Hi there. I'm interested in knowing how band to band actually works. I'm a grad student in library and information science, and I was wondering how the code and software you use could be repurposed for a localized band to band engine?

All the code has been built from scratched by me. The data structures are fairly straight forward, database tables for bands, one for albums, artists, line-ups, etc. As for linking one band to another, I wrote the algorithm and later found out it's called a "breadth first search" which I'm sure you can find plenty of well written code samples for.

Hope that helps.

Thanks! Is it alright if I pick your brain a little, and/or get some advice on a local project? I think our local music scene could really benefit from this. Some of our local bands are represented here, Headlights, Corn Dolly (Angie Heaton), Tractor Kings...I live in Champaign Urbana.

I always thought Kevin kept mice in his basement with lots of those wheel-things to make things work here.
