One of the things that concerned me about being in a Blog format was people not noticing older Reviews. The 7 posts front display meant that much previous could be missed and although each artist was tagged, that provided a really long tagging list, too unwieldy to be of great use.
So it is delightful to see that the current most popular post over the past 30 days is a 2019 Review of the superb No Buses album, a Japanese band with incredible Intelligent Indie credentials. They are still around, albeit sporadically, I just wish that their music was a little bit more organised distribution wise as they are a superb band.
I put a lot of work into Google Analytics around 2019 and 2020. It was really boring stuff, lots of reading and tip getting, but it does work. Older posts get spotted much more often such as Mick Dillingham's Interviews. It is great currently to see this album and a Listening To This Week Playlist from 2024 both getting such attention.
I Don't Hear A Single has always been a bout the artist and older posts getting attention leaves me with a big smile. In the same way, that I hope people reading a review of a new album then go back to listen to the artist's back catalogue.
I'm no advocate of anything Google, it sort of swallows up everything great and its latest focus completely on AI is totally welcome. But Analytics continues to work with little personal attention. I just wish other initiatives could make new music more accessible. Spotify is never the answer.
