A Milestone Reached

Half a Million Readers Can't be Wrong!

Sometime last night, the page-view counter on Superconductor ticked over the 500,000 mark. I want to thank all of the artists I've written about, the press agents who have made it possible for me to see so many performances and the record labels for providing me with stuff to write about.

I'd like to thank my colleagues: newspaper critics, book authors and fellow bloggers for camaraderie and encouragement through yet another serving of the Tchaikovsky Fifth.

I'd like to thank the advertisers too, with a polite reminder that advertising rates are available. (Hey, it's a business!)

Above all, though, I'd like to thank you readers for coming to Superconductor and staying with the blog for so many articles--especially when I went off my head and decided to make this a daily (or as I like to call it, an almost-daily publication.

I hope you continue to enjoy reading Superconductor. Here's some nice music:
