Multimedia Music Slideshows

I have this idea for a site that combines concert photos from Flickr with Seeqpod MP3 search to create multimedia music slideshows for a particular band or concert event.  This is a crude, mini example of what the experience would be like using Radiohead as an example.  The real site wouldn’t be a tiny widget like this… it’s just the easiest way I could communicate the concept.  Click play on the music player at the top and then click play on the Flickr slideshow below the music player.  For optimal viewing, hit the full-screen button in the bottom right corner of the Flickr player.

I’m thinking about trying to make a site that has a page like this for any band and / or live music event that was captured on Flickr.  People could listen to a band they like while watching a large slideshow of interesting concert photos from other fans.  The data is there… it’s just a matter of mashing it all up.  What do you think about the general concept?  Any developers what to help make it?

This set is a beautiful example of Flickr’s new & improved slideshow feature, which now supports video in addition to photos.  After hitting play, click the full-screen icon in the bottom right corner of the player.  Then sit back and watch this artist’s collection of amazing work scroll by.  I wish I had one of those giant plasma TVs to watch this on.

Outside Lands Festival: Friday Line-up

I’m headed to the Outside Lands fest this afternoon to see Beck, Radiohead, and a bunch of other great music.  So, instead of my usual Friday cover, I’m posting this playlist of artists performing today.  The track selection comes from the Stranger Days music blog, which has a write-up and the MP3’s.

So psyched to be going to a big music festival right in my backyard here in San Francisco!
