Radio station Whack-a-Mole

Disco(graphy) for the eyes. As the Angela Gunn USA Today blogpost that alerted me to this puts it, "This one shouldn't be nearly as addictive as I'm finding it -- yes.com, which lets you find out what's playing at thousands of radio stations around the country. You can see what's spun during the past 24 hours or check out a station's top 100 hits; there's also a song-ID option and the whole thing links into iTunes for your purchasing convenience. Honestly, though, it's the map on the front page that's got me mesmerized. All those songs playing here and there -- it's the radiocentric pleasure of a cross-country drive without the trouble and expense of getting behind the wheel. Click the link and stare along with me."

Holy cow -- I been hip-mo-tize.

Looks like Jack, Country, and Spanish language have taken completely over since I moved to Yurp.

My man Rod Smith is OTM: "The map is also a great imagination prod in that you can imagine something similar for an type of event or activity--copulation, say, or sneezing, or church attendence"

The found-poetry implications of this thing are staggering

Wow! I used to use Yes.com to see what had recently played on KMOJ, but then they were either unusable or down for months. I didn't think they'd come back like this.

Whoa, that is hypnotizing. Just need to make sure I do not keep clicking on identical format Clear Channel stations nation-wide.
