The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A TV show that gives unsigned bands national exposure and a chance at a record deal. Viewers vote online for their favorite acts, and the show features both established and rising artists performing live.

What happens
Farmclub.com is an American television show that aired on USA Network. It was broadcast from January 31, 2000, to June 15, 2001. The show's content featured "it" musical artists of the moment and promoted unsigned bands through national exposure and website interaction, with such featured moments as the return of N.W.A., in which Snoop Dogg substituted for the late Eazy-E. Farmclub.com signed artists to real record deals and put their albums out through partnerships with Interscope, Def Jam, Universal, and other labels. The unsigned artists were selected from viewer votes from their website of the same name. Hosted by model/actress and former Miss USA 1996 Ali Landry and former MTV VJ Matt Pinfield, the show's label signed artists such as British DJ Sonique, and rock bands Dynamite Hack and Sev. The exposure also helped other bands obtain mass audience appeal leading to subsequent record deals such as Dog Fashion Disco and heavy metal band Chimaira. Farmclub.com had a short lived partnership with Extreme Championship Wrestling in late 2000. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
