Domino’s New Website

Domino Records has a new website. I used to comb through it alot for business reasons, but now it feels like a genuine hang-out… a place to park yourself and wander through videos, blogs, new artists, etc.

New functions include the “recent albums” and “recent singles” section. Domino hand-picks some top-of-mind singles for you to peruse. It has that sensibility of walking through a record store by throwing lots of visuals in front of you (in an orderly fashion). The only reason I ever entered a Virgin Megastore anyway was to walk down the hall of “listening stations” and get lost in the headphones. After scanning some tracks and vibing on record art, I’d choose which artist would walk home with me. This site offers the same experience, except in the comfort of your home.

There’s a video player too (that lets you grab HTML code and embed it on your own blog, MySpace, Facebook, whatever). If you choose to log in, the site allows you to assemble playlists. There’s also updated tour dates for the bands in their stable. It’s a good concert listing to follow.

Below is an example of a Domino embedded video. Check out the song too (from The Kills new record). HIT “PLAY” BELOW!
