CPF Turntable!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 28 2011 09:44 AM

Is anyone else interested in goofing off at turntable.fm?

metirish Jun 28 2011 09:46 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

I'm there , need to think of a proper DJ name though , not as easy as you might think. Wish it worked here at work. Anyway this thing looks like great fun.

Edgy DC Jun 28 2011 09:47 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

Maybe next week. My goofoff addiction is deadly.

TransMonk Jun 28 2011 09:48 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

B-b-but it's a work day! It does sound intriguing, but this week is a mess for me.

A Boy Named Seo Jun 28 2011 09:52 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

Surfing today or I would. Went in that room last night & it was a ghost town. Where all the party people at??

metirish Jun 28 2011 06:37 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

DJ Kid Cater is trying to spin tunes in the pool......need other DJs in there.....not fully understanding this thing yet.

metirish Jun 29 2011 10:11 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

Had some fun with another DJ in the pool last night ....Fritz Patton was the name, spun some Queen. a few things, need to be able to save your fave rooms, seeing a profile for a DJ would be cool, or when you add someone they should show up on a list.

Edgy DC Jun 29 2011 10:34 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

DJ Wonderful Woody is da house. What's our room?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 29 2011 10:37 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

Yeah it's a bit of a mess at times and it's only beginning. There doesn;t seem to be any way to limit the number of rooms you create, nor delete them. You can change your name and avatar all the time, so unless you become a "fan" you'll never know how to find someone. In the meantime, you huys know I'm a black belt in Classic Rock, but my times DJing in the CR rooms there get me bounced for anything not in top 100 of the Challenge. Why not just turn on your radio, dude? I need some intrepid rock and roll fans -- and listeners.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 29 2011 10:38 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

Go here: http://turntable.fm/cranepool

Edgy DC Jun 29 2011 10:48 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

Mole, get on board. Need some classick R&B.

TheOldMole Jun 29 2011 01:29 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

It's cranepool all one word, right? I seem to get there all right, but I never find anyone else there. Give me a meetup time.

Edgy DC Jun 29 2011 01:40 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

I could goof off there all day, but I had to get some work done. Maybe during tonight's game. And Seo's avatar just staring at me and refusing to play any songs? CREEPY!

Willets Point Jun 29 2011 01:42 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

What is this? You sent me an invite on FaceBook and I have no clue what it's all about.

OK, DJ Wonderful Woody is in the room. Is he one of us?

Edgy DC Jun 29 2011 02:15 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

Edgy DC Jun 29 2011 02:59 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

Def need LeiterWagner here.

What's all this, then? (Apparently, my work computer is having issues with some script or other.)

Edgy DC Jun 29 2011 05:01 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

Use Chrome. They're still figuring out how to make it happy with IE.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 29 2011 08:46 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

We're spinning tunes for tack-on runs in the CPF room... NOW!!!!

Rockin' Doc Jun 29 2011 08:58 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

Damn, I'm just going have to break down and start a Facebook account someday.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 29 2011 09:00 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

It's the coolest and stupidest thing ever

TransMonk Jun 29 2011 09:44 PM Re: CPF Turntable! Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 29 2011 10:15 PM

This is the coolest and stupidest thing ever. My DJ name is TK Slumberparty.

Edgy DC Jun 29 2011 09:55 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

I fully expect the word "Turntable" to appear five times in the divorce papers served against me.

metirish Jun 30 2011 05:04 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

It was a blast, the site needs some tweaking but as a starting point it's damn good. Speaking of damn good, it will be hard to beat Willets entry as a Cranepool DJ, Spinal Tap's Stonehenge.

seawolf17 Jun 30 2011 05:44 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

Yay! Something else that wants my facebook information! Bleh.

Edgy DC Jun 30 2011 06:04 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

Seo's practically the last of the Crane Pool playboys. (Spitter?) I hope he got Jessica's digits.

A Boy Named Seo Jun 30 2011 11:10 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

I was playing aloof, but Jessica was throwing down. I was way into her shit.

TransMonk Jun 30 2011 11:16 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

It was cool that she hung out when it was obvous that she was the only one who didn't know who anyone esle was.

A Boy Named Seo Jun 30 2011 11:23 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

Was that irish in there last night on his chrome book? who else is on there from here? Willets, Monk, Edgy, Mole, JCL?? WHO R U ON TT.FM??

metirish Jun 30 2011 11:24 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

Yeah that was me, MC TwinGuitarAttack......who were you Seo, and Jessica was a random person?

Thumbs up from NPR's All Songs Considered.

A Boy Named Seo Jun 30 2011 01:10 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

Read a thing on Pitchfork that said TT.FM's had a handful of temporary shutdowns already, and has had to block access to users outside the US. Worried.

