PREVIEW: ThrashVolt Prepares to Roll for Neil Young's LOVE EARTH Summer Concert Tour

As you may have noticed, Thrasher's Wheat went on a sabbatical break earlier this year.

During this time -- besides trying to enjoy ourselves and remain above the fray -- we worked to re-imagine the Thrasher's Wheat platform and prepare for yet another re-launch of the 2nd longest continuously running website dedicated to a single topic on the Internet [i.e., Original Influencer #2].

So, without further ado, we bring you a preview of ThrashVolt (see prototype above).

And what pray tell might ThrashVolt possibly be all about?

ThrashVolt is being built in hopes of taking her out on the road this summer for Neil Young & The Chrome Hearts: Love Earth Tour.  Fully customized, ThrashVolt will operate as a mobile platform for Thrasher's Wheat with servers, full high resolution audio and a somewhat limited broadcast studio.

Our plan is to road test the technology under heavy real world conditions and then roll out a full upgrade this Fall.

And why might you ask? Why invest so much into a guaranteed money losing proposition? A fair question.  Obviously, we're thinking ahead to our coming 30 year anniversary here at TW.  It's been a long time since we did significant infrastructure updates and the systems are showing their age badly as feeds fail, links break and a myriad of daily technical challenges. 

Obviously, ThrashVolt is a nod to Neil's LincVolt, a revolutionary advance in state of the art eco-auto tech. While it is yet to be seen how much of game changer this may be for the blogging world, we're hopeful that our advances here will pave the road ahead for even greater progress.

We need to get back to our creative roots of following Neil's muse wherever it takes us and away from the routine, mundane chores of posting news, managing comments and trying to fix stuff that breaks.  It is our hope that ThrashVolt's technology upgrades will help us with separating the administrative chaff from the more rewarding and engaging wheat like presenting only the best from the rustie grains communities.  

Lastly, you might be thinking how can "I", the TW reader help support?  In terms of a fundraiser, our thinking is to have folks sponsor a sticker on ThrashVolt.  Submit a donation and earn a custom TV sticker with a Neil lyric, song or handle or whatever your fancy.  More to come.  Let us know what you think below in comments.

We're looking forward to seeing folks out on the road this summer!

peace & love,

thrashers 

ps - Happy ARC Day!
