As the guy who coined the term 'weblog', I wanna propose that this Flash app makes mp3-blogging practical for the first time. The basic features are identical to the archetypal weblog: you link your good finds in reverse order, and people who like your taste check in regularly to hear what you've found, checking them in order, skipping ones they already know, and when they hear something they want to investigate further, jumping to this page for a link.
Eventually, this sort of jukebox needs to be built into the browser toolbar, with the ability to load playlists from arbitrary URLs.
I'll try to implement an RSS feed sooner or later.
NEW: Faked rss feed via Wytheville Comm'ty College (or another via xmlhub)
I trust there'll be a million versions of this Flash app released this year, some of which will fit in a single wide line rather than a 280*280 lump.
Some other sites that use it: O'Poverty, Red Chuck, JustPlain, Tarrying, Jeffothy, Mamoute, No Rest, Wing Wing, Reeferman
Free Pandora stations: loopy, noisy, samba
Excellent WebJay playlists version with lots more tunes: A-sides, B-sides
To remind myself of things to search for I used my old musical autobiography. About half the things I looked for I couldn't find: Stewart/Gaskin, Fraser & DeBolt, early Mary Coughlan, Michael Hurley, Mystikal's Danger, Cyndi Lauper's Girls, Britney's first hit, TLC's No Scrubs.
They're pretending to yodel!
This is really him.
This is really him playing bongos.
My themesong.
Not all Hedningarna has these wonderful vocalists.
People hate her because it's too beautiful!?!
Weir sounds like he's hanging on by his fingernails.
Early Donovan has been overlooked-- it was dreamy poetic erotic.
This song is bland, just here to show her amazing voice.
There's a much better version of this available commercially.
Amazing unreleased juvenilia.
This is my nominee for most-impossible-to-resist-dancing-to song ever.
This version sounds feeble these days-- someone needs to pump the rage back in.
The primary goal of the jukebox is to introduce you to artists you might have missed. The secondary goal is to offer access to music you like but haven't heard for a while.
Questions to answer after you've sampled all you mean to sample:

I love this but it's too long.
This isn't as annoying to me as I would have thought, but I expect it is for others.
Evidently delayed
A boring song
404?
He sort of sounds like he's faking it here, going thru the motions halfheartedly.
