I've created a daily 45 page on Facebook, and it's a place where we're having lots of fun re-posting all kinds of tracks that have been featured on this site within the past four years. This is the place to post all of your requests!
I can't believe that I've been hosting this site for four years! That's nearly 1500 records featured, and the well STILL hasn't run dry. I'd love for you to reply to this post and say hello and say where you're writing from; little things like that help keep me going.

this is is the benchmark high for musical blogs. it's longevity is down to your dedication and quality tunes.
Some late congratulations from me as well!
Your blog is a blessing and a curse. A curse because it makes me realize I’m in no way the sonic conaisseur I’d like to think I am. Just the common Spectacled Mediocratus Musicalus Affiniadum, scraping the internet crumbles of other people’s hard work left behind. A curse because I just came across this blog two weeks ago en have a whopping 1500 cuts to delve into.
The blessings overcome the curses by a landslide fortunately. Blessed that someone is mining the Valley of Forgotten Waxings. Blessed that he is insane enough to share his daily excavations with the rest of the world. Blessed that I am part of the rest of that world.
The praise is hailing from The Netherlands by the way. My networking and organizing skills are poorly developed, so I won’t be arranging a gig for you. Pity, because I’d like to attend one. If however there’s another Dutchman willing to, I’d be more than happy to perhaps offer some bed and breakfast.
In the meantime, I’ll just be busy backtracking the blog. Thanks for that blessed curse.
Wow. Thanks for all of the amazing comments. Much appreciated!!!!
