Jekyll is awsome! :) It's written in ruby and it dynamically outputts a rendered static html site, and it doesn't require a database software. http://jekyllrb.com/ It is supposed to be easy to write plugins for it, but i don't about that so much. I'm sort of dreaminf of a plugin that would take a directory with ogg's and outpus a page for eachfile including anindex of all, using the ID tags for cover art, comments and lyrics for text content etcetera... but i guess i have to learn that language first, or hope for some of you guys to come up with it :D I had a chat with Zirafa from puushtape, and i think there is some plan of doing something similar. How i don't know. But i really like pushtape. If i had to use PHP and databses again i would go for that. Hope that helps! *set PS. Here are some example of what i've done with jekyll for music related purposes: http://basspistol.com http://sakrecoer.com

Thank you for the compliment. I guess the reason i enjoy jekyll so much is because my ignorant savant knowledge is limited to CSS, html and the ability to cut, paste and customize javascript... Writing a plug-in to drupal is at a much higher syntax level. Making it difficult for someone without php skills to achieve anything wihtout having access to a readymade system and graphic lay-out. In jekyll, i just add the script file in the html header of my template and incorporate it as i please with html/css. To me, this means one layer of abstraction less.

The trick in our case would be to get something to extract the id tag data and inject in the template. Now i don't know to what extend, but i guess it would be possible to build upon such a gallery plug-in.

PHP is nice, but there are so many security things to keep control over. I once built this drupal site for a record label. Then i went on a holiday, missed some crucial security update. Next thing we know, we were owned by a malicious phishing robot targeting visa, and all the search engines and browsers were warning everybody about that labels URL... devastating to be honest. Another aspect for a less savant musician is the backup thing. If you suddenly decide you want to change your publishing system, you got to learn how to extract your posts from the DB. Jekyll's db is a simple folder with a text file for each post. Obviously, the advantage of drupal is that you don't need an sftp client or know scp. But there are solutions like hosting your site on github and using http://prose.io/ .

I have only seen him live a handful of times in my life but definitely an artist I have had a lot of respect for, possibly for longer than I've known about many forms of electronic music (or at least the same bearing in mind my mid-30's age) and too see this brings a deep smile to my face :) Regards and thanks, Dale.

But this is how i implemented it: Albums index: https://basspistol.com/discography/ Track index of Album: https://basspistol.com/albums/tfb-otk/ Clicking on a track on that page will lead you to a track page where the music starts on page load. When the track is finished, it loads next song. I used a pretty conservative layout (i think) that works on both mobile and desktop, i'm hoping to find time to make it funkier in a near future.
