A knowledge base of bluegrass, old‑time psychedelic jams, and other public‑domain music — kept like a record, dated by the block.
THE PICKIPEDIA · a wiki for public-domain music
On the front page
Lead story, notes, and the paper's photo — whatever is on Template:NewsShorts and Template:NewsPhoto.
- ICE uses Ferrell/Walker hit "American Dreaming" in propaganda video, draws immediate rebuke from Ferrell
- Rabbithole is in public beta. At 11:11 on 11/11, the player that shows the whole ensemble went live: who's playing what, each picker's page opening as they take their solo, and a trail to follow down the rabbithole of pickers. It's buggy for sure; say so on Talk:Rabbithole or in #rabbithole. Listen to "Paint Exchange" in Rabbithole.
- Kuba's last open commits were merged today. Kuba Hejhal's four commits of 5–6 July 2024, a rudimentary audio player with Silver .44 and August on its playlist, are now in the history: his name, his hashes, his timestamps. That player is where Rabbithole began.

Draft in the publication language: masthead, news lead, Listen/Watch/Make/Research/About columns, comms in the footer row. The real Main Page would carry this same structure with a site-level chrome (corner logo + topbar) rather than the zine takeover. Feedback welcome — edit freely.
