I never really had any great ambitions for my blog - it started off as a way for me to keep my hand in doing some writing, after I ditched magazine journalism in the early 2000s. It grew into this musical scrapbook that I throw ideas at, and now it gets about 12,000 to 15,000 unique visits a month, on average.
About a third of my readers come from NZ, a third from the US, and the rest from around the globe. It's really gratifying hearing people tell me they discovered new music via my blog.
Thanks for the support, interwebs peeps!
Here's some virtual cake. Enjoy.
