It slipped my mind, but yesterday was the blog’s second birthday (that’s 14 in blog years). Seems like a lot longer ago to me. A lot of people have passed by here in the last two years. Over 300,000 visits. Some regulars, some lurkers, some who’ve come and gone (and even come back again).

Two years ago, I didn’t know if anybody would actually come over here, or, if they did, how long after the show was over that interest would die out, and that would be the end of that. It’s hard to believe this place not only outlived both MS and the Mark Maron Show, but the first version of AAR itself (and it may damn well be around for the end of the AAR 2.0 era – such as it is – too).

That’s not too shabby for a show that never got any promotion, was on in the middle of the night on the West Coast (if it was on at all), forced many of us to jump through all sorts of hoops just to listen to it, and required both a brain and sense of humor to appreciate.

It really was something special.
