Title: Album Info...
Post by: Tom Johns on September 21, 2023, 08:27:28 AM
I have been adding album info for a while now. I want to have some good info for each album including anything that tells us what it's about, what went in to recording it, etc... I also try and include all who were involved in playing on the album. So, we have nearly 2,500 albums... I have around maybe 700 left to go. So, please check the albums out. If they do not have the info yet... don't worry, I will get it lol. Also, a lot of the albums have very little info. Anyway, I think this is going to keep me busy until the end of the year and then I hope to get the song info and lyrics added back and add more. I have a few other projects I want to do as well. Yeah... OCD being used here.

That's quite a feat to take on!

Much appreciated though, as I do take a look at the album info from time to time to gain some better insight into what helped create such amazing tracks.

Once again, Thanks Tom!
...And Happy Belated Birthday!

Tom,

I appreciate the time you take to put up the info on the bands, albums and tracks.  I read all of the info as it assists me in determining if I would like to add a physical copy of a disc to my collection.  I also like the stories of how a band got together and the challenges related to recording the disc.  I do like knowing who was in the band and left and joined another band.  I like to store that info in my mind with all sorts of other useless trivia. ;D

Thanks Cate. It's kinda fun. I love learning how some members of one band may have ties with other bands and so on. I am actually enjoying it.

I am just about down to under 250 albums left. Once I am finished, we should have over 2,500 albums with info. Been wanting to get this done for a long time and now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

It's also cool learning some stuff about the bands and albums when I am looking up and researching them. I have also reached out to some of the bands to get other releases I didn't know they had. Added a few even...

Under 150 albums to go. I should have it done hopefully by the end of this month!!! Some of the info has to really be researched to get. I can spend a lot of time on one album. Others are easy to find, especially the bigger albums. Then there are some that I cannot find any trace of anything.. Oh well, still having a good time doing this.

I am DONE!!!!
Well, I have added album info to over 2,500 album!
There are a few that I need more info on and there are some that have NO info, or I have found NO info for.
There a few singles that I have not added info for only because I am waiting for those bands to release new albums.
So.... check it out. Please let me know what you think and if anyone has any info to add, let me know.
Now time to sit and listen to some DEADcember Daze and think about my next project.

So, we have over 2,500 albums/EPs/Compilations/Singles now with album info. Some have a lot of information while others, very little.
There are a handful that are incomplete or there is just no info to be found.
Also, the Label info should all be done. There are a handful that ended up not having any albums listed under them. I decided to keep them in case.
You can also find albums by year, both original release date and reissue release dates.
Please look around and let me know if you find any discrepancies or errors. Also, if you have any additional information that you can verify, please let me know so I can add it.
This was a lot of fun but glad I'm done for the most part.
I plan on updating the Daily verses.
If you have a cool name instead of "Daily Verse" that would go along with the theme of the station, please let me know.
Then hoping to get all of the lyrics and song info done next year.
I know that we are a small station and this is all probably futile, but I truly enjoy it and want to make this the best station I can make it. I truly appreciate all of your love and support, you are all the DEADest!

Tom,

Being a fellow music nerd  :o I am sure you had fun doing this, even though it took a great deal of time.  Can't wait to start poking around.  Thanks again for all of your time and energy in keeping this station going and adding all of this information. 

David
