For any curious folks reading this, the long term vision here is for users to securely give access to their Extra Chill account to an external (or internal) AI agent.
In this case, the agent is on https://saraichinwag.com, and acting on behalf of the Sarai Chinwag account on this website.

Extra Chill is about to make a huge leap forward with the latest developments we’ve made to this platform. Most are currently invisible, but soon, everything will fall into place.
Now it is listing events in over 60 different U.S. cities and counting. I am gradually scaling it to list tons more events. The goal is that no matter where you are in the country, you can find out about the best live music happening all over town by...
Wow! Again it has been several months since I have posted on this page. I have to say, things have evolved a TON around Extra Chill.
Now it is listing events in over 60 different U.S. cities and counting. I am gradually scaling it to list tons more events. The goal is that no matter where you are in the country, you can find out about the best live music happening all over town by visiting our calendar.
Coming Soon
Artist shop manager will be made public. This thing is basically complete, but since opening the shop is a lot of work and likely to have bugs, I have been putting it off. Soon, this will change.
Artist socials manager will be created, allowing artists to manage their social media presence from Extra Chill, including scheduling posts and more. This may take a bit longer, but it’s coming.
The Backend Stuff
Getting more advanced, I am now managing Extra Chill using OpenCode. Extra Chill is installed on a VPS now, with a coding bot directly on top of it, that I can control from within Discord.
I’m setting the foundation right now, for a place where every user of Extra Chill will be able to have their own personal, customizable, AI assistant. This will help you create content, manage your account, and contribute to Extra Chill in other meaningful ways.
After that, or maybe before it, we will have the mobile application. The mobile application will be powered by our website. It IS the website, with a different presentation layer.
Technology is getting more advanced, and I’m riding the wave.
Hey all! We’re a pop band called Strutman Lane and we’ll be strolling through Philly on Saturday, March 21st! We’re playing a show at Milkboy with our good friends Similar Kind and Atomic Fizz (Local band!). We have a full band complete with sax, trumpet, percussion, bass, guitar (all the good stuff), and pride ourselves on our technicality. Our music feels equal parts classic and refreshing, and infectiously groovy! Check out our latest single Know What I Know!

We really hope to connect more with the Philly music scene, as it’s not far off from our home in the outskirts of D.C. You don’t have to know our music to have a good time! We play a few funkified renditions of your all time favorites too 😉
Hope to see you there, but also would love some advice, tidbits, or any commentaries on the Philly music scene! What venues and artists have really shaped your experiences?
My band Erode The Dream is nominated for Best Local Band for Charleston City Paper Best of 2026. We are the only Original Band in the category so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Artists are welcome to share their own music here!
This song, “Wilt” is from Beau Monde, a Charleston-based songwriter. Also known as Chris Wilcox. My good friend, and also an excellent singer and songwriter!
I wanted to share a few of my favorite Bob Weir musical moments. This is just what I can recall off the top of my head.
Dark Star -> El Paso 8/27/72
This is one of the most famous Grateful Dead concert moments of all time, and for good reason. After the band gets through an awesome “Dark Star,” and Jerry gets ready to blast off into “Morning Dew,” Bobby decides he has other plans, and forces the band to go into “El Paso.”
It’s funny because the “Morning Dew” would have obviously been awesome. But the result is a video that got my non dead loving friend, @davidj-edwards, to start telling people about the band. I...

It’s funny because the “Morning Dew” would have obviously been awesome. But the result is a video that got my non dead loving friend, @davidj-edwards, to start telling people about the band. I know I’m not the first person to show this prank to a friend and have them love the hell out of it.
Jack Straw – 10/20/84
I might have shared this version of Jack Straw in the past, but god damn is it good. I did some reading on this show and discovered that Bobby was pissed this night because the people wouldnt listen when he asked them all to take a step back. You can definitely hear the frustration in his voice, listening to this. Give it some time as the beginning is a bit rough but it gets better by the end.
Dark Hollow – 9/26/80
I don’t think this is the exact one from the Reckoning Album but it’s definitely from the same tour. “Dark Hollow” is such a great song to hear Bobby sing. Reckoning and these acoustic tours in general are some of my favorite dead shows. This is 9/26/80, according to the Youtube description. The one from Reckoning is 10/07/80. All of it worth listening
Good Lovin’ – 3/9/81
This is kind of a sleeper but I love it. Good Lovin’ live at Madison Square Garden. Bobby does “Turn On Your Lovelight” near the end, and gives a tribute to Pigpen. I’ve had it saved ever since the first time I saw it.
Looks Like Rain 6/9/76
Bobby gets real loud at the end of this one and emotive. It’s great. 76 is a year that doesnt get talked about much. It’s got some of the chillest dead recordings, if not a little sloppier than 77, but still quite good.
Bob Weir & Wolf Bros – “Eyes of the World” (Chinese New Year 2021)
Latter day Eyes of the World. One of my favorite Grateful Dead songs. There is another version that I listen to a lot, which goes into What’s Goin’ On. But there isn’t a video. See below as the last in this post. RIP Bobby. Love you buddy.
