Our friend Ian just launched an app called Mote.io that allows you to navigate sites with your phone. Naturally, one of the first sites he built support for was the Hype Machine.
Mote.io gives you the ability to play, pause, favorite, skip and return to previous tracks. You can also search and click around the site. The current playing track shows up on your phone, and you can share it on Facebook or Twitter.
Station to Station, a public art project by Doug Aitken made possible with support from Levi’s, is a train traveling across the United States, bringing music, art, and cultural happenings to ten cities along the way. From live performances by artists like Patti Smith, Dan Deacon, and Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, to talks from slow-food activist Alice Waters, Station to Station connects creative pioneers throughout the country.
We’re proud to join the trip with the Levi’s Blog Radio—a playlist of music being posted by blogs around the destination stations. Click the code of the station nearest you to hear what bloggers are writing about (here’s a list of station codes).
Tickets for some Station to Station stops are still available through the site.
