Perhaps someone will come out with a pianobar* equivalent for this.

Wouldn't radio streams fill that gap, then?

Turntable's design sense was its differentiator, and many of my friends were completely charmed by the avatars when they first tried the service.

If you actually do want the functionality of Turntable without the avatars, http://listeningroom.net/ came out awhile before Turntable, but never seemed to pick up.

in that case, you might like outloud.fm. the design is barebones and utilitarian, both twitter and facebook logins are supported, and you can also play tracks from soundcloud. full disclosure: i built it.

Looks pretty spiffy. Is there any list of public rooms somewhere? One of the things I liked about turntable was that I could pick through a wide selection and gate crash the ones that sounded interesting.

Hmm... kinda like shoutcast? :D
