A whole year of Music Thing (as of last week)

Slightly tragically, I've managed to forget my own first birthday. The first ever MT post was on August 24th 2004. Since then, there have been 814 posts, 1.6 million page views and 2465 comments. Thanks to Mikey and Tommy all the other inspiring people who've sent ideas, and apologies for those I never got round to posting. Sorry it's been quiet over the last few weeks - I've been very distracted by work, a new baby, builders all over my house (oh, and that Evolver 3.0 Upgrade). Normal service will hopefully be resumed soon. Thanks also to all the other music-gear bloggers. I started MT because there was nothing I wanted to read, and now there's plenty.

Happy Belated Birthday!
Keep up the good work Tom, You've kept me and the other audio boys here at Blitz Games entertained during many a long day.
Cheers!

Is it only a year? checking MT first thing every morning seems as much part of my working day as a nice latte from Café Nerd…or, I dunno, work or something.

It's been a joy to have been a small part of the sketch. Long may it continue!

Since it's inception MusicThing has been my favo(u)rite geek blog and I visit a little too often probably. Thanks for everything Tom, including putting up with my incessant posting.

Do you see yourself keeping this site going for another year or more? I mean, wow you have a new baby and an Evolver 3 upgrade. Hope you keep it up.

Hey Tom,
When there are a billion websites and there are a few I visit several times a week consistently for a year I think that says something.
Thanks eh. David Owen BC Canada

definately the best blog ive ever seen - keep up the awesome work, Tom and co.

one of the very few sights that has a finger on the actual beating pulse of the stranger aspects of the music/synth world
