Embarrassing Dad at Electronic Music Festival
Dave Fuller 

So here’s some news. We just launched Awl Music for iPad! Go check it out. It shows all the music videos you see here on Tumblr (well, the ones YouTube doesn’t block, at least) as if you’re watching them on TV. In fact, you can watch Awl Music on television, like any other channel, if you also have an Apple TV! That’s how we set it up. Airplay makes it happen. We miss the good ol’ days of music television. We’re bringing it back.

Awl Music for iPad is available now in the App Store, and it’s FREE.

The whole movement to push video and streaming applications to feel ‘more like tv’ is something I’m a huge fan of — something I first saw implemented by vhx.tv and I still love their design. The problem with the service was that it was kind of impossible to figure out what to do with it…. it looked cool but felt like a lot of work to decide what you wanted to watch and discover new things. With a focus on hosted programming choices and editorial oversite within a limited genre, I’m hopeful this could turn out really cool in the long run.

That’s what we’re going for.
