Happy Birthday To Us

You Should Know


So exactly one year ago, inspired by the likes of Aquarium Drunkard and some other personal favorites such as Sound As Language and The Wheel's Still In Spin, I decided to start this music blog. It all started with an innocent little post on an old Richard Buckner album and grew from there. Through the help of some friends/guest contributors and the cooperation of some fine musicians (my favorite thing about this site is the interviews), this thing has grown from maybe 20-30 viewers a day to a very respectable 600-700. There was even that fluky month where we had more than 76,000 views. While our numbers are modest in comparison to some uber-popular music blogs out there, I have gotten some great feedback from our readers as well as from some musicians I have the utmost respect for. Our main goal here is to provide some free publicity for bands that you may not have heard of and I want to thank all those artists out there who have sent in CDs. It's like Christmas for me every day checking my mailbox. So thanks to anybody who reads the blog and hopefully we can keep this thing going another year! -- Capt. Obvious
