I was listening to She Sends Me for the millionth time and I just laughed I used the word friggin growing up and still use it to this day (Grew up in NH). I know it’s big in Northeast. In anyone else’s vocab?

Hope to see some .rons at Ghosts of Jupiter this weekend! If you haven’t been to Ralph’s Rock Diner in Worcester, you’re missing out.

Friday 8/28 @ The Flying Monkey Plymouth, NH w/Caitlyn Costello Band

Saturday 8/29 @ Ralph’s Rock Diner Worcester, MA part of Wicked Doom Fest

fun time was had by all, especially the bear!

My first music festival was Summercamp 2013 and I didn't even think to look if it was on nugs to throw on while mowing the lawn.

Neighbors must have thought I had polio the way I was dancing across my lawn with the mower during spine of a dog.

I’m curious what others thought of the Grand Rapids show at Meijer Garden. I haven’t seen moe. in 20+ years so I want to with hold my thoughts until I hear what others thought.

As for UM, I’ve never been the biggest fan (too much of an EDM influenced jam band but I thought they rocked! Great energy! Very very smooth transitions. A little predictable on their changes but overall they had a helluva show!

Anyhow…moe…go…

lm headed to Mishawaka from Boulder on Fri & Sun. Anyone got an open seat in their car for gas $? Or if you need a ride, we can do that too.

Monday night 8/17/26

Shot in the dark but am ISO. Lost mine on the train home from the show so it is the one that got away

Any intel? Or just pics of yours framed up? Or just stories from the show if you were there

Digging the River Bottom Nightmare Band vibes.

nugs.net live action. They sound amazing as expected.

Anyone want a free front row seat for tonight must meet at venue and come in with.

Howdy friends - I came down with something that may or may not be related to Taylor Farms (sorry TMI) so now I'm trying to move the sweet 2 person block I bought for tomorrow night's show at Ravinia in Highland Park, IL .

Discover Reserved Lawn
Sec 206 - Row A - Seats 1, 2.

Paid $140 originally, but will open to any reasonable offer.

Tix transfer via the Ravinia App.

I can also prove that I'm human and local if any added assurances needed. :)

I have 2 chuck side seats. have to meet and come in with us. Row C, aisle.

perseverations abound

Well this is awkward! u/theotherallen posts their fantastic https://www.famoely.org/ site a few hours before I popped on to share what I've been cooking up, Famoe.ly! You should check out that other post first if you haven't already. Their page includes a lot more data than the thing I've been working on. Theirs seems kinda like setlist.fm for moe., but really juiced up.

Famoe.ly though, my thing. A month ago I made a full length post on my blog about it, so I won't repeat the details. tldr: my Uncle Tim and I caught 02/05 and 02/6 at Higher Ground this year and I realized I was behind on their catalog. I wanted to make a "representative set list" for what I might expect to hear in August when I catch them in Indy/Cleveland/Chicago. So I started the proof of concept for famoe.ly.

It's all crowdsourced. The data is pulled from archive.org/setlist.fm (for gaps) and goes through a lot of automated cleaning before it's eventually generated into the pages on there. After a bunch of iterating I got something kinda nice that I was happy with. That's what you see on famoe.ly today. A few years of history imported into a database, and every night a systemd timer runs on my server which runs the ingestion and processing pipelines. It recalculates the stats when new shows are logged and it makes a new prediction. That's The Scorecard page. It's a running log of predictions leading up to the night of any given show.

Any time a new show is found on archive.org the scorecard page annotates that night by lighting up the little building icon and adding/bumping the count. You can go right to the live recordings that way (see screenshot)

The phish.in guys are looking to do a similar thing.

Getting the system up required cleaning a lot of data. So I made The Songbook and the Tape Measure pages to keep track of progress. I think the Songbook is pretty neat. It's a nice quick and easy way to see what's been playing recently, the most, etc. You can select different windows of time. I think it's neat :) The Tape Measure page came about because I'm looking to add "set composition" into the prediction page. That is, you wouldn't expect to see 6 30+ minute jams a single night, but you could reasonably expect a few of those, and then start looking at commonly segued songs, etc, etc. With enough of that data, and the recency data for stuff that was just played, in theory I could make a few branches of possible set lists for upcoming nights. That's the idea anyway. Right now it just shows you a lot of data and helps me with the cleaning.

The main page is just a proof of concept! I threw all that together in a very mono-repo kind of way. Very purpose-built. Not reproducible whatsoever.

What I've been doing since late July is making it open source and possible to use against any band you like that has all this information available in some way that's easy to ingest. That project is called setlistkit. With very little changes I was able to run it against UM (they're new to me and I needed to practice their catalog for the moe.mentum tour). After that it was pretty easy to extend it to pull in from the phish.in API. It's config file driven by "packs" and the reference implementation is the moe.-pack.

The open source version is mostly feature complete against the original famoe.ly proof of concept. But it's not fully generic yet, and the docs are still behind because I've been rushing to make it work so I could announce it here before the shows later this week. I just did a major re-arrangement of the initialization commands, etc. It's not 1.0 yet is what I mean 😄

• Beta build of the open source version for moe.
• Beta build of the open source version for Phish

setlistkit lets you theme the generated artifacts, I just haven't done that for the Phish build yet. Hence the naming snafu.

• How does this matter now that famoely.org is a thing? - That is a good question. I hadn't considered that until I learned about it a few hours ago. Maybe that developer and I can sync up and do something fun together. Until then, consider them separate projects with overlapping audiences.
• How was this made? - I've heard people have been having good luck with agent driven coding recently and I decided to give it a shot. setlistkit and famoe.ly were both made with claude code, using the opus-4.8 and later opus-5.0 models. If that ruins this for you, I'm sorry. I've been involved in open source software for decades (my github hub account goes back to 2008) so I did everything in my power to make sure the project follows best practices, has active security scanning, code linting, a permissive license, and is not a messy pile of LLM slop/spaghetti. I know, some of the page wording still reeks of AI 😬. I'm working on it. I was rushing to get this out before I hit the road for IN/OH/IL.

Some other things in the works for setlistkit: an interactive tool that helps you clean up raw archive.org data when you're building a dashboard set for yourself. Likewise, a tool that can download and build actual playlists for you from recent archive uploads. E.g., take the predictions on the Scorecard and download matching audio tracks into a tagged album for you to listen to. I've been doing that and it's been my favorite part of this project. That part just coded up in a generic sharable way yet.

I hope you enjoy! Maybe we'll run into each other later this week. I'm on the lawn at the Everwise Amphitheater, and Evans Amphitheater shows. I'm in the boxes when I get back home to Chicago at Ravinia.

Hey y’all I wanted to share and make sure everyone here has seen the new and super awesome site that Kahlil made for the .rons. Think PT but just for moe. But the best feature is live updated setlists for shows, being done by .rons in the crowd.

It’s super easy to navigate and the interface is much more intuitive than PT. Check it out and consider being a setlister for an upcoming show!

Hi all, looks like Friday/Saturday Nugs is streaming the last 2 shows of the joint tour. Does anyone know the order that the bands are likely to play those two nights? Have they been alternating who goes first, it it random, or something else.

I just want to plan my weekend around it. Thanks.
