Show HN: Trailer Swift (opens in new tab)

Built on the road from Seattle to SXSW. Rails, heroku, backbone, bootstrap. Location data from Google Latitude.

TODO: incorporate some lightweight analytics so we can work on new Trailer Swift records.

I just listened to Looking Back (http://heymarseilles.com/media/) - Just curious - does anyone know if there's actually a name for that kind of vocal styling and where/when it came from?

I don't think I ever hear people talking like that - it seems to be a specific affectation only for singing. I think the first time I heard it was Michael Stipe in REM? But it's spread since then - the Decemberists, Alanis Morissette, and a bunch of indies since then. It's like a specific sort of dipthong.

Has anyone written about it?

Upvoted for the name alone. Good luck!

Neat - I built something similar that uses the Songkick API and LeafletJS. Not quite as polished as yours though!

Very cool. Several months ago, there was an AMAZING tour tracking site posted here that showed the tour journey of a specific band I'm forgetting. Does anyone remember what that was?

Your pin for Northampton is mislocated. Northampton is on the Connecticut River in western MA, not north of Boston. Here: https://maps.google.com/maps?42.31912,-72.63175

As someone already pointed out, the links "Get the record", "Facebook",... are broken:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'get' of undefined application-8130dec2a6ff8caaab43fef0b7232c61.js

Nice, but there are js errors (tested Chrome Canary) when clicking on the links in the bottom left corner

Cool. I do find myself wishing the map didn't scroll with the info on the left though.

Why did you go through Houston instead of DFW? The latter is way cooler.

Need to include some information about what this is for. I just see the map with check marks and a truck pulling a wagon.
