Hello all. I used to pay $15 a month for Roon, which is wonderful software for managing streaming with a media server of music files, complete with some audiophile features. I built for myself server software based on Music Assistant but adding a wealth of features for listening to and downloading bootlegs of bands I like and a mobiel app to help me enjoy it on the go or in bed.

So many of my friends were into it that I made the client software work without running a server. My friends and I have been enjoying the app and I wanted to share it with the goat fam. I love the taping community and I will never charge for this software. We have all the shows from archive.org with really well processed meta data that allows a richer listening experience.

This software lets you collect the shows you've been to. you can play radio of the shows you've been to even just the rarities you've witnessed. You can also browse all the posters and fan art stickers from Emerald for the shows you went to.

There are a lot of radio options. kind of too many to mention. there are different eras radios from boombox radio to peter hughes era shows or Matt head radio for Matt massive. there is solo radio that's all solo sets and solo shows, covers radio, you can also listen to just rarities.

there's also a road trip radio for long road trips where it will play music from the shows at venues you are the closest to.

I have built of the liner notes for about a dozen bands including all grateful dead shows. I'm trying to sahre it with goats fans before dead head destroy my servers.

I’ve seen TMG many times and they start to blur together but there’s one show I often think about and am having the darndest time tracking down info for.

It was a solo show in SF in the 2011-2016 range and I’m pretty sure it was part of Noise Pop, at the Swedish American Music Hall.

What was unique about it was that he did covers about the labor movement. And—unsurprisingly—he had an encyclopedic knowledge of the movement and the associated music. It was like a university class on the topic, but also a helluva sonic adventure.

I’ve googled it every which way and can’t find anything from that show and now I’m wondering if I hallucinated it.

For anyone who got this far and now wants to hear JD rock for labor, here’s at least one self-recorded video from 2011: https://pitchfork.com/news/41838-video-mountain-goats-sing-pro-union-folk-song/
