I’d say feel free to dump food and art tips for fellow psychonauts doing day trips in the cities of this small tour.
I’m doing the 5 German dates as well this year.
Still have to figure out the train stuff, but looking forward to this trip and the shows.Kenneth Kapstad is leaving Spidergawd.
Could that indicate a return with MP?
I have zero knowledge about the back story and his relation with the band.There’s a new Samuel Jackson Five album coming soon, first single came out today. The whole Norwegian prog folk scene is basically involved in this one.

Only listened to it once, but already have a very good feeling about it. This band has a flawless, stellar discography.I don’t connect much with Kronstad23 (“Sommermørket” was alright, but nothing memorable) but haven’t listen to the new one yet. Thanks for the reminder, will give it a try this weekend.
“Malaria Dream” from Alvarius B. is on heavy rotation at home since a few weeks, most probably my favorite release this year.
Looks like Ståle Storløkken is a guest on the new Red Kite album coming out in a few days :

Awesome!
There’s probably more fine tuning or similar suggestions, I will spend more time on it but don’t want to be a bore either.More low priority suggestions :
• How about a dark mode button in the top right?
• The “Motorpsycho Database” in the header with the same fade in/out color than the logo?
• When selecting a release, the release page could have the main illustration with a fade in effect, just for the cool vibe?So cool, thanks for these updates.
Having the discography makes it even more of a proper database. Lyrics and album details will be even greater. Thanks for the hard work put into this.I noted that pages often takes quite a while to load (using Vivaldi or Chrome).
On the releases page, it says “Discography” (instead of “releases”?) and “Albums” stays on display whatever filter is selected in the drop down list. I think this “Albums” header is not necessary.
On this page for instance, the same information is written three times (“2024 | Norway | 2xVinyl, LP, Compilation, Limited Edition, Turquoise Marbled”)

I guess it’s a category thing that could maybe be simplified?When doing a “song search”, any wrong entry will indicate “No albums match these filters.” instead of something like “nothing found” for instance.
On the release pages, there’s a category “Tracklist” then the header “Songs on this release”, which is redundant. I would just keep “tracklist” or even nothing at all if possible.
Same for “Liner notes”, the following header “Notes” is probably redundant.I’m browsing on a 16 inch laptop, and the site looks great, but obviously made for bigger resolutions.
For instance the padding between the track number and the title is IMO unnecessary big, same with the line spacing between tracks.
Sorry for the annoying list of comments, I’m all about readability and ergonomics.
This is great as it is and these comments can be completely overlooked.What other information could also be interesting?
I remember the shows from the Black Hole Blank Canvas tour was with two other members that were there only for the specific first tour without permanent drummer. I remember reading somewhere that it was the 35007 drummer, but the dude didn’t look at all like the guy I saw a few years later drumming in Monomyth.
Since you’re on a hunt for lyrics, maybe available tabs and/or chords could be added slowly? (I don’t think there’s a lot of them available tho).
Nice to see the album artwork in the individual song pages.
Keep it up, it’s every day a bit more awesome.
Nice little gamification, especially that it isn’t too much in your face.
Also nice having an image preview of the community roadwork, it embellishes the homepage quite nicely.Since it’s the Motorpsycho database, why not have a database of songs (like here : https://gbvdb.com/tracks.asp) with lyrics as well? I guess that’s a lot of work and copy paste from available sources, but somehow what I would expect to find on a band database site.
Same with band members info, with dataviz like this
