Regardless, all five readers have excellent sites that have supported me, and I support in turn.  I recommend that you check each one of them out.  Aaron and James at keepsmealive write mostly about music, and music related anecdotes.  Their site goes back to 2007 and there is plenty of content there.  Scott, our Heavy Metal OverloRd, always has something interesting to check out in his Buying Round-Ups and reviews.  If you like music, books, video games and coffee (who doesn’t), then you need to check out Sarca at Caught Me Gaming.  She is also the founder of the #cupfacecrew.  If you like quirky music reviews with Lego re-enactments, then the fine 1537 is the site for you.  Joe’s photography is just as interesting as his writing.  Then for everything in the Swedish and world hard rock scenes, Jon Wilmenius runs e-tainment news and reviews.  I swear to God, I had no idea Sweden had so many rock bands!  His annual Sweden Rock Festival reviews are always a treat.

Happy New Year to you, and keep on rockin’ in the free world!

        1. You know, from that and Aaron’s lists this year, I think next year I will have to do a top 5 reissues list. It’s just such a big part of our collecting now.

        3. Yeah no kidding! And with so many critical ones coming out recently, like the Zeps and Bon Jovi New Jersey, etc. Priest in the new year…it will never end.

  4. I like that extra layer of wtf search terms – the terms + the number of times they hoped your site was going to display exactly what they were searching for.

    Another fine year of blogging Mike!

    1. Thanks Geoff! And an extra special thanks to the “boobsy animation whores”, whoever they are! I shudder to think how many hits that would be if I included every single variation of that phrase that I get. Because I get hits on it every single day.

      Thanks again and have a great night tonight!

  8. Um…”Ip ts com musica we re gonna make”. How does that have 40 hits. Someone must not have found what they were looking for the first 39 times.
