“The only reason why we ask other people how their weekend was is so we can tell them about our own weekend.” – Chuck Palahniuk
Hello and welcome to the very last blog post of the work week! If you are joining us on the afternoon this post goes live then you are no doubt glancing back and forth between this page and the clock in the upper right hand corner of your computer screen. That’s okay, some of us are probably doing it too. The weekend is right around the corner and you probably have plans. Are they awesome? I bet they are! Feel free to tell us about them in the comments below.
Each and every Friday we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you.
NEXT WEEK IS THE WEEK WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!
After more than a month of promotion we will finally be able to unveil our highly-anticipated and automated DMCA takedown service. This completely optional service will help clients by scrawling through the internet, recognizing leaks, tracking sources, and automatically issuing DMCA takedown notices for the remainder of the client’s membership with Haulix. We hope to push everything live on Monday, but it may take a few extra days to get things just the way we want them. Keep an eye on this page for additional updates.
Speaking of new things, you may have caught this in yesterday’s post, but we will soon be launching our first-ever podcast! We are lining up guests now and hope to have the first post live within the next week or two. We are going to keep our guest list under wraps for now, but if you would like to appear feel free to email james@haulix.com.
On the blog end of things, we used this week to reintroduce our readers to our Artist Spotlight series, while also making time for a wealth of new Advice articles. In the weeks ahead we have a very special announcement regarding our lawyer friend, as well as guests from No Sleep Records, Tiny Engines, and more. You can find a link to every article we have featured in recent days below:

That’s all we have on the update front this week. Before I let you go, however, I want to present a challenge. While reading about Elton John this week I learned his mother made it a point to always buy a new record every Friday. I know not everyone has the financial means to buy an album a week, but I would like to see everyone make a conscious effort to regularly buy music – even just a single – at least a couple of times every month.
Okay, that’s really all we have for now. Have a great weekend!
