Been a minute, but I have been working on the code this weekend.
Header & footer updated to match main blog – I did this a while ago but forgot to post an update here. The now has a cohesive look across the blog and the forum.
Added Community Header to top of front page – this will welcome you when you show up at the site, including displaying your username if you are logged in.
Ad-free license – Added a product to the Merch Store that will remove ads from the entire website when purchased. That is pretty...

I have a few more ideas in the works that i am currently trying to implement. Including the ability for community members to upload events to our calendar.
Greetings y’all! I’m a songwriter and musician in Greenville South Carolina. I write songs and record them in my basement studio. Try to make interesting music and do it all myself. Excited to connect here! Jam some tunes.
I sent out a newsletter today with my SXSW 2025 reflections, including some thoughts on their announcement of cutting back music programming next year and how it reflects upon the music industry as a whole. I think it also aligns with a lot of the things I wrote here.
Die Spitz played a bunch of shows in Austin during SXSW, only a month after they sold out Mohawk.
Perhaps the most memorable was their set on the front porch of 13th Floor on Friday afternoon. They shut down the whole street with a huge crowd gathered out front in the 90 degree heat.

Wish i could have been there but I was at Radio East seeing Being Dead at the time (who are another great Austin band)
Getting close to the end of SXSW. It’s been quite the ride so far.
On Wednesday night was the big C3 Management showcase at Stubb’s, where I saw Band of Horses, Jack’s Mannequin, and Yoke Lore
the members of Secret Guest, who are touring with Band of Horses outside of SXSW, are homies from Charleston who crashed at my place. We had a great day walking around Austin catching live music at different venues in town
Thursday i took it easy and just went to the Being Dead show at Radio East....

Thursday i took it easy and just went to the Being Dead show at Radio East. They ruled, local band, super weird and cool. Also saw some of Wand’s set.
Yesterday was the BMI Brunch at the South Congress Hotel. I hung out with my friend Gab from BMI, Hunter Park of She Returns from War, and photographer Zachary Salas. There was free food and alcohol and a bunch of cool artists.
We hopped around a little on South Congress and then walked all the way to Antone’s for Jackie Venson’s set, a local austin blues artist.
Back down to South Congress for the Athens in Austin showcase. Went home, finally, after the Susto String Band set.
Good time overall. Now I am tired sitting in my room, considering going to “The Big One” at Radio East but also considering just not going and taking it easy. I’ve walked an average of 5 miles per day for this whole week. Starting on Thursday of last week. We’ll see what happens, the show goes late.
