Listen to all the strange music on the internet, randomly

Links and other hanky panky that doesn't have to do with anything in particular.

You can ask it to give you only terrible music, if you like.
Sounds like the must have some Song Fight! song in there, indeed. ;)

Hm, so, it just picks random SoundCloud tracks, and lets you rate them? It's practically just Somesongs. I could have built this sh#$!!

Lame, they're not filtering out talk/podcasts/etc. :/

That just adds to the fun! Maybe you'll get a discussion about something interesting or wacky or so-bad-it's-good. Although the odds of it being boring are pretty high.

For something a bit different but also SoundCloud-driven, check out http://forever.fm/ - I listen to it when I want random mixes of stuff and Pandora is pissing me off (sorry, Lunkhead).

Anyway it does a great job of beatmatching and generally picks out decent songs although sometimes it gets into a gangsta rap groove.

I couldn't figure out how to listen only terrible music! I mean, it's mostly terrible anyway, but it'd be fun to get to the bottom. Also, it's interesting what a huge percentage of the recordings are electronic music/rap.

Makes sense though. Real instruments not required. Not a diss on those genres, just an observation.