Willets Point Jun 30 2011 05:43 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

Apparently you cannot listen to the music if you're in the room by yourself. :(

Edgy DC Jun 30 2011 08:06 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

That would be the free music on demand service that would get the industry to (rightfully) bring the hammer down.

TheOldMole Jul 01 2011 12:12 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

Doesn't work very well on my iPad. Works fine on laptop, but laptop speakers are shit.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 03 2011 09:33 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

Late nite jam... NOW!!!!

TheOldMole Jul 05 2011 04:14 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

Anyone using the CP room anymore? No one ever in there when I check in.

Edgy DC Jul 05 2011 07:06 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

My rule is to check in a few minutes after every Mets win and throw down a 50 megaton mix of satellite fritzing power pop. If I need to spin at any other time I just cruise random rooms. If any DJ you've become a fan of starts spinning anywhere, you'll get an e-mail to come to that room and listen to him or her.

Ashie62 Jul 06 2011 08:11 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

That gives me the db's.

Willets Point Jul 06 2011 11:06 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

How does the "Invite DJ" thing work? Could we use it to tell Old Mole to come on over or is it just to recruit new DJ's for turntable?

Edgy DC Jul 06 2011 12:13 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

I think it's to recruit newbies. When you "fan" somebody, you get an e-mail whenever he or she starts spinning.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 06 2011 12:19 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

Or better yet, disable email notifications and go to the "lobby" -- rooms where your fave DJ's are working will be listed at the top.

Willets Point Jul 06 2011 07:02 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

I'm totally addicted to this now.

seawolf17 Jul 06 2011 07:18 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

Maybe you should cut it out with the yacht rock and you'd get more people listening, though.

Edgy DC Jul 06 2011 10:15 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

Oh, man, we were spinning some acoustic rock this afternoon. Seventies-concentrated. Brilliant stuff. (Until Willets plugged in with Cream and dissed "Bandala.")

Willets Point Jul 06 2011 10:31 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

I did not diss, just said "The Partridge Family" was before my time. And you were boppin' your head to "Anyone For Tennis," admit it!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 06 2011 10:31 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

I find my queue runs dry faster in that genre than in others, but I appreciate the elasticity. We need a FT popwerpop room

There.

Started a new room called ROOTS - the real thing. Stop by.

TheOldMole Jul 07 2011 08:49 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

Trying to figure if there's any way I can change my DJ name. OK, have now changed it. I am now my alter ego, Professor Blues. But I don't know that anyone's going to find my room, because even though I'm in there playing music, myroom isn't listed on the master room list.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 07 2011 10:13 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

Midday '80s party in the cranepool, with DJ Car-azz-co.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 07 2011 10:16 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

Saw ya there spinning Concrete Blonde but gotta be on the road, catch up later.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 07 2011 10:29 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

Picking things up a bit, tempo-wise, with The Sugarcubes and M/A/R/R/S. Dance! Dance!

Anyone want to join me in the cranepool room for an all-star jam?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 12 2011 06:38 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

I'll be up for it around 11ish. I'm actually gonna try running in this stuff first.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 12 2011 09:17 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

We're jammin, come on in.

Edgy DC Jul 13 2011 06:28 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

My internet connection is dead at home. Wanted to jam last night. Trading Springsteen covers yesterday morning. Good stuff.

Willets Point Jul 22 2011 01:31 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

Song that is strange to bop your head to: "Strange Fruit" by Nina Simone. Anyone know if there's a way to bookmark favorite rooms? Also, how do I find out who all these people who fanned me are?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 22 2011 01:59 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

I think if you turned off your email notifications it's a complete mystery. There seems to be no way to track rooms, or delete those you create, "unfan" yourself or aother, etc. They do note its still in beta but lots of little things like that to fix. For now, I find rooms by the people I fanned, and do text search sometimes.

TheOldMole Jul 25 2011 10:06 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

Been hanging out in a room called J MUS, which is wildly eclectic.

Willets Point Jul 25 2011 10:27 AM Re: CPF Turntable!

I really like this room: Jazz RnB Funk You Know The Good Stuff. There's a good community there and they spin some great music. They even have a Facebook Group.

Edgy DC Jul 28 2011 06:37 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

10 PM tonight at turntable.fm/music_appreciation_society they're spinning the songs with their favorite guitar solos --- limit six minutes per track. I'm going with... well, you'll have to come visit and find out.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 15 2011 12:45 PM Re: CPF Turntable!

I cut back. But was there this morning playing Beatles covers. Besides it being very buggy, a lot of people there who don't much like music.
