this was a weekend project - trying to keep it simple but any feedback is appreciated.

It would be neat if there were a way to save songs for later consumption. As a spotify user, I would love to be able to "star" it so it saves to my account, but I'm not sure if that is possible on the web

On what basis is something "awesome"? Are the tracks handpicked? If not, what is the overall method? Why is there no attribution if the tracks are clearly from websites that have recommended the music?

this isn't the hype machine - its just a very simple way to enjoy some new music with no bells and whistles or distractions.

Good work mate. Nice and simple.

One suggestion is to make it easier to look up the artists/songs that you enjoy. I find it hard to select the text of the artist/song because the anchor tag fills the entire width of the screen. Perhaps a nice way to approach it might be a "Info" link somewhere, maybe just when the song is playing, which just sends the query to Google or something.

Later on, you could hook it up to some other sort of service which provides better info.

Keep up the good work.

just might do it - thanks for the suggestion!
