Happy New Year! - and Celebrating a Blog Viewership Milestone

Starting the New Year with a Milestone

Hey There! As the calendar turned over to the new year of 2024 (Happy New Year Everyone!), this blog reached another viewership milestone. In the lifetime of this blog, it has now amassed over 6,000,000 (6 Million) views! Cool, although of course, it has taken over 15 years to get there, so on a yearly basis it's not that much, but still, 6 million. Not bad for such a part-time, whenever-I-have-time-for-it type blog. It's had its ups and downs, but persevered through numerous setbacks and filesharing closures and shutdowns. So, moving forward through the new year and beyond, things will continue on pretty much the same here. I will endeavor to post commentary on new albums and band/artist album rankings as I see them, as well as interesting unreleased concert recordings and demos as they become available. Currently I have not yet found a replacement filesharing service for the Ulozto.net shutdown, which I was using for all the larger size files (>200 MB), thus most of those links are no longer active. Plus, there are still many of the solidfile links that have not been replaced following that site shutdown last year. But I am continuing to try to keep as many of the download links as possible available, but it has been a losing battle recently. Anyway, I will continue on providing as much new content as I can muster. Coming in the next few weeks will be an album ranking of a classic band, another OOP vinyl curiosities post, some more capsule album reviews, and hopefully a few more concert recordings. So, thank you to all those that have stuck with this endeavor and keep coming back to check out what I have here, and thank you to all that have contributed to reaching this milestone of 6 million views. Hopefully there are still many many more to come.
