Get Psyched

Team

Description

You have a favorite band, but you haven't heard their new stuff. They're coming to down. You don't want to be the lame-o who is only singing along to the classics. Leveraging your last.fm account and songkick's set lists, you're given a refresher course for what tracks you should listen to / buy to get ready for the big show.

This was not at all hacked with performance in mind. It takes a long time to run.
