Wow… Goodbye "Just Announced" thread.
reminds me of the daily roundup on brooklynvegan.
Reminded me of BV, too.
Hope this doesn't replace the JA thread. Looks like it would be easy to overlook new stuff on there.

Nice!!! Thanks for the link…
Thought that site was common knowledge. They really do a great job. Even get the barely publicized house shows.

Then again you can just go here for most house shows. They don't get them all, though.
Hard to weed through all the info.. Great site for a "whose playing this weekend" though.. Thanks!
As far as I can tell there's no RSS feed for new show additions?

Nah..JA still provides on sale links and announcements…(amidst the chat;)) I've use the list before, pretty good, yet would like to see openers added here and there.

Hey all -
yeah, I know Dan from ShowlistAustin from when I lived in Austin, and I talked to him about ShowlistDC before I set it up (the way we've coded our sites is completely different from each other, too, interestingly enough).
Anyway - no, there's no RSS feed for what shows have changed, because I power the site with an offline database and refresh the files every night. I'm thinking about adding a page for "shows that are new or changed over the past 7 days", but given that I'm adding/changing/etc. over 100 shows a day, that list is still pretty long. It's certainly a subset of the main concert listing page (which has ~1,800 shows), but it's a very large subset nonetheless.
Anyway, if you've got any other idea/suggestions, feel free to let me know.
bookmarked!
How about an option to view the whole list by order added/modified? Even if the updates come in big nightly chunks, it would make it easy to scan the new adds by day.

hmm, that's an interesting idea! Will play around with that; thanks.

Frankly, an RSS feed is strongly needed. If you can't do it with your current database, I suggest you recreate your database with a timestamp column so that you can generate RSS. Please!

Fair. Brainstorming, though: if I added a page/history of "recent updates", with a rolling history, couldn't you follow that page with RSSpect or another automatic site?
I use Page2RSS for that sort of thing, but it's kind of clunky. It works well for some sites and not so well for others. Native RSS is always preferable. But, yeah, that's something I'd end up doing if you don't add a RSS feed.
