- Added NPR link for: Coal Miner's Daughter. Changed search URL
to one that seems to work better (eliminates false positives).
- Changed get_artist.php to treat "Subjects for Future Research" more
generally, as "Further Notes"; it has previously only been used for SFFR
from the CG '90s book, but can now be used for all of the book endmatter
lists, even "Meltdown."
- Collated and documented the 2007
Rhapsody CG Release, updating many CG entries. See file for details.
- Introduced a
script to find EPs in the CG database. This
has not been integrated into the CG page. It inspects
the "type" field in the "album" database table. The default type value is
"2" (for EP). One can test other values by explicitly specifying them by
adding
?t=N to the URI, where N
is the test value (1: reissue compilations, 3: 12-inch singles, 4: downloads,
6: download EPs).
- Created a "private corner" of the website for pieces written by
Georgia Christgau. As this is unauthorized and unpublicized, you'll
have to guess where it is.
- Initiated this Change Log.
- Didn't do: sort through all of the possible issues raised on the new
Newsday pieces, including didn't merge capsule reviews; update url table
and add appropriate alinks; get Forster interview from Christgau; get
answers to numerous issues raised by Rhapsody CG merge; other stuff I
can't even remember now.
