Need some validation that my, most awesome, project is headed in the right direction, or else guidance on what should be done differently. In return, I can provide the same.
Where can I find this? Or is there no value in an unfinished project?
I'd say "post it here," but you should think about who (and what) you're aiming for.
Hackers tend to focus on things like algorithms and blocks of text and whether you used a JPEG when you should have used a PNG.
If you're aiming for the mass market, your friends may provide more helpful feedback. They can point out obvious usability problems in seconds... just sit them down in front of your site and have them talk you through it.

Attack of the bike shed!:-)
Well, it is certainly unfinished, and I'd probably be eaten alive by the perfectionists if I launched today. But I think I've put enough together that people can either get excited about the project or dismiss it as having no potential.

Sure, song/playlist suggestion and commentary. Been trying to create something that I, personally, would like to see exist. Have devoted most of my free time since the end of last year.
