      With an emphasis on down home simplicity and a "100% pure and good" guarantee, FarWest Almanac caters to the fashionable tastes of elite music listeners. In addition to our coverage of country, bluegrass, blues, rock, rockabilly and old school punk music from all over the United States, we bring the old-time know-how to the city dweller.

      The Almanac is a pure DIY effort sprouting from a few dedicated individuals who refuse to stand idly by while journalism is gored on the dual prongs of multinational capitalism and a global economic meltdown.

      In order to survive, we accept donations and sell advertising to those lucky companies we deem worthy. Our criteria are fairly stiff: we limit ad sales to those who pay us cash money. We humbly ask that you consider us for any and all marketing needs you may have, as we provide the best marketing value available for your product or brand and your purchase will help us to survive to eventually fulfill our destiny to save the planet from itself, as was foretold by nine sages from every corner of the globe throughout the millennia.

      We live in a world where people from all countries are connected culturally in a more profound way then ever before. We are witnessing the emergence of music, art and cultural metamorphoses that could not have existed in previous eras. Culture is the laboratory of art, and the raw materials used in our experiments are the roots that have been laid in the past. Our mission is to trace the evolution of popular culture through its diverse roots.

      Traditional almanacs provided their readers with useful data including meteorological and agricultural facts; our almanac is the cultural equivalent, and contains reviews of various mainstream and underground media, calendars of events, social/political critiques, and helpful tips. We plumb the past to provide the modern person with the necessary tools to trace the evolution of this ever-changing beast, our world. To understand the current situation, look no further than the events that have brought us to this point in time. Look no further than the roots.
