This project has been a lot of fun. The point of it is to assist in conversations in a music-related Hangouts group chat. I’m not sure why everyone settled on Hangouts as the chat standard for our group, but people like it because the barrier to entry is so low. I’m used to IRC and having bots assist in the conversation, so I was a little bummed that everyone wanted to use Hangouts....

Songkick is a music service that finds local concerts based on your personal tastes. You give it some info about what you like, either through an exported iTunes library, Pandora playlist, or Last.fm scrobble history, tell it where you’re interested in going, and it lets you know who is playing and where. I’ve been a happy user for at least two years now, and it’s a really good tool for tracking tours and concert history....
