It was four years ago today…

Much to my surprise, it turns out that I wrote the very first post on 100b exactly four years ago today. It’s been said that, since I technically started this little blog, I should say a little something to mark the day.

I started 100b in secret, a little embarrassed to have my thoughts and questionable writing skills on display for all to see. But it didn’t take me long to realize that I am simply too lazy a person to be trusted with regular posting and updating. I’d only gotten through two (I think it was) posts before I asked the very mighty Tamboosh – my partner in musical crime even way back then – to join me and, together, we formed a vision of what we wanted our blog to be. It took just a bit over a year to lure aDawgg – with his mad organizational skillz and big ideas – to join us and we’ve been a team ever since.

And even after four whole years, the original vision hasn’t changed one bit. We wanted to be able to celebrate and gush about whatever crazy music we took a liking to – whether it was The White Stripes, Johnny Cash, or The Monkees. We wanted an outlet for those silly things we actually spend time thinking about. We wanted to post about things that made us laugh, even if no one else did. Above all, it had to be fun for us. If it wasn’t fun anymore, we were doing something wrong.

I think we done good. I’m proud to have created something, together with the two best friends I’ve ever had, that we all still enjoy so much after all this time. There are posts I particularly like, amazing artists I’d never have found otherwise, and I’ve been consistently entertained and educated by my fellow blog-mates.

And if just one person out there has discovered just one artist or song that they love through us, I’ll consider it all job well done.
