Two years ago, when I was just a boy, I dreamed of launching a website with awesome local indie music, funny videos about dead animals and get-rich-quick schemes, and regular updates. My business partner Chris and I were able to accomplish those first two items easily, but the regular updates proved much more difficult with the cumbersome design of our huge, graphics-heavy website. After much deliberation I finally decided to scrap the old site and start from scratch.
It’s time for a new Happenin Records. A better Happenin Records.
Although the new Happenin Records website is still under heavy construction, you can expect to enjoy a slew of new features in just a matter of days. Among these new features will be a lot more videos, including work from our archives, a new home for the Max Magician and the Legend of the Rings Fanclub, and a new digital download store that will let you download Happenin Records’ MP3’s cheaply, direct from our site. pz4ayev852
There will also be a change in the content you see here. In order to keep HappeninRecords.com regularly updated I will be posting a lot more of my own personal goings on, including essays, art work, and who knows what else. My goal within the next couple of months is to establish a site that has new content every day of the year. So expect a much more personal Happenin Records, with a lot more stuff from me, like this sexy new watercolor I did last weekend…

One of the features I’m most excited about is our new enhanced commenting system that allows visitors to do all kinds of fancy stuff, like login with their Facebook accounts (coming soon), post video comments via webcam, and keep up with conversations with email reminders. I hope that this will encourage lots of discussions and flame wars at Happenin Records, so why not start one now? The first person to post a video comment to this post will get a free Three Happenin Guys CD of their choice.
I look forward to working with you friends, fans, and RSS followers to create an active web site that always has something entertaining or enlightening to offer. Come back soon for the next update.
