This is post number four thousand at Bagging Area, the four thousandth time I've written a few words about pop music. Without wanting to blow my own trumpet too much, that's a lot of posts and some kind of achievement- possibly also a sign of an obsessive nature and as Drew sometimes points out a tad self indulgent too. But still, four thousand.
Some musical maths for you. I was thinking about trying to do a Countdown style randomly selected set of numbers (in song titles) and seeing if anyone could use them to calculate 4000. But I've just spent 48 hours living in a field in Lancashire with a group of 14 year olds as an end of the school year experience and I'm quite tired so the maths is staying very simple and involves these artists- Massive Attack v Burial, The Charlatans and The Gentle Waves.

4000 is mightily impressive SA
ReplyDeleteYu are now an institution!
Seriously impressive achievement. For context, I've been blogging at various levels of intensity since February 2005 yet only have 830-something posts to my name. Respect!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4000th post. More power to your blogging elbow!
ReplyDeleteA remarkable achievement SA - congratulations! Here's to the next 4000!
ReplyDeleteSwiss, your content is consistently engaging, and (along with reminding me of music that I already knew) you've introduced me to many interesting artists that I probably wouldn't have come across otherwise, especially in the IDM/EDM area - thanks for all the great posts that you do!
ReplyDeleteFour thousand posts is a fantastic achievement. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteKudos!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the posts and interesting digressions. Daily posts must be the endurance sport of the blogger.

4000? Boggles my mind, to be honest! Congratulations and thank you for being so dedicated and allowing me to hear so much good new music to boot.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. The thought of 4000 more makes more feel a bit overwhelmed but I have no plans to stop. TBH the decision to post daily and the necessity to write daily is a discipline I enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWell done SA
ReplyDeleteDrew
Equal parts discipline and passion. I don't know how you do it... just keep doing it. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteImpressive and always enjoyable! Congrats!
ReplyDelete… and by and large each and every post was a winner, I have been introduced to a lot of brilliant stuff over the years, so thanks for that, SA!
