Fuzz Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Cross posted from http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/1970/ "I'm very happy to finally be able to share this project with you guys. For (at least) the past few weeks (months?) Matt and I have been working to completely re-build the 'Music' section. We wanted to have a place where everything related to Green Day's music was tied into one place, easy to view and consistent. Kind of a one-stop-shopping for everything related to their music. We've worked hard to put as much information as we could into it, and I'm pretty happy with the outcome. Check out the [turl=http://www.greendayauthority.com/music/]all'>http://www.greendayauthority.com/music/]all new Green Day Music section[/turl]. You'll also find that the new section is linked directly to "The Music" tab at the top of the site. This new section features two main areas, the album page that you see when you first get to the section, and the "song page". The album page lists all of Green Day's albums, short descriptions about them, links to purchase the albums, and you can click on a drop down list to view all the tracks. When you click on a song title, you get taken to a "song page" that has a description about the song at the top, chart history, embedded music video, lyrics, song meanings (which you can cycle through), list of other tracks on the album, and finally at the bottom, a place for you guys to leave your comments on individual songs. Comments are hidden by default, but you can click the Comment header to display them. So far my favorite section has to be the "Unreleased, Limited, and Rare Songs" which is listed at the bottom of the album list. This is a collection we made as an easy-to-find list of songs that haven't been released on albums. We went through and added a description about where each of the songs came from. Songs like Chocolate Rain, Dreamcatcher, The Saints Are Coming, and many more. You'll find links to download some of the songs (some for free if they're no longer available to purchase), videos for some, lyrics for most. Songs that have music video have a <img src="/images/videoIcon.png" align="absmiddle"> icon next to them, and songs that we can offer for download have a <img src="/images/downloadIcon.png" align="absmiddle"> icon next to them. Like I said, I'm very excited about this section finally being available for you guys to use. [turl=http://www.greendayauthority.com/music/]Check'>http://www.greendayauthority.com/music/]Check it out[/turl], and leave your feedback as a comment on this post. If you guys have any suggestions on how to make it better, let us know. There might be some bugs as people start playing around with stuff, if you come across anything that doesn't work, let us know as well." [turl=http://www.greendayauthority.com/music/][/turl]
bollard_11 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 I like it, its really efficient and so simple to use. Nice job Andres and Matt
Liam Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 After having a fully look through every thing, you guys have Dreamcatcher and Stay The Night for download. I thought we weren't allowed to?
ANJI Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Wow i really like this! Its more organised now. Great work
Fuzz Posted November 1, 2010 Author Posted November 1, 2010 After having a fully look through every thing, you guys have Dreamcatcher and Stay The Night for download. I thought we weren't allowed to? I actually got the songs from the forum...but we had made the rule not to allow them here. But, it's still questionable if we're allowed to have them or not. They're all over YouTube so I felt like I should include them. I'll find out later if I get a letter from Warner's legal team.
Marlon_GD Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Check it out, and leave your feedback as a comment on this post. Nice! I appreciate the hard work! It looks great! But I do have one question. Where's Olivia?

Its better to ask for forgiveness than permission!
HeißblütigerPinguin Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Awesome job! I really like it I have a little suggestion: Can you put the other songs Billie Joe and Elvis Costello did on there, too?
Stormy Haze Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 I really like it! Your hard work was worth it, nice job
Fuzz Posted November 1, 2010 Author Posted November 1, 2010 Nice! I appreciate the hard work! It looks great! But I do have one question. Where's Olivia? I just added it. It's surprising how many songs can fall through the crack. There are nearly 220 songs in the database now, so keeping up with all of them has been a project all it's own.
xjernpqvrnbfv Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 I love the new music section! Great job guys

There are nearly 220 songs in the database now, so keeping up with all of them has been a project all it's own. Yeah, I reckon. But, once it's there, you can easily extract and use the data from this database, no? I mean, it has been long and hard work, but now you have a list of *all* the songs that Green Day wrote/released. Information can be added easily, and you can use the song information somewhere else (you can now easily link the song you're talking about in a news post on GDA, for instance.) Thank you for adding Olivia so quickly! And no worries that some songs fell through the crack. That's why we're here, to back you up. After all, you did all the hard work!
GDJonny Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Thank you guys so much, it must have taken ages to write the descriptions Really well done its awesome!

Yep, that was the whole point of this project - to have all this data in one place that we could easily build on.
Marki. Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Oh wow, I absolutely love it Thanks for all your work guys =)
Maura99 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Great job! Must have been a lot of work. It looks really nice!
Fuzz Posted November 1, 2010 Author Posted November 1, 2010 Awesome job! I really like it I have a little suggestion: Can you put the other songs Billie Joe and Elvis Costello did on there, too? If I'm not mistaken, they covered some Green Day songs, right? If so, I don't think we're gonna be adding those. Alison was added because it was a song not covered anywhere else.
Hermione Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Awesome as fuck, as they say! The rare songs bit is brilliant. Good work
