how bad carbs can be for you. I’ve tried to explain this to many people in person, but a flowchart makes it so much easier. Thanks to Massive Health for designing it. I wish someone had told me this when I was 18 years old.

The first recording I ever purchased was Kiss’ Rock And Roll Over in the summer of 1978.  I knew I wanted a Kiss record and this was the most colorful one.  It was a cassette actually, and it cost me $6.98 at K-Mart.  I remember the cassette very clearly as it had a white case with a yellow sticker.  I was in my basement the first time I pressed play on it.  The studio version of “Calling Dr. Love” was especially catchy along with “Mr. Speed”, not that an 8 year old kid would know what either song was about.   The first vinyl I ever purchased was Kiss Alive II, a double album.  It took a while for me to save enough money to eventually buy Kiss Alive I which was the most expensive Kiss album at the time.
