After a recent article was published about Faux Faux Fest '24, the better Ugh God drummer reminded me of a long-forgotten live set that they and The Beautiful Traps performed back in 2008. I made a split release of it:

• Live @ WPRB by Ugh God & The Beautiful Traps

Also, let's all take a moment to finally welcome Ugh God into the fold. Better late than never!

Assisted Living also played Faux Faux Fest '24. I added their track.

We suffered a slight regression where splits are split up by artist. This means that you can't currently listen to a split in its entirety from any page. As it turns out, showcasing more than one artist on a single album is a hard problem to solve. The way I solved it last week *technically* worked, but the way I handled it was gross. I'll keep noodling on it.

But more good news, we have new releases! Specifically, "The Best Of The First Four Acts of Faux Fest" and "Faux Faux Fest '24". The first was recorded forever ago but was never released. The second was recorded on my 40th birthday.

• The Best Of The First Four Acts of Faux Fest features Captain Werewolf, A Three Ring Circus (for Autistic Children), Lee, J. Won, and Happybear Kaboom.
• Faux Faux Fest '24 features Dust From 1000 Years, Bad History Month, Luna Honey, Idiot Mambo, Drums Like Machine Guns, and Nyxy Nix.

I also made sure that artists & albums were sorted alphabetically and added a little search bar for the artists page.

Okay, this is actually exciting: I added six split releases that have been sitting around for far too long. This means that we welcome a few "new" "artists" into the fold, namely J. Mono & Miles Rozatti. Welcome. I'm sure you're SO happy to be here. We also welcome back Happybear Kaboom, which will likely be taken down soon, so listen while you can. Here's the list:

• Bornpilot / Welcome Wizard
• Captain Werewolf / Miles Rozatti
• Happybear Kaboom / Father Sleep
• The Cold Lamper / J. Mono
• The Night Owl / Welcome Wizard
• The Riffingtons / Eat

I added Aunt Vivian's Revengence. This was the first recording ever made by the Chamomile boys, back when they didn't know how to play their instruments and they spent all their time getting high and listening to Pink Floyd and Yes. The name is inspired by Superbad.com. It is an objectively terrible album, but one that hasn't been heard by very many people. Now it's here for no additional people to listen to. Oh, and I updated dark mode to be less suck. You're welcome.

I added basic SEO. Pretty boring, tbh. It'll get good soon.

I've relaunched the site. Don't ask me why.
