live blog

For the ambitious blogger willing to try new formats, perhaps they will participate in a live blog, which is a post about an event that is continuously updated. For example, technology events or even Election Night in America.

There has been some controversy in the sports world about reporters live blogging events in-person. The NCAA, for example, has limits on live blogging in terms of how often one can update posts.

Since 2007 a lot of blogs and mainstream publications began using an applet called CoverItLive which allowed one or more bloggers to collaborate in a live blog. The software also has features that allow readers to provide feedback and participate in the live blog. Also, the blog automatically updates, so there's no need for that ornery "Refresh" button.

• Danzig

  
  Austin Sound — Authority: 503
  Formed over twenty years ago and having not played Austin in fifteen or so years, Danzig closed Fun Fun Fun Fest with a bang. The band that metalheads, punk rockers, and slightly ironic hipsters all love didn’t disappoint anyone who stood in the rain and mud all day long. Glenn Danzig’s voice - recognizable to ...

• Of Montreal

  
  Austin Sound — Authority: 503
  While it couldn’t really compare with their show last year at Fiesta Gardens, which was all out spectacle, Of Montreal still managed to put on quite a carnival of ridiculousness. Even given the sublime and eccentric quality of their brand of glam pop and danceably sardonic tunes, the sound was much more on par with ...

• Gorilla Biscuits

  
  Austin Sound — Authority: 503
  Gorilla Biscuits, the late 80s hardcore legends, took to the Black Stage here at Fun Fun Fun Fest and blast through an intense punk-by-the-numbers set. But, when you practically wrote the coloring book, it’s a-ok to be by-the-numbers. Blisteringly fast drums, shredding chugging guitars, and Civ’s frantic vocals ...

• Mission of Burma

  
  Austin Sound — Authority: 503
  Where is Martin Swope? Where is he!? Post-punk legends sounded tame. The weirdness brought by Swope’s off-stage tape and sound manipulation seemed to be missing from the mix (or maybe he’s just not here, literally) and it felt like the band was slightly neutered. Regardless, neutered for Mission of Burma still ...

  Lucero, Lucero, Lucero. How do I not like thee? I like Bruce and the E-Street band. I like Mike Ness. I once owned a Mighty Mighty Bosstones album or two – including later era old man Bosstones.

• The Strange Boys

  
  Austin Sound — Authority: 503
  Conditions weren’t the best for Austin garage rockers, The Strange Boys. The rain had been falling hard from the end of Harlem’s set and all through set up. So it was kind of a relief to hear twangy guitar and mumbled vocals of the Boys. What’s more, the group’s new addition of vocalist/saxophonist Jenna ...

• Harlem

  
  Austin Sound — Authority: 503
  With so many bands submerging themselves under layer of synthesizers and loop effects (like so many electro-pop outfits that performed on the Orange Stage this year), it’s great to see that Austin Harlem are actually playing their own instruments and enjoying their own sound on stage. Coming from the audience, I ...

• Broadcast

  
  Austin Sound — Authority: 503
  Weather it was the weather, or actually part of the performance, Broadcast’s set seemed to pop and hiss across their ambient electro. Whether intended or not, the scratchiness worked just fine into the Birmingham, UK duo’s sound - deep shoegaze with minimalist experimental flourishes that was mesmerizing behind ...

  Austin Sound — Authority: 503
  Oh Chris Rose, how we’ve missed you down here in Austin since you decided to take off for the NYC. Our little burg just hasn’t rocked the dancefloors quite as hard after you left. So needless to say, having Car Stereo (Wars) mixup maelstrom sweep back into town was a welcome event, and his samples, as always, were ...
