We built a clubhouse for ears.
It began as a fight about a Tuesday playlist.
Six friends, one shared playlist, and a running disagreement about who actually had taste. The thread never resolved — it just got funnier and meaner. So we made it official: a weekly theme, one anonymous submission each, and a twenty-point budget to score the rest.
Suddenly the quiet ones were winning. The loud ones were sweating. People started researching. The group chat went from a place you muted to a place you checked first.
That’s the whole idea. Spinballot is a record-store ritual you run with your people — paper ballots, vinyl sleeves, a leaderboard that remembers everything. We just gave it buttons.
Three rules we press into every record.
Nobody gets better in a vacuum. A league is a standing invitation to put your ears on the line every week and answer for them.
Theme drops Monday, ballots lock Sunday, reveal lands like a needle on wax. Same beat, every week. The calendar does the work.
Submit blind, score blind, reveal loud. No follower counts, no clout — just whether the track moved the room.
