electric relaxation

Two ideas for applications that I think I would find useful, though I’ll probably be too lazy to ever write them:

1. Automatically guided media purchases
   The basic idea would be to have a service which automatically spends money out of a dedicated/auto-debited account with a preset limit. The funds are spent on a selection of movies, music, TV shows etc. You could control the ratio of how you spend your dollars and/or how you want your content composed; e.g. $20/mth on stuff my friends liked, $20/mth on what Pitchfork thinks is hot shit, and $20/mth on Amazon recommendations. This makes the most sense to me when combined with actual ownership a la iTunes, but I suppose the selection is really the point so it could be just as useful as a set of filters on top of say Rhapsody. Actually, I think you could do this just for Kindle books, like guided Kindle purchases. I wonder if Amazon has thought of this already.
   
2. Automatic lyric quoting via Last.fm/Scrobbling + some lyrics service
   I don’t know if there are any good free lyrics services out there; I assume there’s some decent freetard one. So the idea here would be to just have a Facebook app that automatically updates your status with quotes from songs you’re listening to in realtime. Basically automating what I do with my Facebook status by hand. Yes, I am that lazy.
