I agree, that looks very nice. I might be wrong here but I think the background is just the picture, although scaled and has got many filters on it.
Actually, you're right! It's the same picture, scaled down to around 500x500 and with a heavy gaussian blur applied to it. The trick is to have a subtle grain effect over it to eliminate gradient artifacts.

Rdio's app (rdio.com) also nails this.
Rdio does some fantastic design work. Just a shame their engineering is so bad that I can't even use the app.
In the past month or two, though, it's gotten damn responsive (for me at least). Give it another shot if you haven't used it recently.
Why not use Masonry or Isotope? http://masonry.desandro.com/ http://isotope.metafizzy.co/
Just to add some negativeness to the generaly positive comments here.
