Still waiting to see whether Turntable.fm has staying power before joining up? Don’t want to waste time starting a theme room that only plays artists with surf in their name (Nada Surf, Butthole Surfers, Pat Surface) if it isn’t going to be around for a while? It’s time to stop holding out, because Kanye West and Lady Gaga have now jumped onboard. Not with usernames and passwords, but with very large checks. According to Business Insider, Gaga and Kanye were both a part of a recent round of funding in which the site raised $7.5 milion. Great news for Turntable, just as long as this Lady Gaga–Kanye collaboration doesn’t end up like the last one. [Business Insider]
